Analysis of mitochondrial control region DNA variation in New Zealand's brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula) : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Ecology at Massey University [PDF]

, 2001
Brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula) were first introduced from Australia to New Zealand in 1858 to establish a fur industry. Currently numbering more than 65 million, they are recognised as the most important mammalian pest in New Zealand, because ...

Natural polymorphism in the thrombospondin-related adhesive protein of Plasmodium falciparum [PDF]

, 1998
We have developed a typing system using natural sequence variation in the thrombospondin-related adhesive protein (TRAP) gene of Plasmodium falciparum. This method permits a haplotype to be assigned to any particular TRAP gene.

Pure Parsimony Xor Haplotyping [PDF]

IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, 2009
The haplotype resolution from xor-genotype data has been recently formulated as a new model for genetic studies. The xor-genotype data is a cheaply obtainable type of data distinguishing heterozygous from homozygous sites without identifying the homozygous alleles.

Phylogenomics reveals the evolution of floral traits associated with pollinators and pollinator–prey conflict within the carnivorous Pinguicula subgenus Temnoceras

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The carnivorous plant genus Pinguicula (Lentibulariaceae) exhibits remarkable floral diversity associated with pollination, particularly in the largest subgenus Temnoceras, which spans Mexico and Central America. Despite this diversity, the relationships between species and the evolution of key floral traits remain unresolved. Here, we

Long-range, high-throughput haplotype determination via haplotype-fusion PCR and ligation haplotyping [PDF]

Nucleic Acids Research, 2008
Ligation Haplotyping is a robust, novel method for experimental determination of haplotypes over long distances, which can be applied to assaying both sequence and structural variation. The simplicity and efficacy of the method for genotyping large chromosomal rearrangements and haplotyping SNPs over long distances make it a valuable and powerful ...

Schizophrenia Genetics Modulates Clinical Depressive Features

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Schizophrenia (SCZ) genetic liability, quantified by polygenic scores (PGS), may influence clinical phenotypes in major depressive disorder (MDD). We investigated the effect of the SCZ‐PGS derived from the latest SCZ genome‐wide association study (GWAS) on MDD symptom severity, comorbidities, and treatment outcomes.

Demography and the age of rare variants

, 2014
Large whole-genome sequencing projects have provided access to much of the rare variation in human populations, which is highly informative about population structure and recent demography. Here, we show how the age of rare variants can be estimated from

Haplotype inference for present–absent genotype data using previously identified haplotypes and haplotype patterns [PDF]

Bioinformatics, 2007
AbstractMotivation: Killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) genes vary considerably in their presence or absence on a specific regional haplotype. Because presence or absence of these genes is largely detected using locus-specific genotyping technology, the distinction between homozygosity and hemizygosity is often ambiguous.

Identification of Compound Heterozygous CYP11A1 Variants via Reanalysis of Clinical Sequencing Data

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A molecular diagnosis is currently achievable in approximately 50% of patients assessed by clinical geneticists at tertiary care centres. Next‐Generation Sequencing Panels contain a defined group of genes associated with a clinically defined set of phenotypes.
