Ebolaviruscomparative genomics [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2015
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) The 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa is the largest documented for this virus. To examine the dynamics of this genome, we compare more than 100 currently available ebolavirus genomes to each other and to other viral genomes.

Comparative genomics approaches accurately predict deleterious variants in plants [PDF]

, 2017
Recent advances in genome resequencing have led to increased interest in prediction of the functional consequences of genetic variants. Variants at phylogenetically conserved sites are of particular interest, because they are more likely than variants at

Comparative genomic hybridization

Annual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics, 2005
▪ Abstract  Altering DNA copy number is one of the many ways that gene expression and function may be modified. Some variations are found among normal individuals ( 14 , 35 , 103 ), others occur in the course of normal processes in some species ( 33 ), and still others participate in causing various disease states.

Mitochondrial genome of bronze-winged jacana (Metopidius indicus, Latham 1790)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
We reported the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of bronze-winged jacana (Metopidius indicus, Latham ). The circular mitogenome was 17,208 base pairs (bp) in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, and a non-coding control ...

RNA-Seq and iTRAQ reveal multiple pathways involved in storage root formation and development in sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.)

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is the sixth most important food crop in the world. The formation and development of storage roots in sweet potato is a highly complicated and genetically programmed process. However, the underlying mechanisms

Antisense Oligonucleotide-Mediated Terminal Intron Retention of the SMN2 Transcript

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2018
The severe childhood disease spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) arises from the homozygous loss of the survival motor neuron 1 gene (SMN1). A homologous gene potentially encoding an identical protein, SMN2 can partially compensate for the loss of SMN1 ...
