Tiggers and other DNA transposon fossils in the human genome
We report several classes of human interspersed repeats that resemble fossils of DNA transposons, elements that move by excision and reintegration in the genome, whereas previously characterized mammalian repeats all appear to have accumulated by retrotransposition, which involves an RNA intermediate. The human genome contains at least 14 families and > 100,000 degenerate copies of short (180-1...
متن کاملThe other genome.
Since the discovery that Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) results from mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), considerable attention has been focused on this alternative genome and on development of the scientific tools needed to study this remarkable genetic pathway (1, 2). In this issue, Chen et al. (3 ) describe the application of temporal temperature gradient gel electrophoresis to...
متن کاملidentification and discovery of novel micrornas in the human genome
although more than 98% of the human genome is transcribed, most of these transcripts are not translated into proteins. rather, they are considered as non-coding rnas. micrornas (mirnas) are very short non-coding rnas approximately 22 nucleotides in length which regulate many key processes of cells such as growth, proliferation, differentiation, cell cycle, apoptosis (programmed cell death) and ...
متن کاملThe Reference Human Genome Demonstrates High Risk of Type 1 Diabetes and Other Disorders
Personal genome resequencing has provided promising lead to personalized medicine. However, due to the limited samples and the lack of case/control design, current interpretation of personal genome sequences has been mainly focused on the identification and functional annotation of the DNA variants that are different from the reference genome. The reference genome was deduced from a collection ...
متن کاملThe Human Genome Project.
Dear readers, The last few decades have seen a number of exciting developments in genetics. First, Watson and Crick broke the genetic code; since then, tech-nologic and methodologic breakthroughs have permitted the study and direct manipulation of our DNA. Now there is an international ground swell to map and sequence the human genome. The Bush administration had originally requested $128 milli...
