Journal ArticleDOI

Generation and initial analysis of more than 15,000 full-length human and mouse cDNA sequences.

Robert L. Strausberg, +81 more
TL;DR: The National Institutes of Health Mammalian Gene Collection (MGC) Program is a multiinstitutional effort to identify and sequence a cDNA clone containing a complete ORF for each human and mouse gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative analyses of multi-species sequences from targeted genomic regions

TL;DR: The generation and analysis of over 12 megabases of sequence from 12 species, all derived from the genomic region orthologous to a segment of about 1.8 Mb on human chromosome 7 containing ten genes, show conservation reflecting both functional constraints and the neutral mutational events that shaped this genomic region.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of Unconventional Myosin MYO15 Mutations with Human Nonsyndromic Deafness DFNB3

TL;DR: A human unconventional myosin gene, MYO15, was identified by combining functional and positional cloning approaches in searching for shaker-2 and DFNB3, revealing two missense mutations and one nonsense mutation that cosegregated with congenital recessive deafness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correction of deafness in shaker-2 mice by an unconventional myosin in a BAC transgene

TL;DR: Shaker-2 mice were found to have an amino acid substitution at a highly conserved position within the motor domain of this myosin this article, which suggests that Myo15 is necessary for actin organization in the hair cells of the cochlea.
