Schuler GD, Boguski MS, Stewart EA, Stein LD, Gyapay G, Rice K, White RE, Rodriguez-Tome P, Aggarwal A, Bajorek E, et al. Chromosomal distribution of 320 genes from a brain cDNA library. Polymeropoulos MH, Xiao H, Sikela JM, Adams MD, Venter JC. After the discovery in 1992 that the functional activation of the human cerebral cortex (due to oxygenation and hemodynamic changes) can be explored by NIRS, human functional brain mapping research has gained a new dimension. Initial assessment of human gene diversity and expression patterns based upon 83 million nucleotides of cDNA sequence. This review is aimed at celebrating the upcoming 20th anniversary of the birth of human functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). One of these challenges is data storage: a mouse brain could generate an exabyte worth of. Serious technical challenges remain in scaling up synapse-level brain mapping to an entire mouse brain (500x bigger than H01), let alone an entire human brain. 1991 252:1651–1656.Īdams MD, Kerlavage AR, Fleischmann RD, Fuldner RA, Bult CJ, Lee NH, Kirkness EF, Weinstock KG, Gocayne JD, White O, et al. H01 is a petabyte-scale dataset, but is only one-millionth the volume of an entire human brain. Complementary DNA sequencing: expressed sequence tags and human genome project. This report demonstrates a novel approach for tissue specific transcriptome mapping using EST-based quantitative assessment.Īdams MD, Kelley JM, Gocayne JD, Dubnick M, Polymeropoulos MHM, Xiao H, Merril CR, Wu A, Olde B, Moreno RF, et al. We reveal that some regions enriched in brain genes show a significant decrease in gene expression in brain tumors, and, conversely that some regions lacking in brain genes show an increased level of gene expression in brain tumors. ESTs from brain tumor tissues have also been mapped to the human genome working draft. Some regions on the genome are dense with brain-enriched genes while some regions lack brain-enriched genes, suggesting a significant correlation between distribution of genes along the chromosome and tissue type.

Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) from the public dbEST and proprietary Incyte LifeSeq databases were used to derive a transcript map in conjunction with the working draft assembly of the human genome sequence.Įxamination of ESTs derived from brain tissues (excluding brain tumor tissues) suggests that these genes are distributed on chromosomes in a non-random fashion. Genome wide transcriptome maps can provide tools to identify candidate genes that are over-expressed or silenced in certain disease tissue and increase our understanding of the structure and organization of the genome. Today at the White House, President Obama unveiled the BRAIN Initiativea bold new research effort to revolutionize our understanding of the human mind and uncover new ways to treat, prevent, and cure brain disorders like Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, autism, epilepsy, and traumatic brain injury.
