Digital genotyping of macrosatellites and multicopy genes reveals novel biological functions associated with copy number variation of large tandem repeats. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2014
Tandem repeats are common in eukaryotic genomes, but due to difficulties in assaying them remain poorly studied. Here, we demonstrate the utility of Nanostring technology as a targeted approach to perform accurate measurement of tandem repeats even at ...

Liver Mitochondrial DNA Copy Number and Deletion Levels May Contribute to Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Susceptibility

open access: yesHepatitis Monthly, 2016
Background There is growing evidence that deficiencies observed in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) functions could play an important role in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Expansion of the Parkinson disease-associated SNCA-Rep1 allele upregulates human alpha-synuclein in transgenic mouse brain. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Alpha-synuclein (SNCA) gene has been implicated in the development of rare forms of familial Parkinson disease (PD). Recently, it was shown that an increase in SNCA copy numbers leads to elevated levels of wild-type SNCA-mRNA and protein and is ...

Identification of chloroquine resistance Pfcrt-K76T and determination of Pfmdr1-N86Y copy number by SYBR Green I qPCR

open access: yesAsian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine, 2015
Objective: To identify prevalence of chloroquine resistance point mutation at (Pfcrt, K76T) and (Pfmdr1, N86Y) copy number variation. Methods: SYBR Green I based real time PCR was used. One hundred and thirty-three samples were analyzed for (Pfcrt, K76T)

LINE-1 Hypomethylation, DNA Copy Number Alterations, and CDK6 Amplification in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

open access: yesClinical Cancer Research, 2014
Purpose: Global DNA hypomethylation plays a crucial role in genomic instability and carcinogenesis. DNA methylation of the long interspersed nucleotide element-1, L1 (LINE-1) repetitive element is a good indicator of the global DNA methylation level, and

Stem-Like Adaptive Aneuploidy and Cancer Quasispecies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We analyze and reinterpret experimental evidence from the literature to argue for an ability of tumor cells to self-regulate their aneuploidy rate. We conjecture that this ability is mediated by a diversification factor that exploits molecular mechanisms

The use of ultra-dense array CGH analysis for the discovery of micro-copy number alterations and gene fusions in the cancer genome

open access: yesBMC Medical Genomics, 2011
Background Molecular alterations critical to development of cancer include mutations, copy number alterations (amplifications and deletions) as well as genomic rearrangements resulting in gene fusions. Massively parallel next generation sequencing, which

SInC: An accurate and fast error-model based simulator for SNPs, Indels and CNVs coupled with a read generator for short-read sequence data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We report SInC (SNV, Indel and CNV) simulator and read generator, an open-source tool capable of simulating biological variants taking into account a platform-specific error model. SInC is capable of simulating and generating single- and paired-end reads
