The identification of the MTHFR SNP has significantly highlighted the role of methylation. MTHFR, the key enzyme in the methyl cycle, activates folate for converting homocysteine to methionine. Specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or gene variants can reduce the enzyme's capacity. MTHFR var...
The advent of large-scale genomic data has proved crucial to furthering know- ledge of the evolution of humankind and subsequent diffusion out of Africa. The recently published HapMap Phase II harbours over three million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) typed in four distinct human ...
Extension: The temperature is raised to the optimum working temperature of the polymerase enzyme, which then makes a complementary copy of the DNA sequence of interest. One such repetition or 'thermal cycle' theoretically doubles the amount of the DNA sequence of interest present in the reaction....
I am hardly alone in my curiosity. Many people are sending their spit to testing companies so that they can learn about their origins. The science behind genetic genealogy is young, but growing fast. A couple decades ago, researchers could only compare one gene in different people to see ho...
I recently used Dante to obtain a WGS and have downloaded several files produced during this process. There is a file that ends '.vcf' which I did think was a VCF file but I'm not sure now after a previous question. Part of that file is included below. Its about 1.1GB in size. ...
STRUCTURE and ADMIXTURE estimate both the ancestral gene frequencies and the admixture proportions for each individual in the sample. badMIXTURE assumes that the admixture proportions estimated by STRUCTURE and ADMIXURE are correct and uses matrix factorisation to find the combination of ancestral palettes...
Studies suggest that adiposity in childhood may reduce the risk of breast cancer in later life. The biological mechanism underlying this effect is unclear but is likely to be independent of body size in adulthood. Using a Mendelian randomization framewor
