Journal ArticleDOI

Gene inactivation and its implications for annotation in the era of personal genomics

TL;DR: The extent of variation in gene and pseudogene numbers between individuals arising from inactivation events such as premature termination or aberrant splicing due to single-nucleotide polymorphisms is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Measuring shifts in function and evolutionary opportunity using variability profiles: a case study of the globins.

TL;DR: The relationship between sequence variability and ``evolutionary opportunity'' is discussed and the utility of Maynard Smith's multidimensional evolutionary opportunity space metaphor is explored for exploring functional constraints, genetic redundancy, and the context dependency of the genotype-phenotype map.
Journal ArticleDOI

ACT: aggregation and correlation toolbox for analyses of genome tracks.

TL;DR: An efficient, multifaceted toolbox for analyzing continuous signal and discrete region tracks from high-throughput genomic experiments, such as RNA-seq or ChIP-chip signal profiles from the ENCODE and modENCODE projects, or lists of single nucleotide polymorphisms from the 1000 genomes project.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and characterization of over 100 mitochondrial ribosomal protein pseudogenes in the human genome.

TL;DR: This study provides a catalogue of human MRP pseudogenes, which will be useful in the study of functional MRP genes and provides a molecular record of the evolution of these genes.
