摘要:
The invention provides several methods for reducing the complexity of a population of nucleic acids prior to performing an analysis of the nucleic acids on a nucleic acid probe array. The methods result in a subset of the initial population enriched for a desired property, or lacking nucleic acids having an undesired properly. The resulting nucleic acids in the subset are then applied to the array for various types of analysis. The methods are particularly useful for analyzing populations having a high decree of complexity, for example, chromosomal-derived DNA, or whole genomic DNA, or mRNA population. In addition, such methods allow for analysis of pooled samples.

The present invention relates to methods for identifying variations that occur in the human genome and relating these variations to the genetic basis of disease and drug response. In particular, the present invention relates to identifying individual SNPs, determining SNP haplotype blocks and patterns, and, further, using the SNP haplotype blocks and patterns to dissect the genetic bases of disease and drug response. The methods of the present invention are useful in whole genome analysis.

The present invention relates to business methods for discovery of therapeutic and diagnostic products by identifying variations that occur in the human genome, relating these variations to one another, and, ultimately, relating these variations to the genetic bases of phenotype such as disease resistance, disease susceptibility or drug response.
摘要:
The invention provides nucleic acid segments of the human genome including polymorphic sites, SNP haplotype blocks, SNP haplotype patterns for each block and informative SNPs for each pattern. Allele-specific primers and probes hybridizing to regions flanking these sites are also provided. The nucleic acids, primers and probes are used in applications such as association studies and other genetic analyses.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods for determining sequence similarity (conserved sequences) between nucleic acids from a first organism and nucleic acids from a second, different organism without having to know a priori the nucleic acid sequence from the second, different organism. The first nucleic acid can be from any organism where the sequence of the nucleic acid is known and the second nucleic acid can be from any organism. The method involves determining which bases from the second nucleic acid are identical to the first nucleic acid, and allows one to determine the sequence of portions of the second nucleic acid. The invention is useful for identifying putative functional regions or putative organism-sequences in a genome.
摘要:
Computer-implemented methods, data processing apparatus and computer program codes for characterizing an interrogation position, such as a SNP position, in a nucleic acid sequence are provided herein. Computer-implemented methods involving various statistical analyses are provided for characterizing an interrogation position as being associated with a phenotypic trait of interest.
摘要:
Improved systems and methods for performing genetic analyses. Full genomic DNA scans are performed on the genetic DNA from a plurality of individuals to identify genetic variants. For those variants, but not based on a full genetic DNA scan, the variants alone are scanned in additional individuals to identify blocks of the variants that tend to be inherited together.
