  • Precisely at those repetitive regions, a signal about the microarray was apparent, arguing for interference of repetitive sequences with all the probe amplication and hy bridization demanded during the ChIP on chip process, and hence presumably representing a sequence connected artifact.

  • Here, we perform single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on 19 human NB samples coupled with multiplex immunohistochemistry, survival analysis, and comparison with normal fetal adrenal gland data. (pklab.org)
  • The assembly provides simplified descriptions of the genome, as disparate data sources such as GenBank and numerous expressed sequence tag (EST) and protein databases are unified. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The public data were shredded into 550-bp segments to create a 2.9-fold coverage of those genome regions that had been sequenced, without including biases inherent in the cloning and assembly procedure used by the publicly funded group. (inrae.fr)
  • DNA sequence comparisons between the consensus sequence and publicly funded genome data provided locations of 2.1 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). (inrae.fr)
  • Lines represent the HT events identified from genome short read sequencing data. (portalbubalu.com.br)
  • Durocher Y, Perret S, Kamen A( 2002) High-level and aortic AbstractRecombinant pLT43 region by multidimensional method of modeling supernatant longitudinal data. (naturheilpraxis-gisbert-fussek.de)
  • The sequence of these clones is approximately 93% complete to at least 4-fold coverage [ 7 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The human genome contains around 130 regions, totaling 274Mb and ten percent of the total genome, that are flanked by these intrachromosomal duplications. (wikipedia.org)
  • Any large-scale sequencing project, even the Human Genome Project, is a major investment requiring global collaboration. (abclonal.com)
  • According to classic definitions, epigenetics refers to heritable differences between cells or organisms that occur without changes in DNA sequence, and do not depend on different external conditions [1] - [4] . (plos.org)
  • A 2.91-billion base pair (bp) consensus sequence of the euchromatic portion of the human genome was generated by the whole-genome shotgun sequencing method. (inrae.fr)
  • Their telomeres are centrally localized, forming nucleolus-associated domains (NADs), whereas their heterochromatic repetitive elements are condensed around centromeric and peri-centromeric regions, forming peripheral chromocenters. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Using both techniques, scientists could generate the complete human genome sequence. (techexplorist.com)
  • Regions of the genome which are flanked by repeats represent potential hotspots of genomic instability that are prone to copy-number variation. (wikipedia.org)
  • Research has also found an increase of segmental duplications within regions of the CNPs showing that the duplications are responsible for the variation in copy number. (wikipedia.org)
  • The largest heterochromatic region in the human genome, Yq12, is composed of alternating repeat arrays that show extensive variation in the number, size and distribution, but retain a 1:1 copy-number ratio. (pacb.com)
  • This new human genome sequence is especially useful for studies that aim to establish comprehensive views of human genomic variation or how people's DNA differs. (techexplorist.com)
