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.

Proteome-wide evidence for enhanced positive Darwinian selection within intrinsically disordered regions in proteins

TL;DR: It is suggested that intrinsically disordered protein regions may be important for the production and maintenance of genetic variation with adaptive potential and that they may thus be of central significance for the evolvability of the organism or cell in which they occur.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Genome-wide Survey of the Prevalence and Evolutionary Forces Acting on Human Nonsense SNPs

TL;DR: A large-scale experimental survey of nonsense SNPs in the human genome is carried out by genotyping 805 of them and a few showed signs of being possibly advantageous, as indicated by unusually high levels of population differentiation, long haplotypes, and/or high frequencies of derived alleles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Forensic genetics and ethical, legal and social implications beyond the clinic

TL;DR: Forensic genetics is examined and it is argued that all geneticists should anticipate the ethical and social issues associated with nonmedical applications of genetic variation research.
Journal ArticleDOI

The mid p-value in exact tests for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

TL;DR: The mid p-value is shown to have a type 1 error rate that is always closer to the nominal level, and to have better power, than the standard p- value, which is overly conservative for small minor allele frequencies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Linkage disequilibrium inflates type I error rates in multipoint linkage analysis when parental genotypes are missing.

TL;DR: Inflation in nonparametric multipoint LOD scores due to inter-marker linkage disequilibrium across many markers with varied allele frequencies strongly supports the evaluation of LD in multipoint linkage analyses, and suggests that unaccounted for LD may be suspected when two-point and multipoint linking analyses show a marked disparity in regions with elevated r2 measures of LD.
