Personal and population genomics of human regulatory variation.
The characteristics and evolutionary forces acting on regulatory variation in humans remains elusive because of the difficulty in defining functionally important noncoding DNA. Here, we combine genome-scale maps of regulatory DNA marked by DNase I hypersensitive sites (DHSs) from 138 cell and tissue types with whole-genome sequences of 53 geographically diverse individuals in order to better de...
متن کاملPopulation genomics and transcriptional consequences of regulatory motif variation in globally diverse Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains.
Noncoding genetic variation is known to significantly influence gene expression levels in a growing number of specific cases; however, the patterns of genome-wide noncoding variation present within populations, the evolutionary forces acting on noncoding variants, and the relative effects of regulatory polymorphisms on transcript abundance are not well characterized. Here, we address these ques...
متن کاملElucidating cis- and trans-regulatory variation using genetical genomics.
Genetic variation, through its effects on gene regulatory networks, has an important role in determining biologic phenotypes and disease susceptibility. Recent studies using segregating populations have characterized variation in gene expression resulting from genetic differences and have used well-established assays to identify many cis-acting polymorphisms. Although trans effects have been sh...

متن کاملComparative genomics of human stem cell factor (SCF)
Stem cell factor (SCF) is a critical protein with key roles in the cell such as hematopoiesis, gametogenesis and melanogenesis. In the present study a comparative analysis on nucleotide sequences of SCF was performed in Humanoids using bioinformatics tools including NCBI-BLAST, MEGA6, and JBrowse. Our analysis of nucleotide sequences to find closely evolved organisms with high similarity by NCB...
