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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

Latent class analysis variable selection

TL;DR: A method for selecting variables in latent class analysis, which is the most common model-based clustering method for discrete data, is proposed and found that the method selected the correct clustering variables, and led to improvements in classification performance and in accuracy of the choice of the number of classes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relationship of BMPR2 Mutations to Vasoreactivity in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

TL;DR: Patients with familial or idiopathic PAH and nonsynonymous BMPR2 variations are unlikely to demonstrate vasoreactivity, and further trials are required to determine whether long-term therapy can be directed by tests for BM PR2 variations.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Challenges of Whole-Genome Approaches to Common Diseases

TL;DR: Powerful statistical and computational methods will need to be developed to model the relationship between combinations of SNPs and disease susceptibility, which suggests several challenges in identifying susceptibility genes from the entire human genome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Progress and prospects in mapping recent selection in the genome.

TL;DR: Some current progress and remaining challenges in the field of molecular population genetics are reviewed.

Survey of allelic expression using EST mining

TL;DR: This study uses human EST data in dbEST as the source of allelic expression data, and the HapMap database to provide expected allele frequencies in human populations to provide in silico as well as experimental evidence that this strategy does allow significant enrichment of genes harboring common heritable cis-acting polymorphisms in linkage disequilibrium with expressed alleles.
