DHPLC Applications: Finding DNA Variation on the Y Chromosome
Denaturing High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (DHPLC) is a recently developed technique forthe detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and mutations. It involves the comparisonbetween two or more DNAs as a mixture of denatured and reannealed PCR products. The methodologyis based on the principle of reversed phase liquid chromatography and uses a unique DNA sepa...
متن کاملOn the Estimation of Mutation Rate Based on Coalescence Genealogy
Estimating gene mutation rates using DNA data from a population since its coalescence is an important part in the study of evolutionary genetic history, and is of its own interest also. There are a number of existing methods for this goal and are successful in application, but formal asymptotic study is absent except for the Watterson estimator, such as consistency of the estimator and its rate...
متن کاملMutation rates at Y chromosome specific microsatellites.
A collaborative work was carried out by the Spanish and Portuguese ISFG Working Group (GEP-ISFG) to estimate Y-STR mutation rates. Seventeen Y chromosome STR loci (DYS19, DYS385, DYS389I and II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS437, DYS438, DYS439, DYS460, DYS461, DYS635 [GATA C4], GATA H4, and GATA A10) were analyzed in a sample of 3,026 father/son pairs. Among 27,029 allele transfers, 54 mu...
متن کاملHuman Y Chromosome Base-Substitution Mutation Rate Measured by Direct Sequencing in a Deep-Rooting Pedigree
Understanding the key process of human mutation is important for many aspects of medical genetics and human evolution. In the past, estimates of mutation rates have generally been inferred from phenotypic observations or comparisons of homologous sequences among closely related species. Here, we apply new sequencing technology to measure directly one mutation rate, that of base substitutions on...
متن کاملMutation Rate Estimates for 110 Y-chromosome Strs Combining Population and 1 Father-son Pair Data 2 3 Running Title: Mutation Rate Estimates for Y-strs 21
22 23 Y-chromosome microsatellites (Y-STRs) are typically used for kinship analysis and 24 forensic identification as well as for inferences on population history and evolution. All 25 applications would greatly benefit from reliable locus-specific mutation rates, to improve 26 forensic probability calculations and interpretations of diversity data. However, estimates of 27 mutation rate from f...
