Journal ArticleDOI

Whole-genome analyses resolve early branches in the tree of life of modern birds

Erich D. Jarvis, +116 more
- 12 Dec 2014 - 
TL;DR: A genome-scale phylogenetic analysis of 48 species representing all orders of Neoaves recovered a highly resolved tree that confirms previously controversial sister or close relationships and identifies the first divergence in Neoaves, two groups the authors named Passerea and Columbea.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling Linkage Disequilibrium Increases Accuracy of Polygenic Risk Scores

Bjarni J. Vilhjálmsson, +394 more
TL;DR: LDpred is introduced, a method that infers the posterior mean effect size of each marker by using a prior on effect sizes and LD information from an external reference panel, and outperforms the approach of pruning followed by thresholding, particularly at large sample sizes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Great ape genetic diversity and population history

Javier Prado-Martinez, +79 more
- 25 Jul 2013 - 
TL;DR: This comprehensive catalogue of great ape genome diversity provides a framework for understanding evolution and a resource for more effective management of wild and captive great ape populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

RNA Exosome Depletion Reveals Transcription Upstream of Active Human Promoters

TL;DR: It is proposed that PROMPT transcription is a common characteristic of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcribed genes with a possible regulatory potential and is positively correlated with gene activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insights into hominid evolution from the gorilla genome sequence

Aylwyn Scally, +74 more
- 08 Mar 2012 - 
TL;DR: A comparison of protein coding genes reveals approximately 500 genes showing accelerated evolution on each of the gorilla, human and chimpanzee lineages, and evidence for parallel acceleration, particularly of genes involved in hearing.
