Mapping the human genome

The Hastings Center Report, 1989
The following pages aim to lay a foundation for understanding the excitement surrounding the ''human genome project,'' as well as to convey a flavor of the ongoing efforts and plans at the Human Genome Center at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. Our own work, of course, is only part of a broad international effort that will dramatically enhance our ...

Gender And The Human Genome

Mens Sana Monographs, 2009
GENDER ISSUES ARISE IN RELATION TO THE HUMAN GENOME ACROSS A NUMBER OF DIMENSIONS: the level of attention given to the nuclear genome as opposed to the mitochondrial; the level of basic scientific research; decision-making in the clinic related to both reproductive decision-making on the one hand, and diagnostic and predictive testing on the other; and

Comparative genomic analyses reveal a lack of a substantial signature of host adaptation in Rhodococcus equi (‘Prescottella equi’) [PDF]

, 2013
Rhodococcus equi (‘Prescottella equi’) is a pathogenic actinomycete primarily infecting horses but has emerged as an opportunistic human pathogen. We have sequenced the genome of the type strain of this species, R.

Nucleotide Frequencies in Human Genome and Fibonacci Numbers [PDF]

, 2006
This work presents a mathematical model that establishes an interesting connection between nucleotide frequencies in human single-stranded DNA and the famous Fibonacci's numbers. The model relies on two assumptions.

Chromosome 9p terminal deletion in nine Egyptian patients and narrowing of the critical region for trigonocephaly

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2021
Background This study aimed to delineate the clinical phenotype of patients with 9p deletions, pinpoint the chromosomal breakpoints, and identify the critical region for trigonocephaly, which is a frequent finding in 9p terminal deletion.

The drifting human genome [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007
Around the time of the completion of the draft human genome sequence, biologists heatedly debated the number of genes contained in the human genome. In 2003, GeneSweep, an informal gene-count betting pool that began at the 2000 Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Genome Meeting, announced Lee Rowen of the Institute of Systems Biology in Seattle to be the ...

Measuring microsatellite conservation in mammalian evolution with a phylogenetic birth-death model. [PDF]

, 2012
Microsatellites make up ∼3% of the human genome, and there is increasing evidence that some microsatellites can have important functions and can be conserved by selection.

Substrate Nucleotide-Determined Non-Templated Addition of Adenine by Taq DNA Polymerase: Implications for PCR-Based Genotyping and Cloning

BioTechniques, 1996
The Applied Biosystems PRISMTM fluorescence-based genotyping system as well as the Invitrogen TA Cloning® vector system are influenced by the tendency of Taq DNA polymerase to add an adenine nucleotide to the 3′ end of PCR products after extension ...

Progressive pulmonary fibrosis in a murine model of Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome

Respiratory Research, 2022
Background HPS-1 is a genetic type of Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) with highly penetrant pulmonary fibrosis (HPSPF), a restrictive lung disease that is similar to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

Human Social Genomics

PLoS Genetics, 2014
A growing literature in human social genomics has begun to analyze how everyday life circumstances influence human gene expression. Social-environmental conditions such as urbanity, low socioeconomic status, social isolation, social threat, and low or unstable social status have been found to associate with differential expression of hundreds of gene ...
