Structural variations in plant genomes
Differences between plant genomes range from single nucleotide polymorphisms to large-scale duplications, deletions and rearrangements. The large polymorphisms are termed structural variants (SVs). SVs have received significant attention in human genetics and were found to be responsible for various chronic diseases. However, little effort has been directed towards understanding the role of SVs...
متن کاملSchistosomal glomerulopathies
Schistosomes are blood flukes that parasitize the venous system of a wide range of animals including birds, cattle and primates. There are seven human pathogenic species of which the, most prevalent are S. hematobium, found mainly in Africa, S. mansoni found in Latin America as well as Africa, and S. japonicum, endemic in China and the Far East. According to WHO estimates, some 700 million inha...
متن کاملStructural Heterogeneity of Terminal Glycans in Campylobacter jejuni Lipooligosaccharides
Lipooligosaccharides of the gastrointestinal pathogen Campylobacter jejuni are regarded as a major virulence factor and are implicated in the production of cross-reactive antibodies against host gangliosides, which leads to the development of autoimmune neuropathies such as Guillain-Barré and Fisher Syndromes. C. jejuni strains are known to produce diverse LOS structures encoded by more than 19...
متن کاملUnderstanding genome structural variations
Genome structural variations (SVs) in the human genome are defined as DNA sequence polymorphisms of at least a few dozen or few hundred bases in length and include deletions, duplications, inversions, translocation, retroelement insertions, and more complex rearrangements that could be thought of as consisting of multiple fragments from the just listed categories. More bases in a personal genom...
متن کاملCataloguing Plant Genome Structural Variations
Structural variation (SV) is a type of genetic variation identified through the comparison of genome structures which often have direct and significant associations with phenotypic variations. Building on the next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, research on plant structural variations are gaining momentum and have revolutionized our view on the functional impact of the ‘hidden’ divers...
