Genomic stability and tumorigenesis

open access: yesSeminars in Cancer Biology, 2005
Cancer research needs to explain the observed incidence of cancer. Many factors determine this process, including: the number of susceptible cells in the tissue of origin; the number of normal cell divisions through which susceptible cells pass in normal development and turnover; the number of cell divisions during tumorigenesis; the selective ...

Immune Checkpoints in Viral Infections

open access: yesViruses, 2020
As evidence has mounted that virus-infected cells, such as cancer cells, negatively regulate the function of T-cells via immune checkpoints, it has become increasingly clear that viral infections similarly exploit immune checkpoints as an immune system ...

Cdc14 phosphatase counteracts Cdk-dependent Dna2 phosphorylation to inhibit resection during recombinational DNA repair

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) stimulates resection of DNA double-strand breaks ends to generate single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) needed for recombinational DNA repair.

Defending the genome from the enemy within:mechanisms of retrotransposon suppression in the mouse germline [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The viability of any species requires that the genome is kept stable as it is transmitted from generation to generation by the germ cells. One of the challenges to transgenerational genome stability is the potential mutagenic activity of transposable ...

The contribution of dormant origins to genome stability:from cell biology to human genetics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The ability of a eukaryotic cell to precisely and accurately replicate its DNA is crucial to maintain genome stability. Here we describe our current understanding of the process by which origins are licensed for DNA replication and review recent work ...

Whole-genome sequence-based analysis of thyroid function. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Normal thyroid function is essential for health, but its genetic architecture remains poorly understood. Here, for the heritable thyroid traits thyrotropin (TSH) and free thyroxine (FT4), we analyse whole-genome sequence data from the UK10K project (N=2 ...

Prophase-Specific Perinuclear Actin Coordinates Centrosome Separation and Positioning to Ensure Accurate Chromosome Segregation

open access: yesCell Reports, 2020
Summary: Centrosome separation in late G2/ early prophase requires precise spatial coordination that is determined by a balance of forces promoting and antagonizing separation. The major effector of centrosome separation is the kinesin Eg5.

STUbLs in chromatin and genome stability [PDF]

open access: yesBiopolymers, 2012
AbstractChromatin structure and function is based on the dynamic interactions between nucleosomes and chromatin‐associated proteins. In addition to the other post‐translational modifications considered in this review issue of Biopolymers, ubiquitin and SUMO proteins also have prominent roles in chromatin function.

Genome-wide association study of major depressive disorder: new results, meta-analysis, and lessons learned [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common complex disorder with a partly genetic etiology. We conducted a genome-wide association study of the MDD2000+ sample (2431 cases, 3673 screened controls and >1 M imputed single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)).
