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 ...

Short-lived AUF1 p42-binding mRNAs of RANKL and BCL6 have two distinct instability elements each

Lukas Kühn, Giovanna Ambrosini, Barbara Grisoni-Neupert, Philipp Bucher, Ramona Pauchard-Batschulat, Otto Hagenbüchle

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 ...

HDAC4 Does Not Act as a Protein Deacetylase in the Postnatal Murine Brain In Vivo

Reversible protein acetylation provides a central mechanism for controlling gene expression and cellular signaling events. It is governed by the antagonistic commitment of two enzymes families: the histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and the histone deacetyl ...

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 ...

Automated Analysis of Rare Biomarkers Using a Magnetic Bead Surface Coverage Assay Coupled with Chaotic Mixing on a Microfluidic Chip

Hüseyin Cumhur Tekin

Extremely sensitive protein detection is crucial for early diagnosis and monitoring of diseases. Present day’s limit of detection for an antibody-antigen recognition-based immunoassay in serum without having to use special target antigen amplification tech ...

Genotyping Microarray for CSNB-Associated Genes

PURPOSE. Congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous retinal disease. Although electroretinographic (ERG) measurements can discriminate clinical subgroups, the identification of the underlying genetic defects ...

Chronic wound healing by fetal cell therapy may be explained by differential gene profiling observed in fetal versus old skin cells

Dominique Pioletti, Corinne Scaletta, Nathalie Hirt-Burri

Engineering of fetal tissue has a high potential for the treatment of acute and chronic wounds of the skin in humans as these cells have high expansion capacity under simple culture conditions and one organ donation can produce Master Cell Banks which can ...

Selecting control genes for RT-QPCR using public microarray data

Darlene Goldstein, Mauro Delorenzi, Vlad Popovici

Background: Gene expression analysis has emerged as a major biological research area, with real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-QPCR) being one of the most accurate and widely used techniques for expression profiling of selected genes. In o ...

Splicy: a web-based tool for the prediction of possible alternative splicing events from Affymetrix probeset data

Philipp Bucher

BACKGROUND: The Affymetrix technology is nowadays a well-established method for the analysis of gene expression profiles in cancer research studies. However, changes in gene expression levels are not the only way to link genes and disease. The existence of ...

An oestrogen-dependent model of breast cancer created by transformation of normal human mammary epithelial cells

Cathrin Brisken, Stéphanie Joëlle André, Maryse Fiche

INTRODUCTION: About 70% of breast cancers express oestrogen receptor alpha (ESR1/ERalpha) and are oestrogen-dependent for growth. In contrast with the highly proliferative nature of ERalpha-positive tumour cells, ERalpha-positive cells in normal breast tis ...
