A human genome story
‘I remember standing with Bob Horvitz at the window of the old lecture room a year or so after we moved to Hinxton, looking at the enormous hole in the ground that was to be our new building. “John,” he asked me, “do you really know what you are doing?”’ Thus Sulston recalls one moment in the huge shift from being a researcher on the genetics and development of the worm Caenorhabditis elegans a...
متن کاملThe missing story behind Genome Wide Association Studies: single nucleotide polymorphisms in gene deserts have a story to tell
Genome wide association studies are central to the evolution of personalized medicine. However, the propensity for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to fall outside of genes means that understanding how these polymorphisms alter cellular function requires an expanded view of human genetics. Integrating the study of genome structure (chromosome conformation capture) into its function opens ...
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 Human Transcriptome: An Unfinished Story
Despite recent technological advances, the study of the human transcriptome is still in its early stages. Here we provide an overview of the complex human transcriptomic landscape, present the bioinformatics challenges posed by the vast quantities of transcriptomic data, and discuss some of the studies that have tried to determine how much of the human genome is transcribed. Recent evidence has...
متن کاملThe paediatric story of human papillomavirus (Review)
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is composed of a particularly heterogeneous family of DNA viruses, which has gained much attention in recent years due to the discoveries of Professor Harald zur Hausen, who first identified a connection between HPV and cervical cancer. Professor Harald zur Hausen, the 'Father of HPV Virology', was the recipient of the 2008 Nobel Prize. HPV can be transmitted through ...
