After looking at 9 million genetic variants in those who were asparagus anosmic, they linked this deficiency to 871
individual sequence variations they discovered in chromosome 1, on genes associated with our sense of smell.

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.
The genetic
variation of
individual DNA
sequences in a population is called its genetic diversity.
GenProfile focuses on the systematic analysis of DNA
sequence variation in biomedically relevant genes in order to identify those variants, or combinations of variants (gene profiles), that determine an
individual's genetic risk for disease, predict individually different drug response, and ultimately pave the way to a personalized medicine.
Through whole - genome
sequencing of
individual egg cells, the new method detects chromosomal abnormalities and DNA
sequence variations associated with genetic disorders.
Professor Segal's research has two major directions 1) Gene regulation — using quantitative and computational models to understand how DNA
sequence variation among human
individuals generates phenotypic diversity 2) Microbiome and Nutrition — understanding how the microbial composition of
individuals affect their physiology and health.
The ever - increasing throughput of
sequencing platforms has resulted in the ability to easily identify and genotype thousands of SNPs across numerous
individuals to uncover genetic
variation among and within populations.
deCODE has identified key
variations in the
sequence of the genome conferring increased risk of major public health challenges from cardiovascular disease to cancer, and employs its gene discovery engine to develop DNA - based tests to assess
individual risk of common diseases; to license its tests and intellectual property to partners; and to provide comprehensive, leading - edge contract services to companies and research institutions around the globe.
The resulting datasets of regulatory genomic
sequence will provide a valuable resource in determining how non-coding DNA
sequence variation may impact an
individual's capacity to drive appropriate gene expression.
A single DNA
sequence is formed from a chain of four nucleotide bases and if some
individuals in a population do not carry the same nucleotide at a specific position in the
sequence, the
variation is classified as an SNP.
The research community can explore and familiarize themselves with the quality of these data sets, review the data formats provided from our
sequencing service, and augment their own research with additional summaries of genomic
variation across a panel of diverse
individuals.
Most of that is by design: the 1,000 Genomes Project generated and made available
sequence data for more than 1,000
individuals in an effort to further characterize human genetic
variation.
These advances are based on the accumulation of genome
sequencing data on thousands of
individuals, which have revealed common patterns of genetic
variation in Europe and have enabled detailed statistical analyses of genetic factors that determine resistance and susceptibility to specific diseases.

variation in gene expression creates a need for techniques that can characterize expression at the level of
individual cells
By utilizing paired genome - wide high - throughput DNA
sequencing (DNA - seq) with RNA - seq, we found that gene dosage, at the level of
individual genes or chromosomal «somy» (a general term covering disomy, trisomy, tetrasomy, etc.), accounted for greater than 85 % of total gene expression
variation in genes with a 2-fold or greater change in expression.
Identification of cis - regulatory
sequence variations in

sequences.
The focus of the conference was connecting how epigenetics (cellular and physiological phenotypic trait
variations that are caused by external or environmental factors that switch genes on and off and affect how cells read genes instead of being caused by changes in the DNA
sequence — in other words nutrition and lifestyle choices) impact whether or not an
individual actually develops a specific health issue even though they have a SNP mutation.
This study will test the hypothesis that much of the morphological
variation between
individuals is due to a specific type of mutation that involves repeated
sequences in genes.
We used
sequence variation in the mitochondrial COI gene to ask (i) whether cyamid population structures might reveal associations among right whale
individuals and subpopulations, (ii) whether the divergences of the three nominally conspecific cyamid species on North Atlantic, North Pacific, and southern right whales (Euba.laena glac.ialis, Eubal.aena jap.onica, Euba.laena aust.ralis) might indicate their times of separation, and (iii) whether the shapes of cyamid gene trees might contain information about changes in the population sizes of right whales....
