Noninvasive genome sampling in chimpanzees.
The inevitable has happened: genomic technologies have been added to our noninvasive genetic sampling repertoire. In this issue of Molecular Ecology, Perry et al. (2010) demonstrate how DNA extraction from chimpanzee faeces, followed by a series of steps to enrich for target loci, can be coupled with next-generation sequencing. These authors collected sequence and single-nucleotide polymorphism...
متن کاملNoninvasive transcutaneous sampling of glucose by electroporation.
BACKGROUND In people with diabetes, blood glucose levels should be monitored regularly to prevent serious complications associated with diabetes. This involves the invasive method of withdrawing blood, which causes inconvenience to patients. The objective of this study was to investigate the efficiency of the noninvasive electroporation and transcutaneous sampling (ETS) technique for predicting...
متن کاملComparative nuclear and mitochondrial genome diversity in humans and chimpanzees.
Restriction mapping and sequencing have shown that humans have substantially lower levels of mitochondrial genome diversity (d) than chimpanzees. In contrast, humans have substantially higher levels of heterozygosity (H) at protein-coding loci, suggesting a higher level of diversity in the nuclear genome. To investigate the discrepancy further, we sequenced a segment of the mitochondrial genome...
متن کاملNoninvasive genetic sampling reveals intrasex territoriality in wolverines.
Due to its conspicuous manifestations and its capacity to shape the configuration and dynamics of wild populations, territorial behavior has long intrigued ecologists. Territoriality and other animal interactions in situ have traditionally been studied via direct observations and telemetry. Here, we explore whether noninvasive genetic sampling, which is increasingly supplementing traditional fi...
متن کاملWhole genome sequencing based noninvasive prenatal test
NIFTY test by BGI detects trisomies 13, 18, and 21 as well as some sex chromosome aneuploidies and selected microdeletions [3]. Verinata Health, a subsidiary of Illumina offers the Verifi test for detection of trisomies 13, 18, 21, and the presence of monosomy X. The expanded version of this test also detects other aneuploidies and microdeletions [4]. Compared to other NIPT techniques such as t...
