Article

High-resolution mapping of copy-number alterations with massively parallel sequencing

Derek Y Chiang, Gad Getz, David B Jaffe, Michael J T O'Kelly, Xiaojun Zhao, Scott L Carter, Carsten Russ, Chad Nusbaum, Matthew Meyerson & Eric S Lander

Published online: 30 November 2008; | doi:10.1038/nmeth.1276

Massively parallel sequencing is a precise way to analyze copy-number variations given the right computational tools. An algorithm now facilitates the detection and fine mapping of copy-number gains and losses from millions of short sequence reads.

Stable knockdown of microRNA in vivo by lentiviral vectors

Bernhard Gentner, Giulia Schira, Alice Giustacchini, Mario Amendola, Brian D Brown, Maurilio Ponzoni & Luigi Naldini

Published online: 30 November 2008; | doi:10.1038/nmeth.1277

To study microRNA function in vivo, the authors optimize lentiviral-driven expression of microRNA target sequences in mice and show dose-dependent inhibition of microRNA-mediated regulation of reporter constructs as well as of natural microRNA targets. With the inhibition of a miR-223, they can phenocopy the knockout of this microRNA.


Until print versions of AOP papers are published, they should be cited in the style "Author(s) Nature Methods advance online publication, day month year (doi:10.1038/nmethXXXXX)". Once the print version (identical to the AOP) is published, it should be cited as follows: "Author(s) Nature Methods volume, page (year); advance online publication, (doi:10.1038/nmethXXXXX)".
