Detection of Genomic Duplications and Deletions
Gene and chromosome duplications have been implicated as fundamental evolutionary mechanisms (Ohno et al.,1968; Li and Gojobori, 1983; Schughart et al., 1989). For the purpose of this chapter, duplications and deletions are defined as those too large to be routinely detected by sequencing or simple PCR-based methods (100 bp), but too small to be detected by conventional cytogenetic metaphase a...
متن کاملCLN8 disease caused by large genomic deletions
BACKGROUND The presence of deletions can complicate genetic diagnosis of autosomal recessive disease. METHOD The DNA of patients was analyzed in a diagnostic setting. RESULTS We present three unrelated patients each carrying deletions that encompass the 37 kb CLN8 gene and discuss their phenotype. Two of the cases were hemizygous for a mutant allele - their deletions unmasked a mutation in ...
متن کاملGenomic Deletions Created upon LINE-1 Retrotransposition
LINE-1 (L1) retrotransposition continues to impact the human genome, yet little is known about how L1 integrates into DNA. Here, we developed a plasmid-based rescue system and have used it to recover 37 new L1 retrotransposition events from cultured human cells. Sequencing of the insertions revealed the usual L1 structural hallmarks; however, in four instances, retrotransposition generated larg...
متن کاملRuler arrays detect genomic insertions and deletions
A Ruler Array measures the distance between a set of microarray probes and a set of experimentally defined locations in a nucleic acid, offering new possibilities for locating and characterizing changes in the nucleic acid sequence. Despite the known relevance of genomic changes to pathogens, cancer, development, and evolution, many of these changes evade detection by existing high-throughput t...
متن کاملGenomic Distances under Deletions and Insertions
As more and more genomes are sequenced, evolutionary biologists are becoming increasingly interested in evolution at the level of whole genomes, in scenarios in which the genome evolves through insertions, deletions, and movements of genes along its chromosomes. In the mathematical model pioneered by Sankoff and others, a unichromosomal genome is represented by a signed permutation of a multise...
