Arterial Stiffness, Physical Activity, and Atrial Natriuretic Peptide Gene Polymorphism in Older Subjects

TL;DR: The results suggest that ANP polymorphism in older Japanese subjects may affect the cardiovascular response to regular exercise.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Genetic Regulation of Infant Immune Responses to Vaccination

TL;DR: Given the high mortality from infection in early life and the challenges of developing vaccines that generate effective immune responses in the context of the developing immune system further research on infant populations is required.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association study of CYP17 and HSD11B1 in polycystic ovary syndrome utilizing comprehensive gene coverage.

TL;DR: In this article, the association between variation in these genes and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) was evaluated, and the results indicated that variants in the two genes are not associated with PCOS or with the quantitative traits characteristic of PCOS, suggesting that these genes were not major risk factors for the syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Algorithms for Efficient Near-Perfect Phylogenetic Tree Reconstruction in Theory and Practice

TL;DR: This work proves that the BNPP problem is fixed-parameter tractable and provides the first practical phylogenetic tree reconstruction algorithms that find guaranteed optimal solutions while being easily implemented and computationally feasible for data sets of biologically meaningful size and complexity.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-Resolution Mapping for Essential Hypertension Using Microsatellite Markers

TL;DR: This work carried out genome-wide mapping using 18 977 microsatellite markers in a Japanese population composed of 385 hypertensive patients and 385 normotensive control subjects, and identified 19 allelic loci that were significantly different between the cases of essential hypertension and the controls.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
