Project description:It has been shown that the human genome contains extensive copy number variations (CNVs). Investigating the medical and evolutionary impacts of CNVs requires the knowledge of locations, sizes and frequency distribution of CNVs within and between populations. However, CNV study of Chinese populations has been underrepresented considering the same efforts in other populations. Here we constructed a Chinese CNV map by using Affymetrix SNP 6 array. We did population analysis with other HapMap populations and identified population specific CNVs as well as candidate CNV regions under selection. Our results serve as a useful resource in further evolutionary and medical studies.

Project description:Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells are frequently used to produce recombinant HIV envelope protein gp120. In this study, we characterized the CHO proteins that become co-purified with gp120 when lectin affinity chromatography is used. Many of co-purified CHO proteins identified were extracellular matrix components. We verified a method for separating gp120 from these CHO proteins with anion exchange chromatography, and assessed the biochemical activity of gp120 preparations with and without co-purified CHO proteins.
