Endometriosis: candidate genes [PDF]
Endometriosis is generally regarded as a benign disease but it does exhibit some characteristics reminiscent of malignancy. This raises the possibility that, like malignant diseases, the development of endometriosis may involve the acquisition of somatic genetic alterations in genes that regulate cell growth and differentiation.

Identification of a Candidate Gene for Astigmatism [PDF]
Astigmatism is a common refractive error that reduces vision, where the curvature and refractive power of the cornea in one meridian are less than those of the perpendicular axis. It is a complex trait likely to be influenced by both genetic and environmental factors.

Candidate gene prioritization with Endeavour [PDF]
Genomic studies and high-throughput experiments often produce large lists of candidate genes among which only a few are truly relevant to the disease, phenotype, or biological process of interest. Gene prioritization tackles this problem by ranking candidate genes by profiling candidates across multiple genomic data sources and ...

Probing the Gene eXpression Database for candidate genes [PDF]
We report on a strategy for the identification of candidate genes for multiple malformation syndromes using expression data available in public databases. The basis for this pilot study was the assumption that, for a multiple malformation syndrome, the expression pattern of the causative gene should at least cover the organs or tissues affected by the ...

RNA-Seq Transcriptome Analysis of Potato with Differential Tolerance to Bentazone Herbicide
Potato (Solanum tuberosum), an important food crop worldwide, is threatened by broadleaf weeds. Bentazone is an effective herbicide for controlling weeds; however, as a photosynthesis inhibitor, it can also affect potato plants.

miRNA contributions to pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis inferred from GWAS. [PDF]
ObjectiveOnset of multiple sclerosis (MS) occurs in childhood for approximately 5% of cases (pediatric MS, or ped-MS). Epigenetic influences are strongly implicated in MS pathogenesis in adults, including the contribution from microRNAs (miRNAs), small ...

Genetic Variation in Human Gene Regulatory Factors Uncovers Regulatory Roles in Local Adaptation and Disease [PDF]
Differences in gene regulation have been suggested to play essential roles in the evolution of phenotypic changes. Although DNA changes in cis-regulatory elements affect only the regulation of its corresponding gene, variations in gene regulatory factors
