De novo non-synonymous TBL1XR1 mutation alters Wnt signaling activity [PDF]
Here we report de novo non-synonymous single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) by conducting whole exome sequencing of 18 trios consisting of Japanese patients with sporadic schizophrenia and their parents.

A multispecies approach for comparing sequence evolution of X-linked and autosomal sites in Drosophila [PDF]
Population genetics models show that, under certain conditions, the X chromosome is expected to be under more efficient selection than the autosomes.

PredDSMC: A predictor for driver synonymous mutations in human cancers
Introduction: Driver mutations play a critical role in the occurrence and development of human cancers. Most studies have focused on missense mutations that function as drivers in cancer.

Background von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is a familial neoplasia syndrome that results from the germline mutation of VHL. Pathogenic VHL mutations include deletion, frameshift, nonsense and missense mutations.

Reduced efficacy of selection in regions of the Drosophila genome that lack crossing over [PDF]
The recombinational environment is predicted to influence patterns of protein sequence evolution through the effects of Hill-Robertson interference among linked sites subject to selection.

Somatic synonymous mutations in regulatory elements contribute to the genetic aetiology of melanoma
Background Non-synonymous mutations altering tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes are widely studied. However, synonymous mutations, which do not alter the protein sequence, are rarely investigated in melanoma genome studies. Methods We explored the role

Synonymous genes explore different evolutionary landscapes. [PDF]
The evolutionary potential of a gene is constrained not only by the amino acid sequence of its product, but by its DNA sequence as well. The topology of the genetic code is such that half of the amino acids exhibit synonymous codons that can reach ...

Bayesian Estimation of Nonsynonymous/Synonymous Rate Ratios for Pairwise Sequence Comparisons [PDF]
The nonsynonymous/synonymous rate ratio (ω = dN/dS) is an important measure of the mode and strength of natural selection acting on nonsynonymous mutations in protein-coding genes. The simplest such analysis is the estimation of the dN/dS ratio using two

Mutation testing on an object-oriented framework: An experience report [PDF]
This is the preprint version of the article - Copyright @ 2011 ElsevierContext The increasing presence of Object-Oriented (OO) programs in industrial systems is progressively drawing the attention of mutation researchers toward this paradigm.
