Can target enrichment be customized to gene fusions and SNPs? Can Twist design custom panels for Targeted Methylation (Bisulfite) Sequencing? What is the Custom Panel Submission Tool? What types of designs are supported? How do I start a new panel design? Where can I find my TE number or ...
Choosing the right species within which to compare sequences depends largely on the question you want to answer. When making a phylogeny of a gene, it is often of interest to find out which conserved or functional domains of the gene were present in the ancestral species, and most of the ...
That last has been a big problem as researchers were hoping to find single or a few genes of big effect on traits of interest such as intelligence. Hundreds of studies reported such findings, and media headlines were rife with claims of “gene for X found!”. This came crashing down with...
Some SNPs, however, can make a huge difference in our health—and in our personality, as well. For example, SNPs in the MTHFR gene can create a whole host of health problems—everything from irritability and obsessiveness to birth defects and cancer can be a result of an MTHFR gene mutati...
used in a potential infectious disease outbreak for large scale, inexpensive testing. CRISPR diagnostics embedded with gene circuits are also being developed to make them more sensitive. miRNA detection using CRISPR diagnostics is another area of research, which would find applications in cancer...
We also investigated SNPs that specifically influence gene activity in the brain. We were able to identify 25 of these Neandertal-derived expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs), as they are known, that were overrepresented in our autism groups. For example, about 80 percent of white Hispanic...
How do the changes in genes for natural selection happen/occur? Describe how gene flow, mutation, nonrandom mating and natural selection can cause microevolution. Define each as needed. Explain how truly altruistic phenotypes would be expected to disappear from a population as a conseque...
Only to find out, with your help and others, that’s not always the case. So this is why I invited you to give us all a bit of insight into the scientific process. Would you mind introducing yourself and telling us a bit more about your experience in the scientific world...
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 ...
