The Structure of Haplotype Blocks in the Human Genome

open access: yesScience, 2002
Haplotype-based methods offer a powerful approach to disease gene mapping, based on the association between causal mutations and the ancestral haplotypes on which they arose.

Spectral concepts in genome informational analysis [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
The concept of k-spectrum for genomes is here investigated as a basic tool to analyze genomes. Related spectral notions based on k-mers are introduced with some related mathematical properties which are relevant for informational analysis of genomes.

Adaptive Evolution of Conserved Noncoding Elements in Mammals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Conserved noncoding elements (CNCs) are an abundant feature of vertebrate genomes. Some CNCs have been shown to act as cis-regulatory modules, but the function of most CNCs remains unclear.

BoostMe accurately predicts DNA methylation values in whole-genome bisulfite sequencing of multiple human tissues

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2018
Background Bisulfite sequencing is widely employed to study the role of DNA methylation in disease; however, the data suffer from biases due to coverage depth variability.

Merqury: reference-free quality, completeness, and phasing assessment for genome assemblies

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2020
Recent long-read assemblies often exceed the quality and completeness of available reference genomes, making validation challenging. Here we present Merqury, a novel tool for reference-free assembly evaluation based on efficient k-mer set operations.

Genome dynamics of the human embryonic kidney 293 lineage in response to cell biology manipulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The HEK293 human cell lineage is widely used in cell biology and biotechnology. Here we use whole-genome resequencing of six 293 cell lines to study the dynamics of this aneuploid genome in response to the manipulations used to generate common 293 cell ...

Gender And The Human Genome

open access: yesMens 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

The Human Genome Project [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Society of Medicine, 2005
On 14 April 2003 the US Human Genome Research Institute announced that scientists had just clipped into place the very last piece in the colossal jigsaw of human DNA. The next day's newspapers reminded us that, whilst it was early days yet, a host of diseases from eczema to dementia could one day be history.

Potential etiologic and functional implications of genome-wide association loci for human diseases and traits

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2009
We have developed an online catalog of SNP-trait associations from published genome-wide association studies for use in investigating genomic characteristics of trait/disease-associated SNPs (TASs). Reported TASs were common [median risk allele frequency

Mapping the human genome

open access: yesThe 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 ...
