Genetic recombination is targeted towards gene promoter regions in dogs. [PDF]
The identification of the H3K4 trimethylase, PRDM9, as the gene responsible for recombination hotspot localization has provided considerable insight into the mechanisms by which recombination is initiated in mammals.

Altered chromatin landscape and 3D interactions associated with primary constitutional MLH1 epimutations [PDF]
Background Lynch syndrome (LS), characterised by an increased risk for cancer, is mainly caused by germline pathogenic variants affecting a mismatch repair gene (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2).

Genetic variability in the precore and core promoter regions of hepatitis B virus strains in Karachi [PDF]
Background Hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes have distinct geographic distribution. Moreover, much genetic variability has been described in the precore (PC) and basal core promoter (BCP) regions of the HBV genome.

Genetic effect of an InDel in the promoter region of the NUDT15 and its effect on myoblast proliferation in chickens [PDF]
Abstract Background Molecular breeding accelerates the speed of animal breeding. Screening molecular markers that can affect economic traits through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) can provide a theoretical basis for molecular breeding.

Genetic variant in theHSPB1 promoter region impairs the HSP27 stress response [PDF]
The 27 kDa heat shock protein 1 (HSP27) is a member of the ubiquitously expressed small heat shock protein family and has pleiotropic cytoprotective functions. Since HSP27 may act as a motor neuron survival factor, we analyzed the genetic contribution of the human HSPB1 gene (HSPB1) to the etiology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In a cohort of

Epigenetic transgenerational actions of vinclozolin on promoter regions of the sperm epigenome. [PDF]
Previous observations have demonstrated that embryonic exposure to the endocrine disruptor vinclozolin during gonadal sex determination promotes transgenerational adult onset disease such as male infertility, kidney disease, prostate disease, immune ...

Clinical Implications of Genetic Variation in the Serotonin Transporter Promoter Region [PDF]
To determine the state of the art in understanding the role of genetic variation in the serotonin transporter (5-HTT) promoter region (5-HTTLPR) in the development of a depressive episode and in its response to treatment.PubMed and Ovid were used to search for articles published prior to December 2007 utilizing the key words serotonin transporter, 5 ...
