Prediction and replication from case-control sequencing studies using custom genotyping and additional sequencing [PDF]

arXiv, 2013
We present two results about using allele-count (AC) burdens of rare SNPs discovered in a case-control sequencing study for prediction or validation in an external prospective study. When genotyping only the SNPs polymorphic in the sequence data, the phenotype to AC correlation tends to be larger in the replication data than the primary study ...

Harnessing Photo‐Energy Conversion in Nanomaterials for Precision Theranostics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Harnessing photo‐energy conversion in nanomaterials enables precision theranostics through light‐driven mechanisms such as photoluminescence, photothermal, photoelectric, photoacoustic, photo‐triggered surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and photodynamic processes. This review explores six fundamental principles of photo‐energy conversion, recent

Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the CDH18 gene affect growth traits in Hu sheep

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Growth traits are critical economic traits in sheep. Genetic polymorphism has a great influence on the improvement of sheep traits. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of cadherin 18 (CDH18) gene polymorphisms on growth traits in Hu sheep.

Deep Learning Classification of Polygenic Obesity using Genome Wide Association Study SNPs [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
In this paper, association results from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are combined with a deep learning framework to test the predictive capacity of statistically significant single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) associated with obesity phenotype.

MMP-2 geno-phenotype is prognostic for colorectal cancer survival, whereas MMP-9 is not. [PDF]

, 2008
The prognostic significance of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and tumour protein levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 was evaluated in 215 colorectal cancer patients.

Modification and Patterning of Thiolate‐Anchored Self‐Assembled Monolayers with UV Light

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This paper reviews the relevant work regarding the modification and patterning of thiolate‐anchored self‐assembled monolayers with UV light. Performed alone or in combination with a subsequent exchange reaction, introducing specific molecular substituents, this approach enables the preparation of functional binary SAMs and the creation of complex ...

Are Silicon Nanoparticles an Interstellar Dust Component? [PDF]

arXiv, 2000
Silicon nanoparticles (SNPs) have been proposed as the source of the observed "extended red emission" (ERE) from interstellar dust. We calculate the thermal emission expected from such particles in a reflection nebula such as NGC 2023, and in the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM). Pure neutral Si SNPs would emit at 16.4 micron (um), while Si/SiO2 SNPs (

Genome-wide association studies of inflammatory bowel disease in German shepherd dogs [PDF]

, 2018
Canine Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is considered a multifactorial disease caused by complex interactions between the intestinal immune system, intestinal microbiota and environmental factors in genetically susceptible individuals.

Development and Validation of Machine Learning‐Based Marker for Early Detection and Prognosis Stratification of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study constructs a stacked multimodal machine learning model for nonalcoholic fattly liver disease (NAFLD) by integrating genetic and clinical features, and synthesize an in‐silico quantitative marker (ISNLD) that enables personalized risk stratification for intrahepatic and extrahepatic outcomes of high‐risk individuals of NAFLD.

Detecting SNPs with interactive effects on a quantitative trait [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Here we propose a test to detect effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on a quantitative trait. Significant SNP-SNP interactions are more difficult to detect than significant SNPs, partly due to the massive amount of SNP-SNP combinations. We propose to move away from testing interaction terms, and move towards testing whether an individual ...
