DNMT3A mutation in a patient with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) 116.4 billion base pairs with paired-end 99.6% coverage of the genome. 1-base-pair deletion in DNMT3A at the amino acid position 723 DNMT3A encodes DNA methylation enzymes that catalyze the addition of a methyl group to the C residue of CpG nucleotides, which is often associated with reduced expression of the downstream gene. DNA methylation has long been hypothesized to contribute to cancers, no evidence. A total of 62 of 281 patients (22%) had mutations in DNMT3A. N Engl J Med. 2010 Dec 16;363(25):2424-33

Infectious Diseases (gene identification) virulence genes host susceptibility and resistance genes pathogen vaccination-response genes antibiotic sensitivity genes antibiotic resistance/tolerance genes vaccine Medication (antibiotics) Host/pathogen genes of interest can be identified by comparing genomic differences between two groups of host/pathogen samples (case vs. control, responsive vs. non-responsive, resistant vs. sensitive ….)
