Simple reconstruction of binary near-perfect phylogenetic trees

TL;DR: An algorithm for constructing optimal phylogenies using binary character states is developed and implemented, showing that it substantially outperforms its worst-case bounds and yields far superior results to a commonly used heuristic method in at least one case.
Journal ArticleDOI

TNF Block Gene Variants Associate With Pain Intensity in Black Southern Africans With HIV-associated Sensory Neuropathy.

TL;DR: A novel genetic association between polymorphisms in the TNF block and the pain intensity in black Southern Africans with HIV-SN is identified, which implicates rs28445017 in painful HIV- SN, although its precise role and whether it may be causative is unclear.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic Susceptibility to Prion Diseases in Humans and Mice

TL;DR: Characterisation of these mouse alleles and then their human homologues may allow the identification of at-risk individuals for BSE prion infection, allow better prediction of any vCJD epidemic, and ultimately should identify new proteins and biochemical pathways which will contribute to the understanding of prion pathogenesis and provide new targets for therapeutic intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI

An integrated Bayesian analysis of LOH and copy number data

TL;DR: A method is proposed (gBPCR) which infers the type of aberration occurred, taking into account all the possible influence in the microarray detection of the homozygosity status of the SNPs, resulting from an altered CN level.
Journal ArticleDOI

Associations of Progesterone Receptor Polymorphisms with Age at Menarche and Menstrual Cycle Length

TL;DR: Genetic variation in PGR was associated with age at menarche and menstrual cycle length in this population and further investigation of these associations in a replication dataset is warranted.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
