Bbs7 was identified as the most likely candidate gene for the observed effect. Comparative sequence analysis showed a 1578 bp deletion in intron 8 of Bbs7 in BFMI mice. A CTCF-element is located inside this deletion. To investigate the functional effect of this deletion, it was introduced into B6N mice using CRISPR/Cas9.

In this case-control study, we have used mutation-specific PCR (confirmed by Sanger sequencing) to detect the presence of a pathologically significant PR polymorphic variant called as PROGINS.

Investigation of the interaction between two lncRNAs in cancer biology is a novel topic.

PSMG3-AS1 was upregulated, while MEG3 was downregulated in EC. Across EC tissues, the expression of PSMG3-AS1 and MEG3 were inversely correlated. In EC cells, overexpression of PSMG3-AS1 and MEG3 resulted in the downregulation of each other. In cell proliferation assay, PSMG3-AS1 promoted cell proliferation, and MEG3 inhibited cell proliferation.

An alternative low-cost approach is low-pass whole genome sequencing (WGS) followed by imputation. Rather than relying on high levels of genotype confidence at a set of select loci, low-pass WGS and imputation rely on the combined information from millions of randomly sampled low-confidence genotypes. To investigate low-pass WGS and imputation in the dog, we assessed accuracy and performance by downsampling 97 high-coverage (> 15×) WGS datasets from 51 different breeds to approximately 1× coverage, simulating low-pass WGS. Using a reference panel of 676 dogs from 91 breeds, genotypes were imputed from the downsampled data and compared to a truth set of genotypes generated from high-coverage WGS. Using our truth set, we optimized a variant quality filtering strategy that retained approximately 80% of 14 M imputed sites and lowered the imputation error rate from 3.0% to 1.5%. Seven million sites remained with a MAF > 5% and an average imputation quality score of 0.95. Finally, we simulated the impact of imputation errors on outcomes for case-control GWAS, where small effect sizes were most impacted and medium-to-large effect sizes were minorly impacted. These analyses provide best practice guidelines for study design and data post-processing of low-pass WGS-imputed genotypes in dogs.</p>","PeriodicalId":412165,"journal":{"name":"Mammalian genome : official journal of the International Mammalian Genome Society","volume":" ","pages":"213-229"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8913487/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39399139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our activities regarding the collection, preservation, quality control, and distribution of mouse resources have been supported by the research community, including evaluations and guidance on advancing social and research needs, as well as the operations and future direction of the BRC. Expenditure for collection, preservation, and quality-control operations of the BRC, as a national core facility, has been funded by the government, while distribution has been separately funded by users' reimbursement fees. We have collected over 9000 strains created mainly by Japanese scientists including Nobel laureates and researchers in cutting-edge fields and distributed mice to 7000 scientists with 1500 organizations in Japan and globally. Our users have published 1000 outstanding papers and a few dozen patents. The collected mouse resources are accessible via the RIKEN BRC website, with a revised version of the searchable online catalog. In addition, to enhance the visibility of useful strains, we have launched web corners designated as the \"Mouse of the Month\" and \"Today's Tool and Model.\" Only high-demand strains are maintained in live colonies, while other strains are cryopreserved as embryos or sperm to achieve cost-effective management. Since 2007, the RIKEN BRC has built up a back-up facility in the RIKEN Harima branch to protect the deposited strains from disasters. Our mice have been distributed with high quality through the application of strict microbial and genetic quality control programs that cover a globally accepted pathogens list and mutated alleles generated by various methods. Added value features, such as information about users' publications, standardized phenotyping data, and genome sequences of the collected strains, are important to facilitate the use of our resources.
