Construction of a nurse shark (Ginglymostoma cirratum) bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library and a preliminary genome survey (2006)

Luo, Meizhong, Kim, HyeRan, Kudrna, Dave, Sisneros, Nicholas B, Lee, So-Jeong, Mueller, Christopher, ...

Abstract Background Sharks are members of the taxonomic class Chondrichthyes, the oldest living jawed vertebrates. Genomic studies of this group, in comparison to representative species in other...

Comparative sequencing of human and chimpanzee MHC class I regions unveils insertions/deletions as the major path to genomic divergence

Anzai, Tatsuya, Shiina, Takashi, Kimura, Natsuki, Yanagiya, Kazuyo, Kohara, Sakae, Shigenari, Atsuko, ...

Despite their high degree of genomic similarity, reminiscent of their relatively recent separation from each other (≈6 million years ago), the molecular basis of traits unique to humans vs. their...

Rapid Evolution of Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I Genes in Primates Generates New Disease Alleles in Humans via Hitchhiking Diversity

Shiina, Takashi, Ota, Masao, Shimizu, Sayoko, Katsuyama, Yoshihiko, Hashimoto, Nami, Takasu, Miwa, ...

A plausible explanation for many MHC-linked diseases is lacking. Sequencing of the MHC class I region (coding units or full contigs) in several human and nonhuman primate haplotypes allowed an...
