  • Analysis of five gene sets in chimpanzees suggests decoupling between the action of selection on protein-coding and on noncoding elements
    Santpere Baró, Gabriel, 1981-; Carnero-Montoro, Elena, 1985-; Petit, Natalia; Serra, François; Hvilsom, Christina; Rambla de Argila, Jordi; Heredia Genestar, José María, 1985-; Halligan, Daniel L.; Dopazo, Hernán; Navarro i Cuartiellas, Arcadi, 1969-; Bosch Fusté, Elena (Oxford University Press, 2015)
    We set out to investigate potential differences and similarities between the selective forces acting upon the coding and noncoding regions of five different sets of genes defined according to functional and evolutionary ...
  • Copy number variation analysis in the great apes reveals species-specific patterns of structural variation
    Gazave, Elodie; Darre, Fleur; Morcillo Suárez, Carlos, 1969-; Petit, Natalia; Carreño Torres, Angel; Marigorta, Urko M.; Ryder, Oliver A.; Blancher, Antoine; Rocchi, Mariano; Bosch Fusté, Elena; Baker, Carl; Marquès i Bonet, Tomàs, 1975-; Eichler, Evan E.; Navarro i Cuartiellas, Arcadi, 1969- (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press (CSHL Press), 2011)
    Copy number variants (CNVs) are increasingly acknowledged as an important source of evolutionary novelties in the human lineage. However, our understanding of their significance is still hindered by the lack of primate CNV ...
  • Great ape genetic diversity and population history
    Prado Martínez, Javier, 1987-; Lorente-Galdós, Belén, 1981-; Santpere Baró, Gabriel, 1981-; Casals López, Ferran; Laayouni, Hafid, 1968-; Hernández Rodríguez, Jéssica, 1983-; Hernando Herráez, Irene, 1985-; Pybus Oliveras, Marc, 1985-; Petit, Natalia; Fernández Callejo, Marcos; Dabad, Marc; Carvalho, Tiago Loureiro de, 1987-; Melé Messeguer, Marta, 1982-; Comas, David, 1969-; Navarro i Cuartiellas, Arcadi, 1969-; Bertranpetit, Jaume, 1952-; Marquès i Bonet, Tomàs, 1975- (Nature Publishing Group, 2013)
    Most great ape genetic variation remains uncharacterized1, 2; however, its study is critical for understanding population history3, 4, 5, 6, recombination7, selection8 and susceptibility to disease9, 10. Here we sequence ...
  • HeT-A_pi1, a piRNA target sequence in the drosophila telomeric retrotransposon HeT-A, is extremely conserved across copies and species
    Petit, Natalia; Piñeyro, David; López-Panades, Elisenda; Casacuberta Suñer, Elena, 1972-; Navarro i Cuartiellas, Arcadi, 1969- (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2012)
    The maintenance of the telomeres in Drosophila species depends on the transposition of the non-LTR retrotransposons HeT-A, TAHRE and TART. HeT-A and TART elements have been found in all studied species of Drosophila ...
  • Identification of a functional variant in the KIF5A-CYP27B1-METTL1-FAM119B locus associated with multiple sclerosis
    Alcina, Antonio; Petit, Natalia; Navarro i Cuartiellas, Arcadi, 1969-; Matesanz, Fuencisla (BMJ Publishing Group, 2013)
    BACKGROUND AND AIM: Several studies have highlighted the association of the 12q13.3-12q14.1 region with coeliac disease, type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis (MS); however, the causal variants ...
