Mutational evolution in a lobular breast tumour profiled at single nucleotide resolution.

6 Oct 2009 Recent advances in next generation sequencing have made it possible to precisely characterize all somatic coding mutations that occur during the development and progression of individual cancers. Here we used these approaches to sequence the genomes ... Read more...

The impact of retrotransposons on human genome evolution.

29 Sep 2009 Their ability to move within genomes gives transposable elements an intrinsic propensity to affect genome evolution. Non-long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons--including LINE-1, Alu and SVA elements--have proliferated over the past 80 million ... Read more...

Reconstructing Indian population history.

22 Sep 2009 India has been underrepresented in genome-wide surveys of human variation. We analyse 25 diverse groups in India to provide strong evidence for two ancient populations, genetically divergent, that are ancestral to most Indians today. One, the ... Read more...
