Large-scale recombination rate patterns are conserved among human populations.
In humans, most recombination events occur in a small fraction of the genome. These hotspots of recombination show considerable variation in intensity and/or location across species and, potentially, across human populations. On a larger scale, the patterns of recombination rates have been mostly investigated in individuals of European ancestry, and it remains unknown whether the results obtain...
متن کاملLarge-scale analysis of human heavy chain V(D)J recombination patterns
BACKGROUND The processes involved in the somatic assembly of antigen receptor genes are unique to the immune system and are driven largely by random events. Subtle biases, however, may exist and provide clues to the molecular mechanisms involved in their assembly and selection. Large-scale efforts to provide baseline data about the genetic characteristics of immunoglobulin (Ig) genes and the me...
متن کاملCollective Response of Human Populations to Large-Scale Emergencies
Despite recent advances in uncovering the quantitative features of stationary human activity patterns, many applications, from pandemic prediction to emergency response, require an understanding of how these patterns change when the population encounters unfamiliar conditions. To explore societal response to external perturbations we identified real-time changes in communication and mobility pa...
متن کاملRegulated large-scale nucleosome density patterns and precise nucleosome positioning correlate with V(D)J recombination.
We show that the physical distribution of nucleosomes at antigen receptor loci is subject to regulated cell type-specific and lineage-specific positioning and correlates with the accessibility of these gene segments to recombination. At the Ig heavy chain locus (IgH), a nucleosome in pro-B cells is generally positioned over each IgH variable (VH) coding segment, directly adjacent to the recombi...
متن کاملRate of adaptation in large sexual populations.
Adaptation often involves the acquisition of a large number of genomic changes that arise as mutations in single individuals. In asexual populations, combinations of mutations can fix only when they arise in the same lineage, but for populations in which genetic information is exchanged, beneficial mutations can arise in different individuals and be combined later. In large populations, when th...
