Selection of a Minimal Number of Significant Porcine SNPs by an Information Gain and Genetic Algorithm Hybrid Model [PDF]
A panel of large number of common Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) distributed across an entire porcine genome has been widely used to represent genetic variability of pig. With the advent of SNP-array technology, a genome-wide genetic profile of a specimen can be easily observed.

Investigations into the molecular effects of single nucleotide polymorphism [PDF]
Objectives: DNA sequences are very rich in short repeats and their pattern can be altered by point mutations. We wanted to investigate the effect of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) on the pattern of short DNA repeats and its biological consequences.

Genomic duplications are important sources of structural change and gene innovation. In humans, the most recent and highly identical sequences (>90% homology, >1 kb long) are known as segmental duplications (SDs). Single-nucleotide variants or single-nucleotide polymorphisms within SDs have not been systematically assessed due to limitations around ...

Estimating Effects and Making Predictions from Genome-Wide Marker Data [PDF]
In genome-wide association studies (GWAS), hundreds of thousands of genetic markers (SNPs) are tested for association with a trait or phenotype. Reported effects tend to be larger in magnitude than the true effects of these markers, the so-called ...

High Prevalence of Clostridioides difficile Ribotype 176 in the University Hospital in Kosice
Dysbiosis of the gut microbiota, caused by antibiotics, plays a key role in the establishment of Clostridioides difficile CD). Toxin-producing strains are involved in the pathogenesis of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), one of the most common ...

Testing SNPs and sets of SNPs for importance in association studies [PDF]
A major goal of genetic association studies concerned with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is the detection of SNPs exhibiting an impact on the risk of developing a disease. Typically, this problem is approached by testing each of the SNPs individually.

Joint analysis of SNP and gene expression data in genetic association studies of complex diseases [PDF]
Genetic association studies have been a popular approach for assessing the association between common Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) and complex diseases. However, other genomic data involved in the mechanism from SNPs to disease, for example, gene expressions, are usually neglected in these association studies.

Forensic SNP genotyping using nanopore MinION sequencing [PDF]
One of the latest developments in next generation sequencing is the Oxford Nanopore Technologies' (ONT) MinION nanopore sequencer. We studied the applicability of this system to perform forensic genotyping of the forensic female DNA standard 9947 A using

Genome-wide SNP typing of ancient DNA: Determination of hair and eye color of Bronze Age humans from their skeletal remains. [PDF]
Objective A genome-wide high-throughput single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) typing method was tested with respect of the applicability to ancient and degraded DNA. The results were compared to mini-sequencing data achieved through single base extension (
