Genomic Sequences Reveal that Polar Bears Are an Old and Distinct Bear Lineage»
Not exact matches
Age - related variations in DNA methylation were analyzed by deep
sequencing technology, which
revealed distinct patterns, with gains in methylation in older individuals occurring at
genomic sites that were unmethylated in young individuals, and vice versa.
In a study that included children and young adults with relapsed or refractory cancer, incorporation of integrative clinical
genomic sequencing data into clinical management was feasible,
revealed potentially actionable findings in nearly half of the patients, and was associated with change in treatment and family genetics counseling for a small proportion of patients, according to a study in the September 1 issue of JAMA.
Recently, cultivation - independent
sequencing methods have produced a wealth of
genomic data for previously unidentified archaeal lineages, several of which appear to represent newly
revealed branches in the tree of life.
Many researchers now believe that real advances in
genomics will come not from simple X-causes-Y correlations but from a rich statistical understanding that emerges out of the
sequences of millions of genomes — a set that
reveals how our genetic code is likely to interact with the environment to make us who we are.
Genomic sequencing experts at Johns Hopkins partnered with pharmacologists at Stony Brook University to
reveal a striking mutational signature of upper urinary tract cancers caused by aristolochic acid, a plant compound contained in herbal remedies used for thousands of years to treat a variety of ailments such as arthritis, gout and inflammation.
Comparative
genomics based on massive parallel transcriptome
sequencing reveals patterns of substitution and selection across 10 bird species
Analysis of
genomic, epigenetic, and RNA
sequencing data
revealed that the combinations of mutations that lowered the levels of functioning BRCA1 and BRCA2 RNA — genes that produce the breast cancer tumor suppressor proteins — were associated with significantly better survival outcomes.
The results, published in the journal Nature Biotechnology,
reveal that the small, accessible and cost effective technology could revolutionize
genomic sequencing.
The unusually high death rate (83 %) makes titi monkeys unlikely to be natural hosts for TMAdV, and the
genomic sequence of TMAdV
revealed that it is very different from any other known adenovirus.
Genomic signatures
reveal some of the evolutionary forces acting on a particular genetic
sequence — or the entire genome.
In yeast and Caenorhabditis elegans, the majority of ORFs
revealed by
genomic sequencing have not been associated with mutant phenotypes, even in
genomic regions that have been subjected to saturation mutagenesis (36 - 37).
Genomic sequencing of the isolated virus
revealed that it is closely related to Tembusu virus (a mosquito - borne Ntaya group flavivirus), with 87 — 91 % nucleotide identity of the partial E (envelope) proteins to that of Tembusu virus and 72 % of the entire genome coding
sequence with Bagaza virus, the most closely related flavivirus with an entirely
sequenced genome.
Comparative analysis enabled by the
sequencing of the sponge genome
reveals genomic events linked to the origin and early evolution of animals, including the appearance, expansion and diversification of pan-metazoan transcription factor, signalling pathway and structural genes.
Although the diversity of sponges and their uncertain phylogeny make it doubtful that any single species can
reveal the intricacies of early animal evolution, comparison of the A. queenslandica draft genome with
sequences from other species can provide a conservative estimate of the genome of the common ancestor of all animals and the timing and nature of the
genomic events that led to the origin and early evolution of animal lineages.
Analysis of viral
genomic and human mitochondrial
sequences revealed that all previously characterized XMRV strains are identical and that the archival RNA had been contaminated by an XMRV - infected laboratory cell line.
The 97 - megabase
genomic sequence of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans
reveals over 19,000 genes.
In the postgenomic era, the availability of human genome
sequence for genome - wide analysis has
revealed higher - order architectural features (i.e., beyond primary
sequence information) that may cause
genomic instability and susceptibility to
genomic rearrangements.
Next - generation medical imaging and
genomic sequencing have all helped to
reveal that some foods are neuroprotective, literally shielding the brain from harm and supporting cognitive fitness over the course of a lifetime.
