Experimental design and error detection for polyploid radiation hybrid mapping.

TL;DR: It is found that in general, combinations of ploidy and chromosome-specific retention rates that lead to a per-hybrid retention rate of approximately 50% result in the greatest power to order markers, and analyzing polyploid radiation hybrids as if they were haploid does not compromise the ability to order marker but does result in less accurate intermarker distance estimates.
Journal Article

Fine-structure genetic mapping of human chromosomes using the polymerase chain reaction on single sperm: experimental design considerations.

TL;DR: Sperm typing will be an efficient method for generating fine-structure human genetic maps and Sequential analysis of trios of loci by sperm typing will provide a very accurate means of ordering any number of tightly linked loci.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel association of TM6SF2 rs58542926 genotype with increased serum tyrosine levels and decreased apoB-100 particles in Finns

TL;DR: A glutamate-to-lysine variant (rs58542926-T) in transmembrane 6 superfamily member 2 (TM6SF2) is associated with increased fatty liver disease and diabetes in conjunction with decreased cardiovascular disease risk as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

New alcohol-related genes suggest shared genetic mechanisms with neuropsychiatric disorders

Evangelos Evangelou, +114 more
TL;DR: This article conducted a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of alcohol consumption from the UK Biobank, the Alcohol Genome Wide Consortium and the Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology Plus consortia, collecting data from 480,842 people of European descent to decipher the genetic architecture of alcohol intake.

Extremely rare variants reveal patterns of germline mutation rate heterogeneity in humans

TL;DR: This work uses ∼36 million singleton variants from 3,560 whole-genome sequences to infer fine-scale patterns of mutation rate heterogeneity and provides the most refined portrait to date of the factors contributing to genome-wide variability of the human germline mutation rate.
