Introduction: Components of the immune response have previously been associated with pathophysiology atopic dermatitis (AD), specifically Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) Class II region via genome-wide association studies, however exact elements not identified. Methods: This study examines genetic variation HLA genes using next generation sequencing (NGS) and evaluates resultant amino acids, particular attention on binding site residues, for associations AD. The Genetics AD cohort was used to...
HLA allelic variation has been well studied and documented in many parts of the world. However, African populations have relatively under‐represented studies variation. We characterized from 489 individuals belonging to 13 ethnically diverse rural communities countries Botswana, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Tanzania, known practice traditional subsistence lifestyles using next generation sequencing (Illumina) long‐reads Oxford Nanopore Technologies. identified 342 distinct alleles among 11 targeted...
We have developed a protocol regarding the genomic characterization of MICA gene by next generation sequencing (NGS). The amplicon includes full length and is about 13 kb. A total 156 samples were included in study. Ninety-seven these previously characterized at legacy methods (Sanger or sequence specific oligonucleotide) used to evaluate accuracy, precision, specificity, sensitivity assay. An additional 59 DNA unknown ethnicity volunteers from United States only genotyped NGS. Samples...
A number of methods have been devised to address the need for targeted genomic resequencing. One these methods, region-specific extraction (RSE) is characterized by capture long DNA fragments (15-20 kb) magnetic beads, after enzymatic extension oligonucleotides hybridized selected regions. Facilitating selection most appropriate oligos targeting a region interest, satisfying properties temperature (Tm) and entropy (ΔG), while minimizing formation primer-dimers in pooled experiment, therefore...
The human Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) is an approximately 4 Mb genomic segment on Chromosome 6 that plays a pivotal role in the immune response. Despite its importance various traits and diseases, complex nature makes it challenging to accurately characterize routine basis. We present novel approach allowing targeted sequencing de novo haplotypic assembly of MHC region heterozygous samples, using long-read technologies. Our validated two reference family trios, African-American...
