Predicting CpG Islands and DNA Methlation in the Cow Genome Using DNA Microarray Meta-Analysis and Genome Wide Scanning
DNA methylation is a type of epigenetic changes that directly affects DNA. In mammals, DNA methylation is essential for fetal development and stem cell differentiation and this phenomenon essentially occurs within the CpG islands. In this study, two methods were used to study the DNA methylation profile of cow genome. In the first method, the DNA methylation profile of the differentially expres...
متن کاملPredicting Human Genetic Interactions from Cancer Genome Evolution
Synthetic Lethal (SL) genetic interactions play a key role in various types of biological research, ranging from understanding genotype-phenotype relationships to identifying drug-targets against cancer. Despite recent advances in empirical measuring SL interactions in human cells, the human genetic interaction map is far from complete. Here, we present a novel approach to predict this map by e...
متن کاملPredicting the evolution of human influenza A.
Eighteen codons in the HA1 domain of the hemagglutinin genes of human influenza A subtype H3 appear to be under positive selection to change the amino acid they encode. Retrospective tests show that viral lineages undergoing the greatest number of mutations in the positively selected codons were the progenitors of future H3 lineages in 9 of 11 recent influenza seasons. Codons under positive sel...
متن کاملEvolution of the Human Genome: Adaptive Changes
The study of human evolution is of interest to many both for the potential it has to improve our understanding of heritable disease, as well as for the possibility of illuminating evidence for adaptations that may help to tell the story of our origin. But uncovering evidence of positive selection at the genetic level has been a challenge. It remains unclear how much of the human genome has been...
متن کاملThe human genome revolution or evolution?
At the time of publication, the draft of the human genome sequence will have been released. Beyond the anecdotal event that it is coincidentalwith the year 2000, the availability of this draft is an evolution rather than a revolution that proceeds from Socrate’s famous motto “Know yourself” and constitutes a significant milestone of our journey towards an even more self-conscious humanity. A co...
