Project description:We have conducted a genome-wide analysis of spontaneous copy number variation (CNV) in the laboratory mouse. We used high resolution microarrays to identify 38 CNVs between 14 colonies of the C57BL/6 strain spanning ~967 generations of inbreeding, and examined these loci in 12 additional strains. It is clear from our results that many CNVs arise through a highly non-random process: 18 of 38 were the product of recurrent mutation, and rates of change vary roughly four orders of magnitude across different loci. These recurrent CNVs are distributed throughout the genome, affect 43 genes, and fluctuate in copy number over mere hundreds of generations, observations that raise questions about their contribution to natural variation.

Mouse Segmental Duplication and Copy-Number Variation

Project description:Detailed analyses of the clone-based genome assembly reveal that the recent duplication content of mouse (4.94%) is now comparable to that of human (5.5%), in contrast to previous estimates from the whole-genome shotgun sequence assembly. The architecture of mouse and human genomes differ dramatically; most mouse duplications are organized into discrete clusters of tandem duplications that are depleted for genes/transcripts and enriched for LINE1 and LTR retroposons. We assessed copy-number variation of the C57BL/6J duplicated regions within 15 mouse strains used for genetic association studies, sequencing, and the mouse phenome project. We determined that over 60% of these basepairs are polymorphic between the strains (on average 20 Mbp of copy-number variable DNA between different mouse strains). Our data suggest that different mouse strains show comparable, if not greater, copy-number polymorphism when compared to human; however, such variation is more locally restricted. We show large and complex patterns of inter-strain copy-number variation restricted to large gene families associated with spermatogenesis, pregnancy, viviparity, phermone signaling, and immune response.
