AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the identification of human glycosylases involved in DNA repair and mutagenesis, referencing a list from a 2006 publication. The original poster seeks information on any additional glycosylases discovered since then, beyond those listed, which include UNG, SMUG1, MBD4, TDG, OGG1, MYH, NTHL1, MPG, NEIL1, NEIL2, NEIL3, and UDG2. Participants suggest using resources like ExPASy for up-to-date annotated protein sequences to track new discoveries in glycosylases and related proteins. The emphasis is on staying informed about recent findings in the field.

Hi I was wondering, if there were any human glycosylases,
other than these, I got this list from DNA repair and mutagenesis, Friedberg EC, Walker GC, Siede W, Wood RD, Schultz RA, Ellenberger T (2006) ASM Press, Washington, DC.

UNG
SMUG1
MBD4
TDG
OGG1
MYH
NTHL1
MPG
NEIL1
NEIL2
NEIL3
UDG2

But others may have been discovered since the list so I was wondering if they have been and if so which ones were, thanks

For known, up-to-date annotated protein sequences, I would suggest checking http://expasy.org" may also be useful in keeping one's self up to date on the latest sequence information, especially if there are putative proteins that have been identified in the nucleotide sequence.

Happy searching!

Thread 'I need help understanding this quote about recent Natural Selection'

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
