ZTF-8 interacts with the 9-1-1 complex and is required for DNA damage response and double-strand break repair in the C. elegans germline. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 Germline mutations in DNA repair genes are linked to tumor progression. Furthermore, failure in either activating a DNA damage checkpoint or repairing programmed meiotic double-strand breaks (DSBs) can impair chromosome segregation.

Association between reproductive traits and four microsatellites in Brangus-Ibagé cattle
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2005 The aim of the present study was to verify associations between reproductive efficiency and four microsatellite markers located in synteny with genes involved in the regulation of reproductive mechanisms.

Feeding state, insulin and NPR-1 modulate chemoreceptor gene expression via integration of sensory and circuit inputs. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 Feeding state and food availability can dramatically alter an animals' sensory response to chemicals in its environment. Dynamic changes in the expression of chemoreceptor genes may underlie some of these food and state-dependent changes in chemosensory ...

Natural genetic variation of integrin alpha L (Itgal) modulates ischemic brain injury in stroke. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 During ischemic stroke, occlusion of the cerebrovasculature causes neuronal cell death (infarction), but naturally occurring genetic factors modulating infarction have been difficult to identify in human populations.

The struggle to find reliable results in exome sequencing data: Filtering out Mendelian errors
Frontiers in Genetics, 2014 Next Generation Sequencing studies generate a large quantity of genetic data in a relatively cost and time efficient manner and provide an unprecedented opportunity to identify candidate causative variants that lead to disease phenotypes.

Modification of tRNA(Lys) UUU by elongator is essential for efficient translation of stress mRNAs. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 The Elongator complex, including the histone acetyl transferase Sin3/Elp3, was isolated as an RNA polymerase II-interacting complex, and cells deficient in Elongator subunits display transcriptional defects. However, it has also been shown that Elongator

A model-based analysis of GC-biased gene conversion in the human and chimpanzee genomes. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 GC-biased gene conversion (gBGC) is a recombination-associated process that favors the fixation of G/C alleles over A/T alleles. In mammals, gBGC is hypothesized to contribute to variation in GC content, rapidly evolving sequences, and the fixation of ...

ttm-1 encodes CDF transporters that excrete zinc from intestinal cells of C. elegans and act in a parallel negative feedback circuit that promotes homeostasis. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 Zinc is an essential metal involved in a wide range of biological processes, and aberrant zinc metabolism is implicated in human diseases. The gastrointestinal tract of animals is a critical site of zinc metabolism that is responsible for dietary zinc ...
