Phenotypic variance explained by local ancestry in admixed African Americans

Frontiers in Genetics, 2015
We surveyed 26 quantitative traits and disease outcomes to understand the proportion of phenotypic variance explained by local ancestry in admixed African Americans. After inferring local ancestry as the number of African-ancestry chromosomes at hundreds

Unified theory of human genome reveals a constrained spatial chromosomal arrangement in interphase nuclei [PDF]

, 2015
We investigate a densely packed, non-random arrangement of forty-six chromosomes (46,XY) in human nuclei. Here, we model systems-level chromosomal crosstalk by unifying intrinsic parameters (chromosomal length and number of genes) across all pairs of ...

Genetic perturbation of PU.1 binding and chromatin looping at neutrophil enhancers associates with autoimmune disease

Nature Communications, 2021
PU.1 is a master regulator of myeloid development but its role in disease-relevant neutrophils is not well known. Here, the authors look at primary neutrophils from a human population and find that genetic variants affecting binding of PU.1 are ...

Genome dynamics of the human embryonic kidney 293 lineage in response to cell biology manipulations [PDF]

, 2014
The HEK293 human cell lineage is widely used in cell biology and biotechnology. Here we use whole-genome resequencing of six 293 cell lines to study the dynamics of this aneuploid genome in response to the manipulations used to generate common 293 cell ...

Expressing the human genome [PDF]

Nature, 2001
We have searched the human genome for genes encoding new proteins that may be involved in three nuclear gene expression processes: transcription, pre-messenger RNA splicing and polyadenylation. A plethora of potential new factors are implicated by sequence in nuclear gene expression, revealing a substantial but selective increase in complexity compared

Genetic variants associated with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome

Platelets, 2020
Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by defective biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles. Clinical manifestations include a bleeding diathesis due to a platelet delta storage pool deficiency ...

HDAC9 is implicated in atherosclerotic aortic calcification and affects vascular smooth muscle cell phenotype. [PDF]

, 2019
Aortic calcification is an important independent predictor of future cardiovascular events. We performed a genome-wide association meta-analysis to determine SNPs associated with the extent of abdominal aortic calcification (n = 9,417) or descending ...
