Characterization of six human disease-associated inversion polymorphisms (2009)
Antonacci, Francesca, Kidd, Jeffrey M., Marques-Bonet, Tomas, Ventura, Mario, Siswara, Priscillia, Jiang, Zhaoshi, ...
The human genome is a highly dynamic structure that shows a wide range of genetic polymorphic variation. Unlike other types of structural variation, little is known about inversion variants within...
McKernan, Kevin Judd, Peckham, Heather E., Costa, Gina L., McLaughlin, Stephen F., Fu, Yutao, Tsung, Eric F., ...
We describe the genome sequencing of an anonymous individual of African origin using a novel ligation-based sequencing assay that enables a unique form of error correction that improves the raw...
Haplotype sorting using human fosmid clone end-sequence pairs (2008)
Kidd, Jeffrey M., Cheng, Ze, Graves, Tina, Fulton, Bob, Wilson, Richard K., Eichler, Evan E.
An important goal of human genetics and genomics is to understand the complete spectrum of genetic variation across a specific human haplotype. By combining information from a dense SNP map with...
Population Stratification of a Common APOBEC Gene Deletion Polymorphism (2007)
Jeffrey M. Kidd, Tera L. Newman, Eray Tuzun, Rajinder Kaul, Evan E. Eichler
The APOBEC3 gene family plays a role in innate cellular immunity inhibiting retroviral infection, hepatitis B virus propagation, and the retrotransposition of endogenous elements. We present a...

Death and Resurrection of the Human IRGM Gene
Bekpen, Cemalettin, Marques-Bonet, Tomas, Alkan, Can, Antonacci, Francesca, Leogrande, Maria Bruna, Ventura, Mario, ...
Immunity-related GTPases (IRG) play an important role in defense against intracellular pathogens. One member of this gene family in humans, IRGM, has been recently implicated as a risk factor for...
Extensive Copy-Number Variation of the Human Olfactory Receptor Gene Family
Young, Janet M., Endicott, RaeLynn M., Parghi, Sean S., Walker, Megan, Kidd, Jeffrey M., Trask, Barbara J.
As much as a quarter of the human genome has been reported to vary in copy number between individuals, including regions containing about half of the members of the olfactory receptor (OR) gene...
