Race, genetics and medicine: does the color of a leopard's spots matter?

TL;DR: Geographical origin and explicit genetic data are more accurate predictors of ancestry than race because the genetic variants predicted to underlie common disease are often not common across populations with different ancestry or differ significantly in frequency among such populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Further evidence for the existence of major susceptibility of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in the region near HLA-A locus in Southern Chinese

TL;DR: This present study supports that the segment from D6S211 to D 6S510 in HLA complex region might contain NPC susceptibility loci which indeed needs to be fully investigated in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI

From the era of genome analysis to the era of genomic drug discovery: a pioneering example of rheumatoid arthritis.

TL;DR: By integrating RA genetic findings with the complete catalog of approved drugs for RA and other diseases, empirical data is provided to indicate that human genetic‐based approaches may be useful for supporting ‘genetics‐driven genomic drug discovery’ efforts in complex human traits and suggest that further development of integrative approaches should be undertaken.

Graphical-model Based Multiple Testing under Dependence, with Applications to Genome-wide Association Studies

TL;DR: This work proposes a multiple testing procedure based on a Markov-random-field-coupled mixture model, which is applied to a real-world genome-wide association study on breast cancer, and identifies several SNPs with strong association evidence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polymorphism in IFI16 affects CD4(+) T-cell counts in HIV-1 infection.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that SNP rs1417806 in IFI16 is associated with CD4+ T‐cell counts at set point and HIV‐1 disease progression, indicating that IFI 16 affects HIV‐ 1 pathogenesis especially during the early phase of infection.

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.
