“snips”) are single base-pair changes in DNA that occur at specific places in the genome. For example, most individuals carry the C nucleotide at a specific base position in the genome, but in a minority of individuals this is replaced by an A...
genome, or gene expression assays to the transcriptome. A web-based tool that can be used in verification of coordinates is the UCSC Genome Browser In Silico PCR utility at: genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgPcr. It is also important to make sure that amplicons are a...
Dark DNA is the genetic code in the human genome that currently has no known original source. We have traced 8% of the human genome to viruses. 1-2% of our genome comes from other animals. Believe it or not you share 55% of your genetic code with a banana – and that’s not just...

they are typically defined as SNVs that occur in >1% of the population. Based on the number of SNPs cataloged in the SNP database (dbSNP) [1] and a haploid genome size of 3.1 x 109 bp [2], the human genome should contain a SNP approximately once every 9.5 bases. Other common mode...
This is another domain that is exclusively deploying the big data applications at scale in order to unravel the mysteries of the human medical condition, the right mode of treatment depending on the patient medical history and other conditions. Mapping the human genome is a big application of big...
This section provides a quick introduction of gene, which is a section of a double helix DNA structure that contains a specific sequence of base pairs representing a specific coded instruction to construct building blocks for living organisms.©...
How is DNA sequenced? DNA sequencing involves technology that allows researchers to determine the order of bases in a section of DNA. The technology can be used to determine the order of bases in genes, chromosomes or an entire genome. In 2000, researchers completed a "working draft" sequence...
"Given the size of the specimen and the severity of the mutations ... it seems likely the specimen was a preterm birth," wrote the scientists in their 2018 Genome Research paper. Broken Laws and the Ethics of Science In more ways than one, this skeleton is on the young side. She's...
