Is there any difference in terms of personal healthcare between complete DNA sequencing and SNPs genotyping? Sequencing gives the researcher data on rare or private mutations that are not on the genotyping arrays. |

Primary function of the enzyme lipoprotein lipase No. All cells need fats, primarily to build membranes and to store in vesicles for later conversion to energy. Storage is not restricted to adipocytes. |

Linkage and LD: quantitative or qualitative? This is a good explanation with a fine example. It can be added that the r^2 value can be between 1 (complete LD) and 0 (zero, no LD whatsoever as with markers on different chromosomes). Yes, we and many others use a cutoff of r^2 > 0.8 to denote strong LD. However, values of 0.4 and above are not to be discounted as having no LD. |

How many genes do we share with our mother? I like the physical vs abstract take on this. |

How many genes do we share with our mother? Nice answer, +1. Actually, recent analysis of 1000 Genomes data shows that each person has some 25-40 homozygous LOF (loss of function) variants not found in either parent. Thus, one could lower the 100% figure to ~99.9% shared. |

Mouse meta-globin mRNA problem A) Is this a take-home exam question? 1) Yes, then I can't answer your questions for you. 2) No, well, I'll see if I have time tomorrow to get to it. |
