R6/2 transgenic mice with expanded CAG repeats (> 300) have a surprisingly prolonged disease progression and longer lifespan than prototypical parent R6/2 mice (carrying 150 CAGs); however, the mechanism of this phenotype amelioration is unknown. We compar ...
Blood flukes or schistosomes are the causative agents of human schistosomiasis, one of the major neglected tropical diseases. Draft genome sequences have been reported for schistosomes, but functional genomics tools are needed to investigate the role and e ...
Next-generation sequencing offers an unprecedented opportunity to jointly analyze cellular and viral transcriptional activity without prerequisite knowledge of the nature of the transcripts. SupT1 cells were infected with a vesicular stomatitis virus G env ...
Gene-disease associations studies are performed in an increasing number since the creation of the HapMap Project. These studies are used to investigate regions or genes in the genome for which one has an indication or a belief that they can be associated w ...
The identification of associations between IL28B variants and spontaneous clearance of hepatitis C virus (HCV) raises the issues of causality and of the net contribution of host genetics to the trait. To estimate more precisely the net effect of IL28B gene ...
Genome wide association studies (GWAS) and their replications that have associated DNA variants with myocardial infarction (MI) and/or coronary artery disease (CAD) are predominantly based on populations of European or Eastern Asian descent. Replication of ...
Several studies have shown that it is possible to detect cancer tissues based on gene expressions using methods of machine learning. The main problem with classifying gene expression data is to obtain accurate rules that are easy to interpret and provide i ...
Drosophila melanogaster is one of the most important genetic models and techniques such as reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) are being employed extensively for deciphering the genetics basis of physiological functions. In RT-qPCR, ...
This analysis is a follow-up to an earlier investigation of 182 genes selected as likely candidate genetic variations conferring susceptibility to anorexia nervosa (AN). As those initial case-control results revealed no statistically significant difference ...
High levels of HIV-1 replication during the chronic phase of infection usually correlate with rapid progression to severe immunodeficiency. However, a minority of highly viremic individuals remains asymptomatic and maintains high CD4+ T cell counts. This t ...
