Precision targeting tumor cells using cancer-specific InDel mutations with CRISPR-Cas9

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2022
Significance The targeted killing of cancer cells without affecting surrounding normal cells is the most desirable approach for cancer therapy; however, it cannot be easily achieved, owing to the shared properties of normal and cancer cells.

The dynamic landscape of BRCA1 reversion mutations from indel to SNV in a patient with ovarian cancer treated with PARP-inhibitors and immunotherapy

open access: yesHeliyon, 2020
Background: Reversion mutations of somatic BRCA mutations are an important source of resistance within ovarian cancer. Furthermore, these reversion mutations are known to change over the course of treatment. Better understanding of the mechanisms leading

Important role of indels in somatic mutations of human cancer genes [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Medical Genetics, 2010
Abstract Background Cancer is clonal proliferation that arises owing to mutations in a subset of genes that confer growth advantage. More and more cancer related genes are found to have accumulated somatic mutations. However, little has been reported about mutational patterns of insertions/deletions (indels) in these ...

A method to build extended sequence context models of point mutations and indels [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
AbstractThe mutation rate of a specific position in the human genome depends on the sequence context surrounding it. Modeling the mutation rate by estimating a rate for each possible k-mer, however, only works for small values of k since the data becomes too sparse for larger values of k.

Exploration of Genetic Variants within the Goat A-Kinase Anchoring Protein 12 (AKAP12) Gene and Their Effects on Growth Traits

open access: yesAnimals, 2021
The A-kinase anchoring protein 12 gene (AKAP12) is a scaffold protein, which can target multiple signal transduction effectors, can promote mitosis and cytokinesis and plays an important role in the regulation of growth and development.

BATCH-GE : batch analysis of next-generation sequencing data for genome editing assessment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Targeted mutagenesis by the CRISPR/Cas9 system is currently revolutionizing genetics. The ease of this technique has enabled genome engineering in-vitro and in a range of model organisms and has pushed experimental dimensions to unprecedented proportions.

Fast neutron mutagenesis in soybean enriches for small indels and creates frameshift mutations [PDF]

open access: yesG3 Genes|Genomes|Genetics, 2021
Abstract The mutagenic effects of ionizing radiation have been used for decades to create novel variants in experimental populations. Fast neutron (FN) bombardment as a mutagen has been especially widespread in plants, with extensive reports describing the induction of large structural variants, i.e., deletions, insertions, inversions ...

A 31-bp indel in the 5′ UTR region of GNB1L is significantly associated with chicken body weight and carcass traits

open access: yesBMC Genetics, 2020
Background G-protein subunit beta 1 like (GNB1L) encodes a G-protein beta-subunit-like polypeptide. Chicken GNB1L is upregulated in the breast muscle of high feed efficiency chickens, and its expression is 1.52-fold that in low feed efficiency chickens ...

VarDict: a novel and versatile variant caller for next-generation sequencing in cancer research [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Accurate variant calling in next generation sequencing (NGS) is critical to understand cancer genomes better. Here we present VarDict, a novel and versatile variant caller for both DNA- and RNA-sequencing data.

Analysis of Prolactin Gene Exon 4 Diversity in Peking, White Mojosari, and Peking White Mojosari Crossbreed

open access: yesMedia Peternakan, 2016
Genetic marker linked to loci reproductive traits could be used to increase an effectiveness of improvement in animal breeding. Association between DNA polymorphism and a trait could be considered as candidate genetic marker for marker assisted selection
