Whole-Genome Sequencing of Sordaria macrospora Mutants Identifies Developmental Genes
The study of mutants to elucidate gene functions has a long and successful history; however, to discover causative mutations in mutants that were generated by random mutagenesis often takes years of laboratory work and requires previously generated genetic and/or physical markers, or resources like DNA libraries for complementation. Here, we present an alternative method to identify defective g...
متن کاملWhole-genome sequencing of rifampicin-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains identifies compensatory mutations in RNA polymerase genes
Epidemics of drug-resistant bacteria emerge worldwide, even as resistant strains frequently have reduced fitness compared to their drug-susceptible counterparts . Data from model systems suggest that the fitness cost of antimicrobial resistance can be reduced by compensatory mutations2; however, there is limited evidence that compensatory evolution has any significant role in the success of dru...
متن کاملWhole-Genome Sequencing of Individuals from a Founder Population Identifies Candidate Genes for Asthma
Asthma is a complex genetic disease caused by a combination of genetic and environmental risk factors. We sought to test classes of genetic variants largely missed by genome-wide association studies (GWAS), including copy number variants (CNVs) and low-frequency variants, by performing whole-genome sequencing (WGS) on 16 individuals from asthma-enriched and asthma-depleted families. The samples...
متن کاملWhole-genome sequencing identifies new genetic alterations in meningiomas
The major known genetic contributor to meningioma formation was NF2, which is disrupted by mutation or loss in about 50% of tumors. Besides NF2, several recurrent driver mutations were recently uncovered through next-generation sequencing. Here, we performed whole-genome sequencing across 7 tumor-normal pairs to identify somatic genetic alterations in meningioma. As a result, Chromatin regulato...
متن کاملComparative sequence analysis of Sordaria macrospora and Neurospora crassa as a means to improve genome annotation.
One of the most challenging parts of large scale sequencing projects is the identification of functional elements encoded in a genome. Recently, studies of genomes of up to six different Saccharomyces species have demonstrated that a comparative analysis of genome sequences from closely related species is a powerful approach to identify open reading frames and other functional regions within ge...
