Throughout their lifetime, fish maintain a high capacity for regenerating complex tissues after injury. We utilized a larval tail regeneration assay in the zebrafish Danio rerio, which serves as an ideal model of appendage regeneration due to its easy ...

Transposable element insertions have strongly affected human evolution [PDF]
Comparison of a full collection of the transposable element (TE) sequences of vertebrates with genome sequences shows that the human genome makes 655 perfect full-length matches.

Phenotypic variance explained by local ancestry in admixed African Americans
We surveyed 26 quantitative traits and disease outcomes to understand the proportion of phenotypic variance explained by local ancestry in admixed African Americans. After inferring local ancestry as the number of African-ancestry chromosomes at hundreds

Genomics and human diversity [PDF]
The sequencing of the human genome (2003) has been followed by a number of technical developments that allow detailed characterization (including complete sequencing) of the DNA of thousands of individuals. This has provided an estimate of human genetic diversity: approx. 3 million base substitutions within our genome that includes 3,000 million bases.

Complete Genome Sequence of a Divergent Human Rhinovirus C Isolate from an Infant with Severe Community-Acquired Pneumonia in Colorado, USA. [PDF]
Here, we report the genome sequence of a divergent human rhinovirus C isolate identified from an infant with a severe community-acquired respiratory infection. RNA sequencing performed on an Illumina platform identified reads aligning to human rhinovirus

Genome-wide detection of segmental duplications and potential assembly errors in the human genome sequence [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have suggested that recent segmental duplications, which are often involved in chromosome rearrangements underlying genomic disease, account for some 5% of the human genome.

PU.1 is a master regulator of myeloid development but its role in disease-relevant neutrophils is not well known. Here, the authors look at primary neutrophils from a human population and find that genetic variants affecting binding of PU.1 are ...

Genome maps across 26 human populations reveal population-specific patterns of structural variation. [PDF]
Large structural variants (SVs) in the human genome are difficult to detect and study by conventional sequencing technologies. With long-range genome analysis platforms, such as optical mapping, one can identify large SVs (>2 kb) across the genome in ...

From metagenomics to the metagenome: Conceptual change and the rhetoric of translational genomic research [PDF]
As the international genomic research community moves from the tool-making efforts of the Human Genome Project into biomedical applications of those tools, new metaphors are being suggested as useful to understanding how our genes work – and for ...
