Transposable element subfamily annotation has a reproducibility problem

Mobile DNA, 2021
Background Transposable element (TE) sequences are classified into families based on the reconstructed history of replication, and into subfamilies based on more fine-grained features that are often intended to capture family history.

Tracking the origin of two genetic components associated with transposable element bursts in domesticated rice

Nature Communications, 2019
Transposable elements (TEs) shape genome evolution through periodic bursts of amplification. In this study prior knowledge of the mPing/Ping/Pong TE family is exploited to track their copy numbers and distribution in genome sequences from 3,000 ...

Unraveling LINE‐1 retrotransposition in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The novel RetroTest method allows the detection of L1 activation in clinical samples with low DNA input, providing global L1 activity and the identification of the L1 source element. We applied RetroTest to a real‐world cohort of HNSCC patients where we reported an early L1 activation, with more than 60% of T1 patients showing L1 activity.

Stress response, behavior, and development are shaped by transposable element-induced mutations in Drosophila

bioRxiv, 2018
Mapping genotype to phenotype is challenging because of the difficulties in identifying both the traits under selection and the specific genetic variants underlying these traits. Most of the current knowledge of the genetic basis of adaptive evolution is

UR‐cycleGAN: Denoising full‐body low‐dose PET images using cycle‐consistent Generative Adversarial Networks

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This study aims to develop a CycleGAN based denoising model to enhance the quality of low‐dose PET (LDPET) images, making them as close as possible to standard‐dose PET (SDPET) images. Methods Using a Philips Vereos PET/CT system, whole‐body PET images of fluorine‐18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F‐FDG) were acquired from 37 patients to ...

Molecular dissection of a natural transposable element invasion

Genome Research, 2018
The first tracking of the dynamics of a natural invasion by a transposable element (TE) provides unprecedented details on the establishment of host defense mechanisms against TEs. We captured a D.

Translating Muscle RNAseq Into the Clinic for the Diagnosis of Muscle Diseases

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Approximately half of patients with hereditary myopathies remain without a definitive genetic diagnosis after DNA next‐generation sequencing (NGS). Here, we implemented transcriptome analysis of muscle biopsies as a complementary diagnostic tool for patients with muscle disease but no definitive genetic diagnosis after exome ...

Timing and Predictive Value of Clinical Conditions Preceding Multiple Sclerosis in the UK Biobank

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients often experience a higher incidence of clinical conditions before diagnosis, suggesting a prodromal phase. However, their predictive value and temporal trajectories remain underexplored. We investigated these aspects using the large UK Biobank's population‐based cohort, which provided clinical ...

Dynamics of Transposable Element Invasions with piRNA Clusters

bioRxiv, 2018
In mammals and in invertebrates the proliferation of a newly invading transposable element (TE) is thought to be stopped by a random insertion of one member of the invading TE family into a piRNA cluster. This view is known as the trap model.

Moderators and mediators of pain and function outcomes in a new service delivery model for management of knee osteoarthritis in primary care (PARTNER): Secondary exploratory analysis of a randomized controlled trial

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective Explore moderators and mediators influenced changes in pain and function in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA) receiving a new model of primary care service delivery (PARTNER), at 12 months (ACTRN12617001595303). Methods Secondary analyses of a cluster randomized controlled trial comparing PARTNER to usual general practitioner‐delivered ...
