Comparative genomic hybridization to arrays, or array-CGH (aCGH) is a technique that allows genome-wide investigation of gains and losses of DNA sequences with a resolution at least 2 order of magnitude higher than classical cytogenetics. We first implemented aCGH at the Institute of Bioscience of University of São Paulo (IBUSP) in 2004 with the support of the CEPID - Human Genome Researc…
a) Description of the Center and its characteristic features. The Center will focus on three main aspects: basic research on the human genome focusing on genetic disorders and normal population variation in different ethnic groups: A) genetic service directed to families with affected patients or ‘at-risk’ for genetic disorders. This service aims at the prevention of genetic disorders (th…
The project aims to estimate a number of population genetic parameters in isolates ("quilombo" remnants) from Vale do Ribeira, through the analysis of their mating structure (with special emphasis on the determination of inbreeding levels), measures of population substructuring and ethnic composition. This will be achieved through the genealogical analysis of isolates and the frequencies …
