Profiling allele-specific gene expression in brains from individuals with autism spectrum disorder reveals preferential minor allele usage. [PDF]
One fundamental but understudied mechanism of gene regulation in disease is allele-specific expression (ASE), the preferential expression of one allele.

Mapping the genetic architecture of gene expression in human liver [PDF]
Genetic variants that are associated with common human diseases do not lead directly to disease, but instead act on intermediate, molecular phenotypes that in turn induce changes in higher-order disease traits.

Genotyping of SNPs in a Polyploid Genome by Pyrosequencing™ [PDF]
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most frequent DNA sequence variations, and they have become increasingly popular markers for association studies. Allelic discrimination of the mostly binary SNPs has been reported for diploid species, mainly the human, but not for polyploid genomes such as the agriculturally important crops.

Genomic Analysis Using Bayesian Methods under Different Genotyping Platforms in Korean Duroc Pigs
Genomic evaluation has been widely applied to several species using commercial single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping platforms. This study investigated the informative genomic regions and the efficiency of genomic prediction by using two ...

Using GWAS Data to Identify Copy Number Variants Contributing to Common Complex Diseases
Copy number variants (CNVs) account for more polymorphic base pairs in the human genome than do single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). CNVs encompass genes as well as noncoding DNA, making these polymorphisms good candidates for functional variation ...

Improved Imputation of Common and Uncommon Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) with a New Reference Set [PDF]
Statistical imputation of genotype data is an important technique for analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS). We have built a reference dataset to improve imputation accuracy for studies of individuals of primarily European descent using ...

Conflicting Results in SNP Genotype Assessment
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are highly abundant in the genome and especially useful in the search for disease susceptibility genes via population-based association or linkage studies. Therefore, there is a strong need for high throughput and reliable methodologies to assess the SNP genotypes. Despite an unambiguous result of an SNP analysis,

Comparison of TaqMan, KASP and rhAmp SNP genotyping platforms in hexaploid wheat.
Advances in high-throughput genotyping enable the generation of genome-scale data much more easily and at lower cost than ever before. However, small-scale and cost-effective high-throughput single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping technologies ...

High-throughput genotyping of single nucleotide polymorphisms with rolling circle amplification
Background Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the foundation of powerful complex trait and pharmacogenomic analyses. The availability of large SNP databases, however, has emphasized a need for inexpensive SNP genotyping methods of commensurate ...
