Background We present the genomic sequence of Tamar Kangaroo (Macropus eugenii), a member of the Kangaroo family and the first representative of a symbolic leaping mammal sequenced in Australia. Tammar has many unusual biological properties such as longest dormancy time of all mammalian embryos, extremely synchronized seasonal breeding, and long term accurate breast feeding in clearly defined pouches. Like other marsupials, it creates a very young cubs with a few very large chromosomes that make it a valuable model for genomics, reproduction and development. The resulting genome was subjected to 2 × coverage sequencing using Sanger sequencing and the genome assembly was constructed through further next generation sequencing and extensive physical and linkage map integration. We also determined the sequence of the tamar transcriptome at many tissues and developmental time points. Analysis of these data revealed mammalian reproduction, development, genome evolution, innovation of reproductive and mammalian genes, rapid evolution of germline genes, incomplete locus-specific X inactivation It was. We also observed a new retrotransposon and a highly reorganized major histocompatibility gene complex. Many of them are located outside the complex. The novel microRNA of the Tamer HOX cluster reveals a new potential mammalian HOX regulatory element. CONCLUSIONS Analysis of these resources will deepen our understanding of the evolution of marsa genes and can be used to identify marsupial-specific, conserved noncoding elements in a range of biological systems including reproduction, development and immunity And identify important genes. The biology and genome of animals and mammals provides new insights.

With the help of the four sequencing centers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University PhD, Baylor College of Medicine, Washington University Medical School and J. Craig Vent University - Data Analysis and Coordination Center (DACC) and several researchers HMP 1 45 There were institutional collaborators in the laboratory, and research accomplished its purpose. Researchers began grabbing the scenery of human microbiome. Publicly available data over 14 TB were obtained from this study, after which the study was studied and shared for further study. ("There is currently no data of 14 megabytes, which is not very important recently, since the human genome is terabyte, this is not a big problem.")

At Baylor Medical College scientists and researchers are looking for genetic changes that may cause Eredy's syndrome using a new approach to microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH). This technology includes DNA chips, microscope slide sizes, and hundreds of thousands of small DNA fragments.

Many genome data are generated in research centers and small laboratories around the world. Many local biobanks collect and sequence human DNA. Projects in this field have 10 00 genomes, uk 10 k, and 6,500 exons. They are all independent databases of human genome information. It is also very important to note that this characteristic of genetic information is very sensitive. Based on the latest scientific research, suppose you have acquired sequence data and unknown individuals. In that case, you can predict sex, height, sound, face shape, skin color, hair. This allows you to find the exact information in the file from the properties of the DNA file. Why is not it good?

Virologist Paul Ling oversees the EEHV Leading Research Center at Baylor College of Medicine. He and his colleagues monitored elephants near the Houston Zoo each week by searching for virus particles in the blood and fuselage mucus. If found quickly enough, you can treat with antiviral drugs. Because not all treatments succeeded, they are trying to develop a vaccine. Ling has determined the sequence of the genome of the strain, it caused 90% of the elephant's death. However, if scientists can cultivate it for reproduction in the laboratory, they can better study how EEHV 1 makes it sensitive to it. But this work did not happen until the church team chased the interest in extinction and paid attention to the laboratory door of Lin.
