Lee-Carter mortality forecasting: a multi-country comparison of variants and extensions [PDF]

open access: yes
We compare the short- to medium-term accuracy of five variants or extensions of the Lee-Carter method for mortality forecasting. These include the original Lee-Carter, the Lee-Miller and Booth-Maindonald-Smith variants, and the more flexible Hyndman ...

Evaluation of association of HNF1B variants with diverse cancers : collaborative analysis of data from 19 genome-wide association studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background Genome-wide association studies have found type 2 diabetes-associated variants in the HNF1B gene to exhibit reciprocal associations with prostate cancer risk.

Get ready for short tandem repeats analysis using long reads-the challenges and the state of the art

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics
Short tandem repeats (STRs) are repetitive DNA sequences that contribute to genetic diversity and play a significant role in disease susceptibility. The human genome contains approximately 1.5 million STR loci, collectively covering around 3% of the ...

Ligand‐dependent transcriptional heterogeneity in cell cycle gene expression delays G1/S entry

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
EGF and HRG induce distinct G1/S progression programs in ErbB2‐amplified BT474 breast cancer cells. Despite activating the potent ErbB2–ErbB3 heterodimer, HRG does not accelerate cell‐cycle entry. Instead, EGF promotes earlier restriction‐point passage via ERK–FOS signaling, whereas HRG activates the AKT–MYC axis, driving transcriptional heterogeneity ...

Identification of low-frequency TRAF3IP2 coding variants in psoriatic arthritis patients and functional characterization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Introduction: In recent genome-wide association studies for psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and psoriasis vulgaris, common coding variants in the TRAF3IP2 gene were identified to contribute to susceptibility to both disease entities.

Advancing crop improvement through GWAS and beyond in mung bean

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
Accessing the underlying genetics of complex traits, especially in small grain pulses is an important breeding objective for crop improvement. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) analyze thousands of genetic variants across several genomes to identify

Emerging experimental and computational methods for studying redox‐regulated structural transitions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Redox reactions can reshape proteins and alter how they behave in cells, with important consequences for health and disease. This review explores emerging experimental and computational approaches for discovering these redox‐sensitive protein switches, revealing their structural effects, and predicting their behavior, opening new opportunities to ...

Circadian gene variants and susceptibility to type 2 diabetes : a pilot study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background Disruption of endogenous circadian rhythms has been shown to increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, suggesting that circadian genes might play a role in determining disease susceptibility.

Synergistic perspectives—How single‐molecule biophysics complement biochemical understanding

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss how ensemble biochemistry and single‐molecule approaches are complementary, outline commonly used single‐molecule techniques, and illustrate their relevance through two representative case studies: chromatin organization by SMC complexes and pathway choice during DNA double‐strand break repair.

Structural and functional studies on Nod Like Receptors: insights into NAIP/NLRC4 inflammasome formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Our immune system is under constant attack of invading pathogens. The initiation of an appropriate immune response that leads to clearance of these microorganisms and infected cells is dependent on the ability of the immune system to discern between ...
