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.

The Impact of Natural Selection on an ABCC11 SNP Determining Earwax Type

TL;DR: It is shown that absolute latitude is significantly associated with the allele frequency ofrs17822931-A in Asian, Native American, and European populations, implying that the selective advantage of rs178229 31-A is related to an adaptation to a cold climate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polymorphisms within the protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTPN1) gene promoter: functional characterization and association with type 2 diabetes and related metabolic traits.

TL;DR: The PTPN1 promoter variants -1023C>A and -51delA (which appears to be functional) were not associated with T2D or related traits in this study but must be investigated in a larger population to reveal any potential metabolic association.
Journal ArticleDOI

Using HapMap tools in pharmacogenomic discovery: the thiopurine methyltransferase polymorphism.

TL;DR: The findings show that HapMap resources are useful for pharmacogenetic discovery when the candidate gene is known, but challenges remain for definitive gene identification when a genome‐wide agnostic approach is employed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Commentary: to genotype or not to genotype? Addressing the debate through the development of a genomics and personalized medicine curriculum.

TL;DR: A schoolwide task force was formed to evaluate the risks and benefits of offering personal genotyping to students and residents, and the salient issues raised by the task force were discussed and safeguards adopted into the ultimate approval and implementation of the course.
