Cancer N/S ratio

Saturday, October 20th, 2012

From XJM:

A few references about nonsynonymous/synonymous ratio in Cancer: Here is a Nature paper finding nonsynonymous/synonymous ratio to be 3:1 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2712719/

Here is an article reporting the ratio to be about 4:1
http://www.nature.com/ng/journal/v43/n11/full/ng.950.html

Doesn’t seem to refer to SIN, Dynasin or that much earlier work on structural interaction network

Exome sequencing and the genetic basis of complex traits

Sunday, September 30th, 2012

Figure 1 in a recent Nature Genetics paper useful for LOF — saturation of LoF, essentially something that describes how many LoF variants we see as we keep adding more samples :

QT:”
Basically, LoF variants are so enriched for ultra-rare variants that they show no sign of saturation, and the catalogue will continue to grow as more and more exomes are sequenced.
