Population Genetics unveils Reflex method for sequencing long contiguous DNA regions

Targeted sequencing is used to study specific parts of a genome that may be involved in disease or other relevant clinical traits. Unveiling the role of these genomic regions usually requires interrogating long contiguous DNA sequences, such as a gene ... [Published Cambridge Network - Apr 17 2013]

Prof. Byrappa Venkatesh, Research Director IMCB, whose group was involved in the project said, "The coelacanth with its distinctive fleshy fins represents an intermediary phase in the evolution of land animals from aquatic fishes. By comparing the genomes of coelacanth, human and other vertebrates our group has been able to discover gene regulatory elements that played a key role in the development of our limbs and fingers as well as our ability to detect air-borne odorants. Mutations in these elements can potentially lead to genetic diseases."
