Project description:This is the validation data for candidate de novo CNV calls made in the CEU Hapmap by Itsara et al., Genome Research 2010. In this study, de novo CNV calls were initially made with Illumina 1M SNP arrays. Validation of CNV calls was performed with Nimblegen custom array CGH using the extended CEPH pedigrees. A truly de novo CNV would be unobserved in the first generation (CEU trio parents), validated in the second generation (CEU trio children), and assuming no selective effects, transmitted to approximately half of the individuals in the third generation. We attempted validation of 4 de novo CNVs in 3 extended CEPH pedigrees: 1358, 1408, and 1459.

We attempted validation of 4 de novo CNVs in 3 extended CEPH pedigrees: 1358, 1408, and 1459. 12 samples were hybridized in each of the three pedigrees (36 samples total) against a previously well-characterized reference (GM15510; see Tuzun et al., Nat Genet 2005).
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.

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).
Project description:We have identified de novo copy number variations (CNVs) generated in ageing bulls. Blood samples from eight bulls were collected and SNP arrayed in a prospective design over 30 months allowing us to differentiate de novo CNVs from constant CNVs that are present throughout the sampling period. Quite remarkably, the total number of CNVs doubled over the 30-month period, as we observed an almost equal number of de novo and constant CNVs (107 vs. 111 or 49% vs. 51%, respectively). Twice as many de novo CNVs emerged during the second half of the sampling schedule as in the first part. It suggests a dynamic generation of de novo CNVs in the bovine genome that becomes more frequent, as the age of the animal progresses. In a second experiment de novo CNVs were detected through in vitro ageing of bovine fibroblasts by sampling passage #5, #15 and #25. De novo CNVs also became more frequent, but the proportion of them was only ~25% of the total number of CNVs (21 vs. 64). Temporal generation of de novo CNVs resulted in increasing genome coverage. Genes and quantitative trait loci overlapping de novo CNVs were further investigated for ageing related functions.
