Population genetics meets cancer genomics.
T here is a broad consensus that genetic alterations of normal body cells are the basis of cancer progression. Throughout the lifetime of an individual, her or his cells have to divide often, which is associated with occasional genetic changes. Some of the changes lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation and, at later stages of cancer progression, to blood vessel formation in the tumor tissue an...
متن کاملAfrotheria: plate tectonics meets genomics.
A frotheria is one of the most remarkable hypotheses in mammal evolution. It suggests that one-third of the orders of placental mammals form an ancient group that evolved on Africa when that continent was isolated from others through plate tectonics (1). Although this hypothesis has been predicted by molecular clock studies (2), evidence for it has emerged only in the last 3 years from phylogen...
متن کاملPopulation genomics of intrapatient HIV-1 evolution
Many microbial populations rapidly adapt to changing environments with multiple variants competing for survival. To quantify such complex evolutionary dynamics in vivo, time resolved and genome wide data including rare variants are essential. We performed whole-genome deep sequencing of HIV-1 populations in 9 untreated patients, with 6-12 longitudinal samples per patient spanning 5-8 years of i...
متن کاملTILLING. Traditional mutagenesis meets functional genomics.
Most of the genes of an organism are known from sequence, but most of the phenotypes are obscure. Thus, reverse genetics has become an important goal for many biologists. However, reverse-genetic methodologies are not similarly applicable to all organisms. In the general strategy for reverse genetics that we call TILLING (for Targeting Induced Local Lesions in Genomes), traditional chemical mut...
متن کامل2nd generation DNA sequencing meets functional genomics
introduction of the first 2nd generation DNA sequencing method five years ago heralded a paradigm shift and propelled us into a new era [1]. In contrast to the Sanger sequencing method that dominated DNA sequencing for nearly 30 years [2], 2nd generation sequencing analyzes clonal representations of the input DNA. Using highly parallel processing in microfluidic devices and stepwise addition of...
