The human gene mutation database (HGMD) is a collection of published germ-line mutations in nuclear genes that underlie , or are closely associated with human inherited disease.

For identifying the pathogenic mutation among thousands to millions of genomic variant is a major challenges and prioritization strategies are required. Current strategies for Mendelian disease gene identification by exome re-sequencing.

Next generation sequencing (NGS) has been used to identify new pathogenic mutations and genes causing rare genetic diseases. The analyses of NGS data is not trivial and required a technically and biologically rigorous pipeline that address the data quality , accurate variant filtration to minimize mistakes.

<h3>WHAT IS A HETEROZYGOUS CROSS</h3>

A heterozygous cross is a cross between two individuals that are heterozygous for two genes.

According to this question, white (W) fruit color is dominant over yellow (w). If two white-fruited individuals with genotypes that are unknown are crossed i.e. Ww × Ww.

The offsprings of this cross are as follows:

Therefore, the probability of obtaining a yellow-fruited plant from the cross is ¼ or 25%.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

The answer is CNS depression. Reduced activity in the brain can be caused by chemical agents such as opioids, ethanol, benzodiazepines, ethanol, and anticonvulsants. Metabolic issues such as hypoglycemia can also cause CNS depression or accidental inhalation of chemicals such as isopropyl alcohol, or butanol.
