Exome sequencing has been emerged as a primary method to identify detailed sequence variants associated with complex diseases including Crohn’s disease in the protein-coding regions of human genome. However, c...
Pathogenic mutations in PSEN1 are known to cause familial early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (EOAD) but common variants in PSEN1 have not been found to strongly influence late-onset AD (LOAD). The association of rar...
We explored premature stop-gain variants to test the hypothesis that variants, which are likely to have a consequence on protein structure and function, will reveal important insights with respect to the pheno...
The increasing availability of multiple types of genomic profiles measured from the same cancer patients has provided numerous opportunities for investigating genomic mechanisms underlying cancer. In particula...
Sequencing technologies are generating enormous amounts of read data, however assembly of genomes and metagenomes remain among the most challenging tasks. In this paper we study the comparison of genomes and m...
Tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-based therapy is a recommended treatment for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). However, a considerable group of CML patients do not respond well to the TKI therapy. ...
Multifunctional transcription factor (TF) gene EWS/EWSR1 is involved in various cellular processes such as transcription regulation, noncoding RNA regulation, splicing regulation, genotoxic stress response, and c...
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a lethal disease despite many proposed treatments. Recent studies have indicated that epigenetic therapy, which targets epigenetic effects, might be a new therapeutic...
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an autoimmune disease preferentially attacking children younger than five years worldwide. So far, the principal treatment to KD is the administration of Intravenous immunoglobulin (IV...
CpG islands (CGIs) are interspersed DNA sequences that have unusually high CpG ratios and GC contents. CGIs are typically located in the promoter of protein-coding genes. They normally lack DNA methylation but...
