The HLA-G gene presents substantial nucleotide variability in its regulatory regions. However, it encodes a limited number of proteins compared to classical HLA class I genes. We characterized the HLA-G genetic variability in 4640 individuals from 88 di...

However, the immune mechanisms behind the recurrence have not been thoroughly investigated. The presence of neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) in recurrence/reinfection cases suggests that other types of immune response are involve...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-05-01; Short tandem repeats (STRs) are particularly difficult to genotype with rapid evolving next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology. Long amplicons containing repetitive sequences result in alignment and genotyping errors. Stutters arising from polymerase slippage often result in reads with additional or...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-12-01; National Institute of General Medical Sciences; As whole-genome sequencing (WGS) becomes the gold standard tool for studying population genomics and medical applications, data on diverse non-European and admixed individuals are still scarce. Here, we present a high-coverage WGS dataset of 1,171 highly a...

Predicting phenotypes using SNPs present in those genes is important for forensic purpose. For this, the HIrisPlex tool was developed for eye and hair color prediction, with both models achieving high accuracy among Europeans...
