Predicting CpG Islands and DNA Methlation in the Cow Genome Using DNA Microarray Meta-Analysis and Genome Wide Scanning
DNA methylation is a type of epigenetic changes that directly affects DNA. In mammals, DNA methylation is essential for fetal development and stem cell differentiation and this phenomenon essentially occurs within the CpG islands. In this study, two methods were used to study the DNA methylation profile of cow genome. In the first method, the DNA methylation profile of the differentially expres...
متن کاملPalindrome Patterns in the Human Genome
We attempt to find out if some simple nucleotide-level sequence patterns exist that have certain genome-wide properties. We propose a representation method by which a DNA sequence can be encoded into a 3D curve. The encoding method reveals a linear trend and discernable orientation displayed by the human genomic sequences. We identify some palindromes that possess the trend and orientation simi...
متن کاملGenome-wide association analysis
Genome-wide association (GWA) studies have become overwhelmingly popular in the last few years as a means to elucidate associations between particular alleles in one’s DNA and a predisposition to disease, using genetic data from unrelated individuals randomly sampled from a population (Balding, 2006; WTCCC, 2007). The recent availability of large amounts of such population genetic data necessit...
متن کاملGenome-Wide Screen Reveals Replication Pathway for Quasi-Palindrome Fragility Dependent on Homologous Recombination
Inverted repeats capable of forming hairpin and cruciform structures present a threat to chromosomal integrity. They induce double strand breaks, which lead to gross chromosomal rearrangements, the hallmarks of cancers and hereditary diseases. Secondary structure formation at this motif has been proposed to be the driving force for the instability, albeit the mechanisms leading to the fragility...
متن کاملEpistasis Analysis Goes Genome-Wide
Epistasis, a term coined by William Bateson in 1909 [1], refers to the interdependence of mutations in their phenotypic effects. Let the phenotypic value of a trait relative to that of the wild type be fA and fB for mutants A and B, respectively, and let the phenotypic value of the corresponding double mutant be fAB. Although variation exists, epistasis is usually defined by ε = fAB − fAfB and ...
