Five novel cis-regulatory deletions of SOX10 cause Waardenburg syndrome type II

open access: yesFrontiers in Audiology and Otology
IntroductionWaardenburg syndrome (WS) is a genetic disorder characterized by hearing loss, hypopigmentation, and distinct facial features. Despite > 60% molecular diagnosis rate for WS patients, pathogenic variants within coding regions are ...

Analysis of KLF4 regulated genes in cancer cells reveals a role of DNA methylation in promoter- enhancer interactions

open access: yesEpigenetics, 2018
Recent studies have revealed an unexpected role of DNA methylation at promoter regions in transcription activation. However, whether DNA methylation at enhancer regions activates gene expression and influences cellular functions remains to be determined.

HPA* Enhancements

open access: yesProceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment, 2007
In video games, pathfinding must be done quickly and accurately. Not much computational time is allowed for pathfinding, but realistic looking paths are required. One approach to pathfinding which attempts to satisfy both of these constraints is to perform pathfinding on abstractions of the map.

Enhancer features that drive formation of transcriptional condensates

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2018
Enhancers, DNA elements that regulate gene expression, contain transcription factor (TF) binding sites. TFs bind short sequence motifs that are present throughout the genome at much higher frequency than active enhancers, and so the features that define ...

Development and Implementation of a Disease‐Targeted Storybook as a Clinical Tool for Children With Acute Leukemia

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Although significant progress has been made in childhood leukemia survival, healthcare providers, and caregivers often face challenges in explaining this disease to patients. Disease‐targeted storybooks have been proposed as a tool to facilitate the understanding of diagnoses and treatment.

Streamlined scanning for enhancer elements in Drosophila melanogaster

open access: yesBioTechniques, 2016
Enhancer elements in most eukaryotic organisms are often positioned at a great distance away from the transcription start site of the gene they regulate. Complex three-dimensional chromatin organization and insulators usually guide and limit the range of

Modification of enhancer chromatin: what, how and why?

open access: yesMolecules and Cells, 2013
Emergence of form and function during embryogenesis arises in large part through cell type- and cell state- specific variation in gene expression patterns, mediated by specialized cis-regulatory elements called enhancers.

Animal‐Assisted Activities With Therapy Dogs in Pediatric Oncology: A Multicenter Survey of the Current Status, Implementation, and Challenges in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Animal‐assisted activities (AAAs) with therapy dogs have shown positive effects on patient well‐being and quality of life in various areas of medicine, including pediatric oncology. However, research on this topic is limited. The aim of this study is to present the current status of AAA in pediatric oncology in Germany, Austria, and
