Case-control association testing of common variants from sequencing of DNA pools. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
While genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been successful in identifying a large number of variants associated with disease, the challenge of locating the underlying causal loci remains.

Gene Flooding: Proposal to Flood Invasive Populations With Inbred Individuals as a Form of Low‐Tech Genetic Control [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Genetic controls are at the cutting edge of invasive species management whereby modified individuals are released into target populations to induce declines by disrupting their reproductive potential.

Detection of pathogenic variants in Alzheimer’s disease related genes in Bulgarian patients by pooled whole-exome sequencing

Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2023
In an effort to better understand the complex genetic background of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) we performed high-coverage whole-exome sequencing of a DNA pool assembled of 66 Bulgarian AD patients.

Saturation genome editing of 11 codons and exon 13 of BRCA2 coupled with chemotherapeutic drug response accurately determines pathogenicity of variants.

PLoS Genetics, 2023
The unknown pathogenicity of a significant number of variants found in cancer-related genes is attributed to limited epidemiological data, resulting in their classification as variant of uncertain significance (VUS). To date, Breast Cancer gene-2 (BRCA2)

Variation and optionality in clitic climbing in Argentinean Spanish

Isogloss, 2015
Since Cinque’s (2006:31-32) four-way typology of languages in terms of clitic climbing (CC, herein), those in which CC displays optionality, such as Argentinean Spanish (ArgSp, herein), remain poorly understood. This paper aims to address this need. Here,

A two-dimensional pooling strategy for rare variant detection on next-generation sequencing platforms. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
We describe a method for pooling and sequencing DNA from a large number of individual samples while preserving information regarding sample identity. DNA from 576 individuals was arranged into four 12 row by 12 column matrices and then pooled by row and ...

High-throughput functional analysis of regulatory variants using a massively parallel reporter assay

STAR Protocols, 2023
Summary: Association studies describe genetic associations between noncoding variants and disease susceptibility; however, they do not provide functional insight into the underlying molecular mechanisms of these variants.

Optimizing the number of variants tracked to follow disease burden with circulating tumor DNA assays in metastatic colorectal cancer

Therapeutic Advances in Medical Oncology, 2023
Background: The number of somatic mutations detectable in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is highly heterogeneous in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).
