Optimizing the identification of risk-relevant mutations by multigene panel testing in selected hereditary breast/ovarian cancer families [PDF]
The introduction of multigene panel testing for hereditary breast/ovarian cancer screening has greatly improved efficiency, speed, and costs. However, its clinical utility is still debated, mostly due to the lack of conclusive evidences on the impact of ...

Complete genome sequence of Planctomyces limnophilus type strain (Mü 290). [PDF]
Planctomyces limnophilus Hirsch and Müller 1986 belongs to the order Planctomycetales, which differs from other bacterial taxa by several distinctive features such as internal cell compartmentalization, multiplication by forming buds directly from the ...

Molecular bases of insect odorant receptor function: specificity and evolution
ABSTRACT Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are a class of chemoreceptors that insects use to detect volatile cues in their environment. In recent years, major advances in the field of structural biology have made it possible to obtain the first structures of insect ORs.

Predicting protein function with hierarchical phylogenetic profiles: The Gene3D phylo-tuner method applied to eukaryotic Genomes [PDF]
"Phylogenetic profiling'' is based on the hypothesis that during evolution functionally or physically interacting genes are likely to be inherited or eliminated in a codependent manner.

Advantages of Exome Sequencing Over Panel Testing for Individuals With a Seizure Indication
ABSTRACT Objective Our aim was to investigate the advantages of exome sequencing versus panel testing for patients with unexplained seizures. Methods We reviewed the diagnostic outcomes of exome sequencing by a commercial genetics laboratory for more than 16 000 individuals with a clinical history of seizures or suspected seizures.

A Novel SPAST/SPG4 Splice-Site Variant in a Family with Dominant Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia
Some causes of spastic paraplegia are treatable and many are not. Diagnostic work-up to determine the etiology can be costly and invasive. Here we report the case of a man with slowly progressive spastic paraparesis.

Plasmodium vivax-like genome sequences shed new insights into Plasmodium vivax biology and evolution [PDF]
Although Plasmodium vivax is responsible for the majority of malaria infections outside Africa, little is known about its evolution and pathway to humans. Its closest genetic relative, P.
