Assexon: Assembling Exon Using Gene Capture Data

Covalent Capture of Aligned Self-Assembling Nanofibers

A great deal of effort has been invested in the design and characterization of systems which spontaneously assemble into nanofibers. These systems are interesting for their fundamental supramolecular chemistry and have also been shown to be promising materials, particularly for biomedical applications. Multidomain peptides are one such assembler, and in previous work we have demonstrated the re...

Optimization of dengue virus genome assembling using GSFLX 454 pyrosequencing data: evaluation of assembling strategies.

Currently assembling genomes without reference is one of the most important challenges for bioinformaticists all over the world in an attempt to characterize new organisms. The current study has used two dengue virus type 4 (DENV-4) strains recently isolated in Brazil, which have its genomes sequenced using the GSFLX 454 sequencer (Roche, Life Science) by the pyrosequencing method. The GSFLX 45...

Screening two mutations in the dysferlin gene by exon capture and sequence analysis: A case report

A patient with progressive muscular atrophy was assessed for the disease-associated genes by next-generation sequencing technology and exon trap and sequence analysis. The results of the investigation identified 399 genes, covering all exons in addition to 10 bp on either side, which are specific to 659 types of neuromuscular disorders, including hypotypes. Exon capture and sequence analysis re...

Exon-Specific QTLs Skew the Inferred Distribution of Expression QTLs Detected Using Gene Expression Array Data

Mapping of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) is an important technique for studying how genetic variation affects gene regulation in natural populations. In a previous study using Illumina expression data from human lymphoblastoid cell lines, we reported that cis-eQTLs are especially enriched around transcription start sites (TSSs) and immediately upstream of transcription end sites (T...
