Spinocerebellar ataxia type 14 (SCA14) in an Argentinian family: a case report
Background Hereditary spinocerebellar ataxias are a group of genetic neurological disorders that result in degeneration of the cerebellum and brainstem, leading to difficulty in controlling balance and muscle coordination.

From Genomes to GENE-omes: Exome Sequencing Concept and Applications in Crop Improvement
Exome sequencing represents targeted capture and sequencing of 1–2% of ‘high-value genomic regions’ (subset of the genome) which are enriched for functional variants and harbors low level of repetitive regions.

Analysis of Archived Residual Newborn Screening Blood Spots After Whole Genome Amplification [PDF]
Deidentified newborn screening bloodspot samples (NBS) represent a valuable potential resource for genomic research if impediments to whole exome sequencing of NBS deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), including the small amount of genomic DNA in NBS material ...

Case report: targeted whole exome sequencing enables the first prenatal diagnosis of the lethal skeletal dysplasia Osteocraniostenosis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Osteocraniostenosis (OCS) is a rare genetic disorder characterised by premature closure of cranial sutures, gracile bones and perinatal lethality. Previously, diagnosis has only been possible postnatally on clinical and radiological features.

Detection of Somatic Copy Number Alterations in Cancer Using Targeted Exome Capture Sequencing
The research community at large is expending considerable resources to sequence the coding region of the genomes of tumors and other human diseases using targeted exome capture (i.e., “whole exome sequencing”).

Using linkage analysis of large pedigrees to guide association analyses [PDF]
To date, genome-wide association studies have yielded discoveries of common variants that partly explain familial aggregation of diseases and traits. Researchers are now turning their attention to less common variants because the price of sequencing has ...

Detecting identity by descent and homozygosity mapping in whole-exome sequencing data. [PDF]
The detection of genetic segments of Identical by Descent (IBD) in Genome-Wide Association Studies has proven successful in pinpointing genetic relatedness between reportedly unrelated individuals and leveraging such regions to shortlist candidate genes.
