Extensive variation in chromatin states across humans.
The majority of disease-associated variants lie outside protein-coding regions, suggesting a link between variation in regulatory regions and disease predisposition. We studied differences in chromatin states using five histone modifications, cohesin, and CTCF in lymphoblastoid lines from 19 individuals of diverse ancestry. We found extensive signal variation in regulatory regions, which often ...
متن کاملGenomic clocks and evolutionary timescales.
For decades, molecular clocks have helped to illuminate the evolutionary timescale of life, but now genomic data pose a challenge for time estimation methods. It is unclear how to integrate data from many genes, each potentially evolving under a different model of substitution and at a different rate. Current methods can be grouped by the way the data are handled (genes considered separately or...
متن کاملEvidence of Subdivisions on Evolutionary Timescales in a Large, Declining Marsupial Distributed across a Phylogeographic Barrier
Major prehistoric forces, such as the climatic shifts of the Pleistocene, can remain visible in a species' population genetics. Inference of refuges via genetic tools is useful for conservation management as it can identify populations whose preservation may help retain a species' adaptive potential. Such investigation is needed for Australia's southern hairy-nosed wombat (Lasiorhinus latifrons...
متن کاملAn Evolutionary Analysis of Antigen Processing and Presentation across Different Timescales Reveals Pervasive Selection
The antigenic repertoire presented by MHC molecules is generated by the antigen processing and presentation (APP) pathway. We analyzed the evolutionary history of 45 genes involved in APP at the inter- and intra-species level. Results showed that 11 genes evolved adaptively in mammals. Several positively selected sites involve positions of fundamental importance to the protein function (e.g. th...
متن کاملUnravelling cross-recurrence: coupling across timescales
We present an extension of cross-recurrence analysis for dual gaze analysis which is suited for complex situations where for instance the objects of interest are not all visible at all times or when stimulus exploration is not homogeneous. The typicical situation is a visual stimulus that is scrolled or that is explored sequentially. We use a recurrence simulation to illustrate how to measure t...
