    Description: Long-range regulatory elements are difficult to discover experimentally; however, they tend to be conserved among mammals, suggesting that cross-species sequence comparisons should identify them. To search for regulatory sequences, we examined about 1 megabase of orthologous human and mouse sequences for conserved noncoding elements with greater than or equal to 70% identity over at least 100 base pairs. Ninety noncoding sequences meeting these criteria were discovered, and the analysis of 15 of these elements found that about 70% were conserved across mammals. Characterization of the largest element in yeast artificial chromosome transgenic mice revealed it to be a coordinate regulator of three genes, interleukin-4, interleukin-13, and interleukin-5, spread over 120 kilobases.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Loots, G G -- Locksley, R M -- Blankespoor, C M -- Wang, Z E -- Miller, W -- Rubin, E M -- Frazer, K A -- AI30663/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- GM-5748202/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- HL56385/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Apr 7;288(5463):136-40.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Genome Sciences Department, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10753117" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The emergence of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in deer and elk in an increasingly wide geographic area, as well as the interspecies transmission of bovine spongiform encephalopathy to humans in the form of variant Creutzfeldt Jakob disease, have raised concerns about the zoonotic potential of CWD. Because meat consumption is the most likely means of exposure, it is important to determine whether skeletal muscle of diseased cervids contains prion infectivity. Here bioassays in transgenic mice expressing cervid prion protein revealed the presence of infectious prions in skeletal muscles of CWD-infected deer, demonstrating that humans consuming or handling meat from CWD-infected deer are at risk to prion exposure.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Angers, Rachel C -- Browning, Shawn R -- Seward, Tanya S -- Sigurdson, Christina J -- Miller, Michael W -- Hoover, Edward A -- Telling, Glenn C -- 2RO1 NS040334-04/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- N01-AI-25491/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2006 Feb 24;311(5764):1117.

    Description: Although the application of sequencing-by-synthesis techniques to DNA extracted from bones has revolutionized the study of ancient DNA, it has been plagued by large fractions of contaminating environmental DNA. The genetic analyses of hair shafts could be a solution: We present 10 previously unexamined Siberian mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) mitochondrial genomes, sequenced with up to 48-fold coverage. The observed levels of damage-derived sequencing errors were lower than those observed in previously published frozen bone samples, even though one of the specimens was 〉50,000 14C years old and another had been stored for 200 years at room temperature. The method therefore sets the stage for molecular-genetic analysis of museum collections.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Gilbert, M Thomas P -- Tomsho, Lynn P -- Rendulic, Snjezana -- Packard, Michael -- Drautz, Daniela I -- Sher, Andrei -- Tikhonov, Alexei -- Dalen, Love -- Kuznetsova, Tatyana -- Kosintsev, Pavel -- Campos, Paula F -- Higham, Thomas -- Collins, Matthew J -- Wilson, Andrew S -- Shidlovskiy, Fyodor -- Buigues, Bernard -- Ericson, Per G P -- Germonpre, Mietje -- Gotherstrom, Anders -- Iacumin, Paola -- Nikolaev, Vladimir -- Nowak-Kemp, Malgosia -- Willerslev, Eske -- Knight, James R -- Irzyk, Gerard P -- Perbost, Clotilde S -- Fredrikson, Karin M -- Harkins, Timothy T -- Sheridan, Sharon -- Miller, Webb -- Schuster, Stephan C -- HG002238/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2007 Sep 28;317(5846):1927-30.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Centre for Ancient Genetics, University of Copenhagen, Universitetsparken 15, DK-2100 Copenhagen, Denmark.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17901335" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: We sequenced 28 million base pairs of DNA in a metagenomics approach, using a woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) sample from Siberia. As a result of exceptional sample preservation and the use of a recently developed emulsion polymerase chain reaction and pyrosequencing technique, 13 million base pairs (45.4%) of the sequencing reads were identified as mammoth DNA. Sequence identity between our data and African elephant (Loxodonta africana) was 98.55%, consistent with a paleontologically based divergence date of 5 to 6 million years. The sample includes a surprisingly small diversity of environmental DNAs. The high percentage of endogenous DNA recoverable from this single mammoth would allow for completion of its genome, unleashing the field of paleogenomics.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Poinar, Hendrik N -- Schwarz, Carsten -- Qi, Ji -- Shapiro, Beth -- Macphee, Ross D E -- Buigues, Bernard -- Tikhonov, Alexei -- Huson, Daniel H -- Tomsho, Lynn P -- Auch, Alexander -- Rampp, Markus -- Miller, Webb -- Schuster, Stephan C -- HG02238/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2006 Jan 20;311(5759):392-4.
