Analysis of populations within the UAE using tandem repeat DNA markers
This research has been carried out to study the UAE population structure, particularly as the UAE has an unusual population composition. Transient workers from Indian sub-continental outnumber the native Arabic population by approximately three (60%) to one (20%). Other Arab populations make up …

Probabilistic modelling of somatic alterations in bulk tissue and single cells using repeat DNA
… method to amplify and sequence more than 10,000 repeat regions across the genome was recently developed, called FAST-SeqS. However, current computational methods do not make effective use of this low-cost assay. This limits its application to clinical medicine and to biomedical research. In this …

Genes: Multigene Families, Control of Gene Expression, Genetic contributions to Human Diseases, including Chromosomal Fragile Sites and ‘Dynamic’ and ‘Non-self’ Mutations
… their roles in biology, 2. identification of the DNA sequence elements required for hormonal and heavy metal control of metallothionein gene expression 3. discovery of at least some of the necessary and sufficient conditions for the appearance of fragile sites on chromosomes, and their consequent …

DIRECT REPEATS AND DELETIONS IN MITOCHONDRIAL DNA: CASUAL AND EVOLUTIONARY ASPECTS
… to understand the role of sequence motifs and DNA misalignments in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) deletion mutagenesis. Meta-analysis of age-related deletion breakpoints indicated that in human and rhesus monkey but not in mouse and rat, the average distance observed between a mtDNA breakpoint and …

Understanding angiosperm genome interactions and evolution: insights from sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) and the carrot family (Apiaceae)
… forces in plant evolution. The transfer of DNA into a genome adds genetic diversity and successfully incorporated genes can retain their original function or develop new functions through mutation. While there are trends and hypotheses for the frequency of transfers, age of transfers, and …
