Project description:<p> This study is part of the '<i>First 1,000 Days of Life and Beyond</i>' study at the Inova Translational Medicine Institute. Whole-genome sequencing data from 1,291 parent-offspring trios was used to study the properties of clustered <i>de novo</i> mutations. The maternal clusters were found to be enriched in regions with accelerated maternal mutation rate and show distinct mutational signatures. </p> <p>For additional details, please refer to: "<i>Germline de novo mutation clusters arise during oocyte aging in genomic regions with increased double-strand break incidence</i>".

Project description:Comparison of whole genome exome array CGH to a commercial SNP array for detection of de novo and homozygous copy number variants in 99 autism simplex trios. Will update once manuscript is prepared.
Project description:In order to study parent-of-origin effects on gene expression, we performed RNAseq analysis (100bp single end reads) of 165 children who formed part of mother/father/child trios where genotype data was available from the HapMap and/or 1000 Genomes Projects. Based on phased genotypes at heterozygous SNP positions, we generated allelic counts for expression of the maternal and paternal alleles in each individual. This analysis reveals significant bias in the expression of the parental alleles for dozens of genes, including both previously known and novel imprinted transcripts.
Project description:We describe a multiple de novo CNV (MdnCNV) phenomenon in which individuals with genomic disorders carry five to ten constitutional de novo CNVs. Five such families are studied, which consists of four trios and one singleton. Various array platforms are used to interogate these families to identify de novo CNVs.

Project description:This is the validation data for candidate de novo CNV calls made in the asthma trios by Itsara et al., Genome Research 2010. In this study, de novo CNV calls in the asthma data set were initially made with Illumina 550K SNP arrays. Validation was performed with custom Nimblegen array CGH for which DNA was available. de novo CNVs would be expected to validate in the child of each trio tested, and not be detected in either parent. We attempted to validate 9 de novo CNVs in the same number of trios. In 3 cases, paternal DNA was not available leaving a total of 24 distinct samples for hybridization. All samples were hybridized against a previously well-characterized reference (NA15510; see Tuzun et al., Nat Genet 2005).
