Journal ArticleDOI

Mapping copy number variation by population-scale genome sequencing

Ryan E. Mills, +374 more
- 03 Feb 2011 - 
TL;DR: A map of unbalanced SVs is constructed based on whole genome DNA sequencing data from 185 human genomes, integrating evidence from complementary SV discovery approaches with extensive experimental validations, and serves as a resource for sequencing-based association studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human Demographic History Impacts Genetic Risk Prediction across Diverse Populations

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that scores inferred from European GWASs are biased by genetic drift in other populations even when choosing the same causal variants and that biases in any direction are possible and unpredictable.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent Advances in Optical Tweezers

TL;DR: Although technical in nature, these developments have important implications for the expanded use of optical tweezers in biochemical research and thus should be of general interest.
Journal ArticleDOI

The bacteriophage φ29 portal motor can package DNA against a large internal force

TL;DR: The force–velocity relationship of the motor is established and it is found that the rate-limiting step of the machine's cycle is force dependent even at low loads, suggesting that this force may be available for initiating the ejection of the DNA from the capsid during infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ionic effects on the elasticity of single DNA molecules

TL;DR: A retractile force appears in the presence of multivalent cations at molecular extensions that allow intramolecular contacts, suggesting condensation in stretched DNA occurs by a "thermal ratchet" mechanism.
