Whole genome analysis for 163 gRNAs in Cas9-edited mice reveals minimal off-target activity

Allele design and guide selection For multi-exon genes, a critical region (one or more exons) was identified as shared among all annotated full-length transcripts whose removal was predicted to result in a frame-shift mutation and introduction of premature stop codon greater than 50-nt from the final splice junction increasing the…

Genetic and chemotherapeutic influences on germline hypermutation

DNM filtering in 100,000 Genomes Project We analysed DNMs called in 13,949 parent–offspring trios from 12,609 families from the rare disease programme of the 100,000 Genomes Project. The rare disease cohort includes individuals with a wide array of diseases, including neurodevelopmental disorders, cardiovascular disorders, renal and urinary tract disorders, ophthalmological…

snp – Reference variant detected as altered one in bam file

I received (from manufacturer) several .bam files and I used four callers (samtools, freebayes, haplotypecaller, deepvariant) to find some sequence variants. In obtained .vcf files, I took a closer look to some calls. I found interesting, homozygous one rs477033 (C/G Ref/Alt) with flag ‘COMMON=0’ and very low MAF. I also…

Low transcript quantification with Salmon using GRCm39 annotations

Hi everyone, first time working with mouse samples and unfortunately, there are fewer resources available for the latest mouse Ensembl genome than I was expecting. What I’ve done: I performed rRNA depletion on total RNA extracted from mouse tissue and created Illumina libraries using a cDNA synthesis kit with random…

BTG2 gene predicts poor outcome in PT-DLBCL

Introduction Primary testicular diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PT-DLBCL) is a rare and aggressive form of mature B-cell lymphoma.1–3 PT-DLBCL was the most common type of testicular tumor in men aged over 60 and characterized by painless uni- or bilateral testicular masses with infrequent constitutional symptoms.4–6 PT-DLBCL shows significant extranodal tropism,…

Profiling and functional characterization of maternal mRNA translation during mouse maternal-to-zygotic transition

INTRODUCTION Mammalian life starts with the fusion of two terminally differentiated gametes, sperm and oocyte, resulting in a totipotent zygote. After going through preimplantation development, the zygote reaches blastocyst before implantation. The two most important events taking place during preimplantation development are zygotic genome activation (ZGA) and the first cell…
