Using population-specific add-on polymorphisms to improve genotype imputation in underrepresented populations

Jacques Fellay, Zhi Ming Xu, Sina Rüeger

Genome-wide association studies rely on the statistical inference of untyped variants, called imputation, to increase the coverage of genotyping arrays. However, the results are often suboptimal in populations underrepresented in existing reference panels ...

Regulation of mRNA stability by RNA-protein interactions contributes significantly to quantitative aspects of gene expression. We have identified potential mRNA targets of the AU-rich element binding protein AUF1. Myc-tagged AUF1 p42 was induced in mouse N ...

Personal receptor repertoires: olfaction as a model

Sebastian Martin Waszak

Background: Information on nucleotide diversity along completely sequenced human genomes has increased tremendously over the last few years. This makes it possible to reassess the diversity status of distinct receptor proteins in different human individual ...
