The Haplotype Structure of the Human Major Histocompatibility Complex

TLDR
The results suggest that the human genome, including the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), consists largely of 5- to 200-kb blocks of sequence fixity between which random recombination occurs, and the use of statistical analysis rather than direct haplotype determination and counting fails to reveal the details of haplotype structure essential for gene localization.

Detecting shared pathogenesis from the shared genetics of immune-related diseases

TL;DR: It is discussed how identifying new genes that are associated with more than one autoimmune or chronic inflammatory disorder could explain the genetic basis of the shared pathogenesis of immune-related diseases.

Next-generation sequencing: the solution for high-resolution, unambiguous human leukocyte antigen typing

TL;DR: The results suggest NGS can provide complete, unambiguous, high-resolution HLA typing and can be a useful tool for complete genomic characterization of new HLA alleles and for completion of sequence for existing, partially sequenced alleles.

The Genetic Basis of Evolutionary Change

TL;DR: A new book that many people really want to read will you be one of them? Of course, you should be as discussed by the authors, even some people think that reading is a hard to do, you must be sure that you can do it.

The Interaction of Selection and Linkage. I. General Considerations; Heterotic Models.

TL;DR: The results of these investigations were sufficient to show that even for relatively simple cases (two loci, simple symmetrical selective values) linkage might have profound effects on the course of natural selection and, pari passu, natural selection may have major effect on the distribution of coupling and repulsion linkage in a population.

High-resolution haplotype structure in the human genome.

TL;DR: A high-resolution analysis of the haplotype structure across 500 kilobases on chromosome 5q31 using 103 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a European-derived population offers a coherent framework for creating a haplotype map of the human genome.

Genetic data analysis II : methods for discrete population genetic data

Bruce S. Weir
TL;DR: The second edition of "Genetic Data Analysis" as discussed by the authors details the statistical methodology needed to draw inferences from discrete genetic data, including methods to locate human disease genes, and a new chapter on individual identification.
