Differentially methylated loci distinguish ovarian carcinoma histological types: evaluation of a DNA methylation assay in FFPE tissue.

TL;DR: It is found that lower bsDNA overestimates methylation, and, using higher bs DNA amounts, this report confirmed a previous report of higher methylation of THBS2 in clear cell OC, which could provide new insight into biological pathways that distinguish OC histological types.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variations of the GP6 regulatory region in patients with sticky platelet syndrome and miscarriage.

TL;DR: The results support the idea that genetic variability of GP6 regulatory regions can be associated with platelet hyperaggregability – a possible cause of miscarriage.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Bayesian approach to Mendelian randomisation with dependent instruments.

TL;DR: The use of Bayesian model averaging (BMA) is investigated to average the MR over all possible combinations of genetic variants, demonstrating that the BMA version of MR outperforms classical estimation with many dependent variants and performs much better than an MR based on variants selected by penalised regression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Windfalls and pitfalls: Applications of population genetics to the search for disease genes

TL;DR: It is argued that population-genetic thinking—which takes a theoretical view of the evolutionary forces that guide the emergence and propagation of genetic variants—substantially informs the design and interpretation of genetic association studies and sheds light on genetic confounding.
Journal ArticleDOI

Subpopulation difference scanning: a strategy for exclusion mapping of susceptibility genes

TL;DR: This work proposes a strategy, subpopulation difference scanning (SDS), to exclude large fractions of the genome as locations of genes for complex disorders, and takes advantage of drift within highly related subpopulations.

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.
