Background
Genomic selection and estimation of genomic breeding values (GBV) are widely used in cattle and plant breeding. Several studies have attempted to detect population subdivision by investigating the structure of the genomic relationship matrix G. However, the question of how these effects influence GBV estimation using genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP) has received little attention.Methods
We propose a simple method to decompose G into two independent covariance matrices, one describing the covariance that results from systematic differences in allele frequencies between groups at the pedigree base (GA*) and the other describing genomic relationships (GS) corrected for these differences. Using this decomposition and Fst statistics, we examined whether observed genetic distances between genotyped subgroups within populations resulted from the heterogeneous genetic structure present at the base of the pedigree and/or from breed divergence. Using this decomposition, we tested three models in a forward prediction validation scenario on six traits using Brown Swiss and dual-purpose Fleckvieh cattle data. Model 0 (M0) used both components and is equivalent to the model using the standard G-matrix. Model 1 (M1) used GS only and model 2 (M2), an extension of M1, included a fixed genetic group effect. Moreover, we analyzed the matrix of contributions of each base group (Q) and estimated the effects and prediction errors of each base group using M0 and M1.Results
The proposed decomposition of G helped to examine the relative importance of the effects of base groups and segregation in a given population. We found significant differences between the effects of base groups for each breed. In forward prediction, differences between models in terms of validation reliability of estimated direct genomic values were small but predictive power was consistently lowest for M1. The relative advantage of M0 or M2 in prediction depended on breed, trait and genetic composition of the validation group. Our approach presents a general analogy with the use of genetic groups in conventional animal models and provides proof that standard GBLUP using G yields solutions equivalent to M0, where base groups are considered as correlated random effects within the additive genetic variance assigned to the genetic base. 相似文献22.

Background
Molecular genetic studies on rare tumour entities, such as bone tumours, often require the use of decalcified, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue (dFFPE) samples. Regardless of which decalcification procedure is used, this introduces a vast breakdown of DNA that precludes the possibility of further molecular genetic testing. We set out to establish a robust protocol that would overcome these intrinsic hurdles for bone tumour research.Findings
The goal of our study was to establish a protocol, using a modified DNA isolation procedure and quality controls, to select decalcified samples suitable for array-CGH testing. Archival paraffin blocks were obtained from 9 different pathology departments throughout Europe, using different fixation, embedding and decalcification procedures, in order to preclude a bias for certain lab protocols. Isolated DNA samples were subjected to direct chemical labelling and enzymatic labelling systems and were hybridised on a high resolution oligonucleotide chip containing 44,000 reporter elements. Genomic alterations (gains and losses) were readily detected in most of the samples analysed. For example, both homozygous deletions of 0.6 Mb and high level of amplifications of 0.7 Mb were identified.Conclusions
We established a robust protocol for molecular genetic testing of dFFPE derived DNA, irrespective of fixation, decalcification or sample type used. This approach may greatly facilitate further genetic testing on rare tumour entities where archival decalcified, formalin fixed samples are the only source. 相似文献23.

Background
Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) are enteropathogenic strains identified by the aggregative adhesion (AA) pattern that share the capability to form biofilms. Citrobacter freundii is classically considered as an indigenous intestinal species that is sporadically associated with diarrhea. 相似文献26.

TROSY-based triple resonance experiments are essential for protein backbone assignment of large biomolecular systems by solution NMR spectroscopy. In a survey of the current Bruker pulse sequence library for TROSY-based experiments we found that several sequences were plagued by artifacts that affect spectral quality and hamper data analysis. Specifically, these experiments produce sidebands in the 13C(t 1) dimension with inverted phase corresponding to 1HN resonance frequencies, with approximately 5% intensity of the parent 13C crosspeaks. These artifacts originate from the modulation of the 1HN frequency onto the resonance frequency of 13Cα and/or 13Cβ and are due to 180° pulses imperfections used for 1H decoupling during the 13C(t 1) evolution period. These sidebands can become severe for CAi, CAi?1 and/or CBi, CBi?1 correlation experiments such as TROSY-HNCACB. Here, we implement three alternative decoupling strategies that suppress these artifacts and, depending on the scheme employed, boost the sensitivity up to 14% on Bruker spectrometers. A class of comparable Agilent/Varian pulse sequences that use WALTZ16 1H decoupling can also be improved by this method resulting in up to 60–80% increase in sensitivity. 相似文献

Preprotein-controlled catalysis in the helicase motor of SecA 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The cornerstone of the functionality of almost all motor proteins is the regulation of their activity by binding interactions with their respective substrates. In most cases, the underlying mechanism of this regulation remains unknown. Here, we reveal a novel mechanism used by secretory preproteins to control the catalytic cycle of the helicase 'DEAD' motor of SecA, the preprotein translocase ATPase. The central feature of this mechanism is a highly conserved salt-bridge, Gate1, that controls the opening/closure of the nucleotide cleft. Gate1 regulates the propagation of binding signal generated at the Preprotein Binding Domain to the nucleotide cleft, thus allowing the physical coupling of preprotein binding and release to the ATPase cycle. This relay mechanism is at play only after SecA has been previously 'primed' by binding to SecYEG, the transmembrane protein-conducting channel. The Gate1-controlled relay mechanism is essential for protein translocase catalysis and may be common in helicase motors. 相似文献
