Population Genetic Analysis of the DARC Locus (Duffy) Reveals Adaptation from Standing Variation Associated with Malaria Resistance in Humans

TL;DR: The evolutionary history of a gene associated with resistance to the most common malaria-causing parasite, Plasmodium vivax, is revisited and it is shown that it is one of regions of the human genome that has been under strongest selective pressure in the authors' evolutionary history.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural Variation Detection by Proximity Ligation from Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded Tumor Tissue

TL;DR: A high-throughput chromosome conformation capture approach for FFPE samples that is similar in concept to Hi-C and will enable detailed resolution of global genome rearrangement events during cancer progression from FFPEs and will inform the development of targeted molecular diagnostic assays for patient care.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanical, electrical, and chemical manipulation of single DNA molecules

TL;DR: The results presented represent a first step in the development of molecular scale surgery on cells and organelles and the use of polymers to fabricate molecular scale structures and devices.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

LitGen: Genetic Literature Recommendation Guided by Human Explanations.

TL;DR: This work proposes the first machine learning system, LitGen, that can retrieve papers for a particular variant and filter them by specific evidence types used by curators to assess for pathogenicity, and uses semi-supervised deep learning to predict the type of evidence provided by each paper.
