چکیده
Motivation: Studying the pattern of genetic variants is a primary step in deciphering the basis of biological diversity, identifying key ‘driver variants’ that affect disease states and evolution of a species. Catalogs of genetic variants contain vast numbers of variants and are growing at an exponential rate, but lack an interactive exploratory

Genetic diversity between hepatitis G virus isolates: analysis of nucleotide variation in the NS-3 and putative 'core' peptide genes.
Significant variation was found, between 46 isolates of hepatitis G virus (HGV), following direct sequencing of subgenomic PCR fragments from either or both the NS-3 and putative 'core' peptide. Nucleotide sequences of most HGV NS-3 fragments varied by 10-30% and of most putative 'core' peptide fragments by 2-20%. HGV was therefore shown to be much less variable than hepatitis C virus (HCV) and...
متن کاملBioJS DAGViewer: A reusable JavaScript component for displaying directed graphs
SUMMARY The DAGViewer BioJS component is a reusable JavaScript component made available as part of the BioJS project and intended to be used to display graphs of structured data, with a particular emphasis on Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs). It enables users to embed representations of graphs of data, such as ontologies or phylogenetic trees, in hyper-text documents (HTML). This component is gen...
متن کاملBuilding a Research Model for Human Genetic Variation Knowledge Management
Organizational knowledge management (KM) research studies the nature of knowledge, the scope of KM, the factors and mechanisms that affect KM outcomes, as well as theoretical KM frameworks. This paper discusses the implications of past studies for the KM efforts in the human genetic variation (HGV) research domain and presents a HGV-KM research model. This model identifies the context of HGV KM...
متن کاملGenetic evolution of hepatitis G virus in chronically infected individual patients.
Comparative sequence analysis of different isolates of hepatitis G virus (HGV) has demonstrated significant intersubject genetic heterogeneity, but few data on intrasubject genetic evolution have been reported. To further investigate the genetic diversification of the HGV genome, 36 plasma samples from eleven patients chronically infected with HGV serially obtained 2-4 years apart were analysed...
متن کاملSequence variation within a nonstructural region of the hepatitis G virus genome.
Nine sets of nested PCR primers from a 2.6-kb region of the hepatitis G virus (HGV) genome at nucleotide positions 5829 to 8421 were designed and used to analyze serum specimens obtained from patients with community-acquired non-A, non-B hepatitis who were HGV RNA positive. One set of primers was found to be most efficient in detecting HGV and was subsequently used to test 162 HCV-positive and ...
