SURVIV for survival analysis of mRNA isoform variation
Nature Communications, 2016 The rapid accumulation of clinical RNA-seq data sets has provided the opportunity to associate mRNA isoform variations to clinical outcomes. Here we report a statistical method SURVIV (Survival analysis of mRNA Isoform Variation), designed for ...

Cell Reports, 2019 Summary: Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4α (HNF4α) is a dimeric transcription factor that controls as much as 60% of all liver genes. However, how it achieves such broad functional diversity is unknown. Here, we show that inflammation and immune pathway genes

Gene Duplication and the Evolution of Hemoglobin Isoform Differentiation in Birds*
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2012 Background: The functional significance of hemoglobin heterogeneity remains a mystery. Results: In adult birds, the HbD isoform (related to embryonic hemoglobin) exhibits distinct oxygenation properties relative to the major HbA isoform.

Landscape of BRAF transcript variants in human cancer
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.We investigate the annotation of BRAF variants, focusing on protein‐coding BRAF‐220 (formerly BRAF‐reference) and BRAF‐204 (BRAF‐X1). The IsoWorm pipeline allows us to quantify these variants in human cancer, starting from RNA‐sequencing data. BRAF‐204 is more abundant than BRAF‐220 and impacts patient survival.

The Actin Gene Family: Function Follows Isoform
Cytoskeleton, 2010 Although actin is often thought of as a single protein, in mammals it actually consists of six different isoforms encoded by separate genes. Each isoform is remarkably similar to every other isoform, with only slight variations in amino acid sequence ...

A nucleotide‐independent, pan‐RAS‐targeted DARPin elicits anti‐tumor activity in a multimodal manner
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.We report a Designed Ankyrin Repeat Protein that binds and inhibits RAS proteins, which serve as central cell signaling hubs and are essential for the progression of many cancers. Its unique feature is that it does not discriminate between different RAS isoforms or mutations and is capable of binding to RAS in both its active (GTP‐bound) and inactive ...

Endocrinology, 2010 Maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3) is an imprinted gene highly expressed in the human pituitary. However, MEG3 expression is lost in human gonadotroph-derived pituitary adenomas and most human tumor cell lines.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Human cytomegalovirus infection is common in normal prostate epithelium, prostate tumor tissue, and prostate cancer cell lines. CMV promotes cell survival, proliferation, and androgen receptor signaling. Anti‐CMV pharmaceutical compounds in clinical use inhibited cell expansion in prostate cancer models in vitro and in vivo, motivating investigation ...
