An introduction to scripting in Ruby for biologists (2009)

Aerts, Jan, Law, Andy

Abstract The Ruby programming language has a lot to offer to any scientist with electronic data to process. Not only is the initial learning curve very shallow, but its reflection and...

Genomic analysis reveals extensive gene duplication within the bovine TRB locus (2009)

Connelley, Timothy, Aerts, Jan, Law, Andy, Morrison, W Ivan

Abstract Background Diverse TR and IG repertoires are generated by V(D)J somatic recombination. Genomic studies have been pivotal in cataloguing the V, D, J and C genes present in the various TR/IG...

Promoting coherent minimum reporting guidelines for biological and biomedical investigations: the MIBBI project (2008)

Taylor, Chris F., Field, Dawn, Sansone, Susanna-Assunta, Aerts, Jan, Apweiler, Rolf, Asburner, Michael, ...

The Minimum Information for Biological and Biomedical Investigations (MIBBI) project provides a resource for those exploring the range of extant minimum information checklists and fosters coordinated...

An assessment of population structure in eight breeds of cattle using a whole genome SNP panel (2008)

McKay, Stephanie D, Schnabel, Robert D, Murdoch, Brenda M, Matukumalli, Lakshmi K, Aerts, Jan, Coppieters, Wouter, ...

Abstract Background Analyses of population structure and breed diversity have provided insight into the origin and evolution of cattle. Previously, these studies have used a low density of...

Whole genome linkage disequilibrium maps in cattle (2007)

McKay, Stephanie D, Schnabel, Robert D, Murdoch, Brenda M, Matukumalli, Lakshmi K, Aerts, Jan, Coppieters, Wouter, ...

Abstract Background Bovine whole genome linkage disequilibrium maps were constructed for eight breeds of cattle. These data provide fundamental information concerning bovine genome organization which...

A physical map of the bovine genome (2007)

Snelling, Warren M, Chiu, Readman, Schein, Jacqueline E, Hobbs, Matthew, Abbey, Colette A, Adelson, David L, ...

Abstract Background Cattle are important agriculturally and relevant as a model organism. Previously described genetic and radiation hybrid (RH) maps of the bovine genome have been used to identify...

A physical map of the bovine genome (2007)

Chiu, Readman, Schein, Jacqueline, Hobbs, Matthew, Abbey, Colette, Adelson, David, ...

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Cattle are important agriculturally and relevant as a model organism. Previously described genetic and radiation hybrid (RH) maps of the bovine genome have been used to identify...

A second generation radiation hybrid map to aid the assembly of the bovine genome sequence (2006)

Jann, Oliver C, Aerts, Jan, Jones, Michelle, Hastings, Nicola, Law, Andy, McKay, Stephanie, ...

Abstract Background Several approaches can be used to determine the order of loci on chromosomes and hence develop maps of the genome. However, all mapping approaches are prone to errors either...

A physical map of the chicken genome (2004)

Wallis, John W, Aerts, Jan, Groenen, Martien A M, Layman, Dan, Graves, Tina A, ...

Strategies for assembling large, complex genomes have evolved to include a combination of whole-genome shotgun sequencing and hierarchal map-assisted sequencing. Whole-genome maps of all types can...

A physical map of the bovine genome

Snelling, Warren M, Chiu, Readman, Schein, Jacqueline E, Hobbs, Matthew, Abbey, Colette A, Adelson, David L, ...

A new physical map of the bovine genome has been constructed by integrating data from genetic and radiation hybrid maps, and a new bovine BAC map, with the bovine genome draft assembly.
