Genome-Wide Detection of Copy Number Variations and Evaluation of Candidate Copy Number Polymorphism Genes Associated With Complex Traits of Pigs

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Copy number variation (CNV) has been considered to be an important source of genetic variation for important phenotypic traits of livestock. In this study, we performed whole-genome CNV detection on Suhuai (SH) (n = 23), Chinese Min Zhu (MZ) (n = 11 ...

Copy Number Variations in Neuropsychiatric Disorders

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
Neuropsychiatric disorders are complex conditions that represent a significant global health burden with complex and multifactorial etiologies. Technological advances in recent years have improved our understanding of the genetic architecture of the major neuropsychiatric disorders and the genetic loci involved.

Time after time – circadian clocks through the lens of oscillator theory

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Oscillator theory bridges physics and circadian biology. Damped oscillators require external drivers, while limit cycles emerge from delayed feedback and nonlinearities. Coupling enables tissue‐level coherence, and entrainment aligns internal clocks with environmental cues.

Copy Number Variation in Tourette Syndrome [PDF]

Neuron, 2017
In the current issue of Neuron, Huang et al. (2017) provide new insights from a consortium study of Tourette syndrome pinpointing copy number variations that are involved in the genomic architecture and implicate genes of interest.

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

Analysis of copy number variations of WNT4 gene in a Chinese population with Müllerian anomalies

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2021
Background To investigate the genetic contribution of copy number variations (CNVs) in Wingless-type MMTV integration site family, member 4 (WNT4), in a Chinese population with Müllerian anomalies (MA), copy number analysis of WNT4 by Multiplex ligation ...

An upstream open reading frame regulates expression of the mitochondrial protein Slm35 and mitophagy flux

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.

Mosaic copy number variation in schizophrenia [PDF]

European Journal of Human Genetics, 2013
Recent reports suggest that somatic structural changes occur in the human genome, but how these genomic alterations might contribute to disease is unknown. Using samples collected as part of the International Schizophrenia Consortium (schizophrenia, n=3518; control, n=4238) recruited across multiple university research centers, we assessed single ...

In situ molecular organization and heterogeneity of the Legionella Dot/Icm T4SS

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present a nearly complete in situ model of the Legionella Dot/Icm type IV secretion system, revealing its central secretion channel and identifying new components. Using cryo‐electron tomography with AI‐based modeling, our work highlights the structure, variability, and mechanism of this complex nanomachine, advancing understanding of bacterial ...

Copy number variation in Parkinson's disease [PDF]

Genome Medicine, 2010
A central theme of human genetic studies is to understand genomic variation and how this underlies the inherited basis of disease. Genomic variation can provide increased biological understanding of disease processes, which is necessary to develop future treatments.
