Novel Method for Analysis of Allele Specific Expression in Triploid Oryzias latipes Reveals Consistent Pattern of Allele Exclusion

Novel Method for Analysis of Allele Specific Expression in Triploid Oryzias latipes Reveals Consistent Pattern of Allele Exclusion

Assessing allele-specific gene expression (ASE) on a large scale continues to be a technically challenging problem. Certain biological phenomena, such as X chromosome inactivation and parental imprinting, affect ASE most drastically by completely shutting down the expression of a whole set of alleles. Other more subtle effects on ASE are likely to be much more complex and dependent on the genet...

Global analysis of allele-specific expression in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Gene expression is a complex trait determined by various genetic and nongenetic factors. Among the genetic factors, allelic difference may play a critical role in gene regulation. In this study we globally dissected cis (allelic) and trans sources of genetic variation in F(1) hybrids between two Arabidopsis thaliana wild accessions, Columbia (Col) and Vancouver (Van), using a new high-density S...

Benchmarking of read mapping bias in allele specific expression analysis

Allele-specific gene expression uncovered.

Genetic variation in populations can result in variation in levels of gene expression but the extent to which this occurs has been unclear. In this article, recent studies of allele-specific expression among autosomal non-imprinted genes are reviewed. These new data provide evidence that differential expression is relatively common and that allelic differences are heritable and can be highly co...

Application of Allele Specific Markers in Determining Alleles at VRN-1 Loci in Bread Wheat Genotypes

    Wheat is the most important crop and is cultivated all over the world. Wheat has a wide range of adaptability to different climates. Vernalization genes are one of the important factors determining wheat adaptability. in wheat breeding program understanding the alleles at vernalization requirement gens are useful to introduce new cultivar for different climates. At the molecular level, the ...
