Joint Modeling of Imaging and Genetics [PDF]

, 2013
We propose a unified Bayesian framework for detecting genetic variants associated with a disease while exploiting image-based features as an intermediate phenotype. Traditionally, imaging genetics methods comprise two separate steps. First, image features are selected based on their relevance to the disease phenotype.

Genetic model misspecification in genetic association studies [PDF]

BMC Research Notes, 2017
The underlying model of the genetic determinant of a trait is generally not known with certainty a priori. Hence, in genetic association studies, a dominant model might be erroneously modelled as additive, an error investigated previously. We explored this question, for candidate gene studies, by evaluating the sample size required to compensate for ...

Fused in sarcoma (FUS) inhibits milk production efficiency in mammals

Nature Communications
Efficient milk production in mammals confers evolutionary advantages by facilitating the transmission of energy from mother to offspring. However, the regulatory mechanism responsible for the gradual establishment of milk production efficiency in mammals,

European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline and EXPeRT Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Management of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms in Children and Adolescents

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) are extremely rare and clinically heterogeneous. Management has largely been extrapolated from adult practice. This European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline (ESCP), developed by the EXPeRT network in collaboration with adult NEN experts, provides (adult) evidence ...

Single-cell expression profiling of bat wing development

Nature Communications
Bats are the only true-flight mammals, with wings formed by elongated digits and wing membranes. Despite the uniqueness, the cellular and molecular aspects of bat wing development remain largely unknown. Here, we use single-cell transcriptomic sequencing

Metabolic Adaptation to Following Temperature Acclimation in Fish on the Yun-Gui Plateau

Biology
Temperature is crucial for fish physiology, as metabolism and related physiological processes are directly influenced by thermal energy. Against the backdrop of global warming, climate-induced variations in water temperature increasingly constrain fish ...

Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasm of the Pancreas in Children and Adolescents: Expert Recommendations

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPN) is a rare low‐grade malignant exocrine pancreatic tumor, mostly discovered during the second decade of life in females, with a very good prognosis, provided microscopically complete surgical excision is achieved.

An Accurate Model for Genetic Hitchhiking [PDF]

Genetics, 2008
AbstractWe suggest a simple deterministic approximation for the growth of the favored-allele frequency during a selective sweep. Using this approximation we introduce an accurate model for genetic hitchhiking. Only when Ns < 10 (N is the population size and s denotes the selection coefficient) are discrepancies between our approximation and ...

Regional and aging-specific cellular architecture of non-human primate brains

Genome Medicine
Background Deciphering the functionality and dynamics of brain networks across different regions and age groups in non-human primates (NHPs) is crucial for understanding the evolution of human cognition as well as the processes underlying brain ...

Ovarian Sex Cord Stromal Tumors in Children and Adolescents—The European Standard Clinical Practice Recommendations

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As part of the European Cooperative Study Group for Paediatric Rare Tumours initiative, we developed standard clinical practice guidelines for ovarian sex cord stromal tumors, based on comprehensive national and international cohort analyses, literature review, and a final expert consensus conference.
