Recovering Direct Effects in Genetics: A Comparison [PDF]
In genetics it is often of interest to discover single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are directly related to a disease, rather than just being associated with it. Few methods exist, however, addressing this so-called `true sparsity recovery' issue.

Mosaic aneuploidy and uniparental disomy (UPD) arise from mitotic or meiotic events. There are differences between these mechanisms in terms of (i) impact on embryonic development; (ii) co-occurrence of mosaic trisomy and UPD and (iii) potential ...

Novel Bivalent mRNA‐LNP Vaccine for Highly Effective Protection against Pneumonic Plague
The study investigates mRNA‐lipid nanoparticle vaccines targeting Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague. Combined F1+LcrV mRNA vaccination elicited robust immune responses and protected mice against virulent wild‐type and atypical strains.

The roles of MMP8/MMP10 polymorphisms in ischemic stroke susceptibility
Abstract Background Ischemic stroke (IS), a multifactorial and polygenic disease, is the most common cause of death. This study aimed to determine the roles of MMP8/MMP10 polymorphisms in IS susceptibility in the Chinese Han population. Methods MMP8 rs1940475 and rs3765620, and MMP10 rs17860949 from 700 IS patients and 700 controls were genotyped by ...

wtest: an R Package for Testing Main and Interaction Effect in Genotype Data with Binary Traits [PDF]
This R package evaluates main and pair-wise interaction effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) via the W-test, scalable to whole genome-wide data sets. The package provides fast and accurate p-value estimation of genetic markers, as well as diagnostic checking on the probability distributions.

Fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 single nucleotide polymorphism Gly388Arg in head and neck carcinomas [PDF]
BACKGROUND Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is considered to be a progressive disease resulting from alterations in multiple genes regulating cell proliferation and differentiation like receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and members of the ...

A novel “prof” cocktail therapy is designed. It screens antigens, selects personalized antigen panels, engineers optimized CAR‐Vδ1 T cells, and tests in patient‐derived GBM organoids, offering hope for effective CAR‐T drugs against heterogeneous solid tumors. Abstract Various challenges, including tumor heterogeneity and inadequate T cell infiltration,

Abstract Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats‐associated protein (CRISPR/Cas9), an adaptive microbial immune system, has been exploited as a robust, accurate, efficient and programmable method for genome targeting and editing. This innovative and revolutionary technique can play a significant role in animal modeling, in vivo genome

Analyzing Genome-wide Association Study Data with the R Package genMOSS [PDF]
The R package (R Core Team (2016)) genMOSS is specifically designed for the Bayesian analysis of genome-wide association study data. The package implements the mode oriented stochastic search (MOSS) procedure as well as a simple moving window approach to identify combinations of single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with a response. The prior used
