Genomics in Sudden Cardiac Death

TL;DR: Advances in genomic science applicable to the SCD public health problem in both rare and common forms of heart disease are addressed, including novel bioinformatic approaches to both identify candidate genes/pathways and identify previously unknown functional genetic elements, as well as methods to comprehensively screen these elements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Strong and Weak Male Mutation Bias at Different Sites in the Primate Genomes: Insights from the Human-Chimpanzee Comparison

TL;DR: It is discovered that the strength of male mutation bias is nonuniform in the primate genomes and depends on the proportion of CpG sites in the loci compared, which might explain the differences in the magnitude of primatemale mutation bias observed among studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ancestry informative markers for fine-scale individual assignment to worldwide populations

TL;DR: A systematic evaluation of the resolution that can be achieved for the inference of genetic ancestry, even when small panels of genetic markers are used and a decision tree for the prediction of individual ancestry is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene Variants of VAMP8 and HNRPUL1 Are Associated With Early-Onset Myocardial Infarction

TL;DR: Variants in 2 genes were associated with early-onset MI: VAMP8, which is involved in platelet degranulation, and HNRPUL1, which encodes a ribonuclear protein, which could improve understanding of disease mechanisms and suggest novel drug targets.

A haplotype map of the human genome

John W. Belmont, +232 more
TL;DR: A public database of common variation in the human genome: more than one million single nucleotide polymorphisms for which accurate and complete genotypes have been obtained in 269 DNA samples from four populations, including ten 500-kilobase regions in which essentially all information about common DNA variation has been extracted.

A second generation human haplotype map of over 3.1 million SNPs

Kelly A. Frazer, +237 more
- 18 Oct 2007 - 
TL;DR: The Phase II HapMap is described, which characterizes over 3.1 million human single nucleotide polymorphisms genotyped in 270 individuals from four geographically diverse populations and includes 25–35% of common SNP variation in the populations surveyed, and increased differentiation at non-synonymous, compared to synonymous, SNPs is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accurate whole human genome sequencing using reversible terminator chemistry

David R. Bentley, +201 more
- 06 Nov 2008 - 
TL;DR: An approach that generates several billion bases of accurate nucleotide sequence per experiment at low cost is reported, effective for accurate, rapid and economical whole-genome re-sequencing and many other biomedical applications.

ABySS: A parallel assembler for short read sequence data

TL;DR: ABySS (Assembly By Short Sequences), a parallelized sequence assembler, was developed and assembled 3.5 billion paired-end reads from the genome of an African male publicly released by Illumina, Inc, representing 68% of the reference human genome.

Genome sequence, comparative analysis and haplotype structure of the domestic dog

Kerstin Lindblad-Toh, +241 more
- 08 Dec 2005 - 
TL;DR: A high-quality draft genome sequence of the domestic dog is reported, together with a dense map of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across breeds, to shed light on the structure and evolution of genomes and genes.
