Genome-wide association study of circulating vitamin D levels

open access: yesHuman Molecular Genetics, 2010
The primary circulating form of vitamin D, 25-hydroxy-vitamin D [25(OH)D], is associated with multiple medical outcomes, including rickets, osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis and cancer. In a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 4501 persons of European

Lipid droplets fuel SARS-CoV-2 replication and production of inflammatory mediators

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2020
Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that make use of the host metabolic machineries to meet their biosynthetic needs, identifying the host pathways essential for the virus replication may lead to potential targets for therapeutic intervention ...

Detailed kinship estimation for detecting bias among breeding families in a reintroduced population of the endangered bagrid catfish Tachysurus ichikawai

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
In the process of captive breeding and reintroduction of endangered animal species, it is crucial to minimize familial bias in reproductive success during the reintroduction phase to preserve genetic diversity. In this study, we attempted to identify the familial lineage of individuals of the endangered bagrid fish Tachysurus ichikawai born at the ...

Optimal SNP filtering strategies for pedigree reconstruction: A case study with wild red‐spotted masu salmon population

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
In this article, we tested optimal SNP filtering strategies for accurate parentage assignment and pedigree reconstruction for a wild population of red‐spotted masu salmon, Oncorhynchus masou ishikawae. We found that mid‐point filtering in terms of call rate and minor allele frequency performs well for pedigree reconstruction.

Comparison of kinship‐identification methods for robust stock assessment using close‐kin mark–recapture data for Pacific bluefin tuna

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
In this study, we compared three methods for kinship identification using different algorithms in samples of wild Pacific bluefin tuna and generated genotyping data. The three methods resulted in different numbers of inferred kinship pairs for both generated and actual data. Particularly for the half‐sibling pairs, considerable number of false‐positive

Hijacking the BAF complex: the mechanistic interplay of ARID1A and EWS::FLI1 in Ewing sarcoma

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Ewing sarcoma is driven by the EWS::FLI1 fusion protein, which disrupts gene expression by hijacking the BAF complex via ARID1A. ARID1A's ability to form biomolecular condensates is crucial for tumor growth, making it a potential therapeutic target. However, targeting these transient condensates is challenging, requiring further research. Ewing sarcoma,

Whole‐genome sequencing of cell‐free DNA reveals DNA of tumor origin in plasma from patients with colorectal adenomas

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumor‐informed whole‐genome sequencing (MRD‐EDGESNV) was applied to detect circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in patients with colorectal adenomas. Using a 95% specificity threshold, established from stage III colorectal cancer patients, ctDNA was detected in 50% of symptomatic and 25% of asymptomatic adenoma cases with median tumor fractions of 5.9 × 10−5 ...

Haplotype structure, LD blocks, and uneven recombination within the LRP5 gene.

open access: yesGenome Research, 2003
Patterns of linkage disequilibrium (LD) in the human genome are beginning to be characterized, with a paucity of haplotype diversity in "LD blocks," interspersed by apparent "hot spots" of recombination. Previously, we cloned and physically characterized

Mammalian lipid droplets are innate immune hubs integrating cell metabolism and host defense

open access: yesScience, 2020
Cells drop a bomb on pathogens Lipid droplets (LDs) accumulate in cells to serve as lipid storage organelles. They are also an attractive source of nutrients for many pathogens. Bosch et al.

Classification of acute myeloid leukemia based on multi‐omics and prognosis prediction value

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The Unsupervised AML Multi‐Omics Classification System (UAMOCS) integrates genomic, methylation, and transcriptomic data to categorize AML patients into three subtypes (UAMOCS1‐3). This classification reveals clinical relevance, highlighting immune and chromosomal characteristics, prognosis, and therapeutic vulnerabilities.
