Because of highly genetic and clinical heterogeneity, a molecular diagnosis of the lens disease remains a challenge. Methods： In this study, we tested a three-generation Chinese family with autosomal dominant CCs by targeted sequencing of 45 CC genes on next generation sequencing and evaluated the pathogenicity of the detected mutation by protein structure, pedigree validation, and molecular dynamics （MD） simulation. Results： A novel 15 bp deletion on GJA8 （c.426_440delGCTGGAGGGGACCCT or p. 143147delLEGTL） was detected in the family. The deletion, concerned with an in-frame deletion of 5 amino acid residues in a highly evolutionarily conserved region within the cytoplasmic loop domain of the gap junction channel protein connexin 50 （CxS0）, was in full cosegregation with the cataract phenotypes in the family but not found in 1100 control exomes. MD simulation revealed that the introduction of the deletion destabilized the Cx50 gap junction channel, indicating the deletion as a dominant-negative mutation, Conclusions： The above results support the pathogenic role of the 15 bp deletion on GJA8 in the Chinese family and demonstrate targeted genes sequencing as a resolution to molecular diagnosis of CCs.展开更多

Several genome-partitioning strategies to sequence selected subsets of the genome have emerged in the fields of phylogenomics and evolutionary genomics. In this review, we summarize the applications, advantages and limitations of four NGS-based genome- partitioning approaches in plant phylogenomics： genome skimming, transcriptome sequencing （RNA- seq）, restriction site associated DNA sequencing （RAD-Seq）, and targeted capture （Hyb-seq）. Of these four genome-partitioning approaches, targeted capture （especially Hyb-seq） shows the greatest promise for plant phy^ogenetics over the next fex~ years. This reviex~ wi~ aid ~esea^chers in their selection of appropriate genome-partitioning approaches to address questions of evolutionary scale, where we anticipate continued development and expansion ofwhole-genome sequencing strategies in the fields of plant phylogenomics and evolutionary biology research.展开更多
