SMaSH: A Benchmarking Toolkit for Human Genome Variant Calling

open access: yes, 2014
Motivation: Computational methods are essential to extract actionable information from raw sequencing data, and to thus fulfill the promise of next-generation sequencing technology. Unfortunately, computational tools developed to call variants from human

Cerebellar Integrity in the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis - Frontotemporal Dementia Continuum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) are multisystem neurodegenerative disorders that manifest overlapping cognitive, neuropsychiatric and motor features.

Rare Variants of Putative Candidate Genes Associated With Sporadic Meniere's Disease in East Asian Population [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Objectives: The cause of Meniere's disease (MD) is unclear but likely involves genetic and environmental factors. The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic basis underlying MD by screening putative candidate genes for MD.

NLC-2 graph recognition and isomorphism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
NLC-width is a variant of clique-width with many application in graph algorithmic. This paper is devoted to graphs of NLC-width two. After giving new structural properties of the class, we propose a $O(n^2 m)$-time algorithm, improving Johansson's ...

Structural variant calling: the long and the short of it [PDF]

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2019
AbstractRecent research into structural variants (SVs) has established their importance to medicine and molecular biology, elucidating their role in various diseases, regulation of gene expression, ethnic diversity, and large-scale chromosome evolution—giving rise to the differences within populations and among species. Nevertheless, characterizing SVs

Histiocytoid cardiomyopathy and microphthalmia with linear skin defects syndrome: phenotypes linked by truncating variants in NDUFB11 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Variants in NDUFB11, which encodes a structural component of complex I of the mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC), were recently independently reported to cause histiocytoid cardiomyopathy (histiocytoid CM) and microphthalmia with linear skin defects ...

Histone variants--the structure behind the function [PDF]

open access: yesBriefings in Functional Genomics and Proteomics, 2006
In recent years, the chromatin field has witnessed a renewed interest in histone variants as pertaining to their structural role, but mainly because of the functional specificity they impart to chromatin. In this review, I am going to discuss several of the most recent structural studies on core histone (H2A.Bbd, H2A.Z, H2A.X, macroH2A, H3.3, CENP-A ...

Structural Characterization of the Histone Variant macroH2A [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular and Cellular Biology, 2005
macroH2A is an H2A variant with a highly unusual structural organization. It has a C-terminal domain connected to the N-terminal histone domain by a linker. Crystallographic and biochemical studies show that changes in the L1 loop in the histone fold region of macroH2A impact the structure and potentially the function of nucleosomes.

The effects of common structural variants on 3D chromatin structure [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2020
Abstract Background Three-dimensional spatial organization of chromosomes is defined by highly self-interacting regions 0.1–1 Mb in size termed Topological Associating Domains (TADs). Genetic factors that explain dynamic variation in TAD structure are not understood.

Detecting large deletions at base pair level by combining split read and paired read data

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2017
Background Genomic structural variants (SV) play a significant role in the onset and progression of cancer. Genomic deletions can create oncogenic fusion genes or cause the loss of tumor suppressing gene function which can lead to tumorigenesis by ...
