Mouse Gcfc2 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Gcfc2 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Gcfc2 conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Gcfc2 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_177884 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000035125 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 6. 17 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TGA stop codon in exon 17 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000043195). Exon 5 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Gcfc2 gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP23-442L23 as template. Cas9, gRNA and targeting vector will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for cKO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Exon 5 starts from about 29.69% of the coding region. The knockout of Exon 5 will result in frameshift of the gene. The size of intron 4 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 2994 bp, and the size of intron 5 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 3358 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~616 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

No significant tandem repeat is found in the dot plot matrix. So this region is suitable for PCR screening or sequencing analysis. Overview of the GC Content Distribution Window size: 300 bp Sequence 12 Summary: Full Length(7116bp) | A(26.48% 1884) | C(19.83% 1411) | T(32.39% 2305) | G(21.3% 1516) Note: The sequence of homologous arms and cKO region is analyzed to determine the GC content. No significant high GC-content region is found. So this region is suitable for PCR screening or sequencing analysis.

  • Structural Variant Calling by Assembly in Whole Human Genomes: Applications in Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome by Matthew Kendzi
    STRUCTURAL VARIANT CALLING BY ASSEMBLY IN WHOLE HUMAN GENOMES: APPLICATIONS IN HYPOPLASTIC LEFT HEART SYNDROME BY MATTHEW KENDZIOR THESIS Submitted in partial FulFillment oF tHe requirements for the degree of Master of Science in BioinFormatics witH a concentration in Crop Sciences in the Graduate College of the University oF Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2019 Urbana, Illinois Master’s Committee: ProFessor MattHew Hudson, CHair ResearcH Assistant ProFessor Liudmila Mainzer ProFessor SaurabH SinHa ABSTRACT Variant discovery in medical researcH typically involves alignment oF sHort sequencing reads to the human reference genome. SNPs and small indels (variants less than 50 nucleotides) are the most common types oF variants detected From alignments. Structural variation can be more diFFicult to detect From short-read alignments, and thus many software applications aimed at detecting structural variants From short read alignments have been developed. However, these almost all detect the presence of variation in a sample using expected mate-pair distances From read data, making them unable to determine the precise sequence of the variant genome at the speciFied locus. Also, reads from a structural variant allele migHt not even map to the reference, and will thus be lost during variant discovery From read alignment. A variant calling by assembly approacH was used witH tHe soFtware Cortex-var for variant discovery in Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS). THis method circumvents many of the limitations oF variants called From a reFerence alignment: unmapped reads will be included in a sample’s assembly, and variants up to thousands of nucleotides can be detected, with the Full sample variant allele sequence predicted.

DD is characterized by deficits in different cognitive skills, including word reading, spelling, 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; rapid naming, and phonology. To investigate the genetic basis of DD, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of these skills within one of the largest studies available, including nine cohorts of reading-impaired and typically developing children of European ancestry (N = 2562–3468).

  • Chromosome Walking: a Novel Approach to Analyse Amino Acid Content of Human Proteins Ordered by Gene Position
    applied sciences Article Chromosome Walking: A Novel Approach to Analyse Amino Acid Content of Human Proteins Ordered by Gene Position Annamaria Vernone , Chiara Ricca, Gianpiero Pescarmona and Francesca Silvagno * Department of Oncology, University of Torino, Via Santena 5 bis, 10126 Torino, Italy; [email protected] (A.V.); [email protected] (C.R.); [email protected] (G.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Featured Application: In this work, we designed a new method of data mining, implemented as a free web application, and a novel protein analysis called chromosome walking, which together enhance the information retrieved from protein databases and ensure better exploitation of the huge amount of data collected in protein and genome databases for new potential translational and clinical applications. Abstract: Notwithstanding the huge amount of detailed information available in protein databases, it is not possible to automatically download a list of proteins ordered by the position of their codifying gene. This order becomes crucial when analyzing common features of proteins produced by loci or other specific regions of human chromosomes. In this study, we developed a new procedure that interrogates two human databases (genomic and protein) and produces a novel dataset of ordered proteins following the mapping of the corresponding genes. We validated and implemented the procedure to create a user-friendly web application. This novel data mining was used to evaluate the distribution of critical amino acid content in proteins codified by a human chromosome. For this purpose, we designed a new methodological approach called chromosome walking, which scanned Citation: Vernone, A.; Ricca, C.; the whole chromosome and found the regions producing proteins enriched in a selected amino acid.
