Birth, expansion, and death of VCY-containing palindromes on the human Y chromosome.

Genome biology | 2019

Large palindromes (inverted repeats) make up substantial proportions of mammalian sex chromosomes, often contain genes, and have high rates of structural variation arising via ectopic recombination. As a result, they underlie many genomic disorders. Maintenance of the palindromic structure by gene conversion between the arms has been documented, but over longer time periods, palindromes are remarkably labile. Mechanisms of origin and loss of palindromes have, however, received little attention.

Coriell Institute for Medical Research (tool)

RRID:SCR_003043

Non-profit research center dedicated to the study of the human genome. Expert staff and pioneering programs in the fields of personalized medicine, cell biology, cytogenetics, genotyping, and biobanking drive our mission. The emerging field of personalized medicine draws upon a person's genomic information to tailor treatments and prescription drug dosing to optimize health outcomes. The Coriell Personalized Medicine Collaborative (CPMC) research study is seeking to understand the usefulness of genetic risk and pharmacogenomics in clinical decision-making and healthcare management. Coriell has a distinguished history in cell biology. We are building upon this expertise by playing an important role in induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell research. These powerful cells, which can be made from skin cells or blood, are revolutionizing the way human disease is studied and how drugs are developed. The decline of neurons afflicted with Alzheimer's disease or pancreatic cells fighting diabetes can be studied in a Petri dish. By proving efficacy within the diseased environment prior to clinical trial, drugs can move through the pipeline quicker to reach patients sooner. In addition to pioneering cutting-edge research initiatives, Coriell offers custom research services including cell culture, cytogenetic analyses, and molecular biology to the scientific community. Furthermore, Coriell's Genotyping and Microarray Center is one of the nation's largest centers, with high-throughput DNA analysis systems from Illumina and Affymetrix. The Center is CLIA-certified in 48 states.
