  1. ...can have clinical/biological consequences. TR instabilities occur in humans and other organisms. TRs can be epigenetically modified and/or chromosomal fragile sites. We discuss the expanding field of disease-associated TR instabilities, highlighting prospects, clinical and genetic clues, tools...
  2. ...the location of retroCNV parent genes and their insertion sites, with links colored based on the chromosome of the parent gene. (A) All recent retroCNVs identified in canids with no retroCNV-specific variants. (B) All retroCNVs of the GAP43 parent gene. (C) All retroCNVs present in a single Golden Retriever...
  3. ...the regulatory effects of disease-associated variants.Here, we report the reprogramming of 58 Yoruba lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) into iPSCs, of which 14 were further differentiated into cardiomyocytes. Previously, our group extensively studied gene regulatory variation in the Yoruba LCLs. The establishment...
  4. ...in recent disease association studies, as well as longer term history of our species including intercontinental migrations and founder events (see Wright 1969). Darwinian and platonic concepts of variation There are many ways to portray the degrees of genetic similarity and relationships among a set...
  5. ...and dominance coefficients (Glémin 2010). Accordingly, gBGC tracts are enriched in disease-associated polymorphisms (Capra et al. 2013), and W → S disease-causing mutations segregate at higher frequency than S → W mutations (Necsulea et al. 2011; Lachance and Tishkoff 2014). High rates of fixation...
  6. ...al. 2002). These regions tend to be hotspots of structural and copy number variants (CNVs) (Coe et al. 2014; Chaisson et al. 2015) that in aggregate affect a larger fraction of the than that affected by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (Conrad et al. 2010). CNVs have been associated...
  7. ...functional variants. We resequenced 575 amplicons within 432 individuals at genomic sites enriched for evolutionary constraint and also analyzed variation within three published human genomes. We find that single-site measures of evolutionary constraint derived from mammalian multiple sequence alignments...
  8. ...of the HLA class I region spanning the HLA-E-to-HLA-F interval by using yeast artificial chromosomes. Proc Natl Acad Sci 89: 2669–2673. doi:10.1073/pnas.89.7.2669 ↵Gough SCL, Simmonds MJ. 2007. The HLA region and autoimmune disease: associations and mechanisms of action. Curr Genomics 8: 453–465. doi:10...
  9. ...Zhao et al. 2010; Bacolla et al. 2011; Inagaki et al. 2013), at disease-associated genes (Kamat et al. 2016), and among genetic variants from the 1000 Genomes Project (Du et al. 2014). Because the effect of non-B DNA on mutagenesis is driven by both the inherent DNA sequence and polymerase fidelity...
  10. ...-allelic recombination (NAHR) or gene conversion within this array ( Fig. 2 ) ( Aldred et al. 2005 ). In native UK individuals, DEFA3 variant is absent in 10% of the population, and in sub-Saharan Africans (Yoruba), it is absent in 37% of the population. DEFA3 absence is associated with one SNP haplotype in Europeans...
