Deep Survey of GABAergic Interneurons: Emerging Insights From Gene-Isoform Transcriptomics. [PDF]
GABAergic interneuron diversity is a key feature in the brain that helps to create different brain activity patterns and behavioral states. Cell type classification schemes—based on anatomical, physiological and molecular features—have provided us with a

Splice Expression Variation Analysis (SEVA) for inter-tumor heterogeneity of gene isoform usage in cancer. [PDF]
Motivation Alternative splicing events (ASE) cause expression of a variable repertoire of potential protein products that are critical to carcinogenesis. Current methods to detect ASEs in tumor samples compare mean expression of gene isoforms relative to

Cross-ancestry atlas of gene, isoform, and splicing regulation in the developing human brain. [PDF]
Neuropsychiatric genome-wide association studies (GWASs), including those for autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia, show strong enrichment for regulatory elements in the developing brain.

IDP-ASE: haplotyping and quantifying allele-specific expression at the gene and gene isoform level by hybrid sequencing. [PDF]
Allele-specific expression (ASE) is a fundamental problem in studying gene regulation and diploid transcriptome profiles, with two key challenges: (i) haplotyping and (ii) estimation of ASE at the gene isoform level.

A bioinformatic survey of RNA isoform diversity and expression across 9 GTEx tissues using long-read sequencing data [PDF]
Background Even though alternative RNA splicing was discovered nearly 50 years ago (1977), we still understand very little about most isoforms arising from a single gene, including in which tissues they are expressed and if their functions differ.

Gene isoform specificity through enhancer-associated antisense transcription. [PDF]
Enhancers and antisense RNAs play key roles in transcriptional regulation through differing mechanisms. Recent studies have demonstrated that enhancers are often associated with non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), yet the functional role of these enhancer:ncRNA ...

A ratiometric catalog of protein isoform shifts in the cardiac fetal gene program [PDF]
Pathological cardiac remodeling is associated with the reactivation of fetal genes, yet the extent of the heart’s fetal gene program and its impact on proteome compositions remain incompletely understood.

Transcription of a 5’ extended mRNA isoform directs dynamic chromatin changes and interference of a downstream promoter [PDF]
Cell differentiation programs require dynamic regulation of gene expression. During meiotic prophase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, expression of the kinetochore complex subunit Ndc80 is downregulated by a 5’ extended long undecoded NDC80 transcript ...

Integrating whole genome and transcriptome sequencing to characterize the genetic architecture of isoform variation [PDF]
We present a whole-blood isoform ratio QTL (irQTL) resource by analyzing genome-wide isoform-to-gene expression ratios using sequencing data. In Framingham Heart Study (FHS, n = 2622) discovery, we identify over 1.1 million cis-irQTLs (minor allele ...
