Abstract: Genome-scale studies focusing on molecular profiling of cancers across tissue types have revealed a plethora of aberrations across the genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic scales. The significant molecular heterogeneity across individual tumors even within the same tissue context complicates deco...
Abstract: In response to the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, it is crucial to understand the origin, transmission, and evolution of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which relies on close surveillance of genomic diversity in clinical samples. Although the muta...
Abstract: Congenital hearing loss is a common disorder worldwide. Heterogeneous gene variation accounts for approximately 20–25% of such patients. We investigated a five-generation Chinese family with autosomal-dominant nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). No wave was detected in the pure-tone audi...
Abstract: The primary cilium, an important microtubule-based organelle, protrudes from nearly all the vertebrate cells. The motility of cilia is necessary for various developmental and physiological processes. Phosphoinositides (PIs) and its metabolite, PtdIns(4,5)P2, have been revealed to contribute to cilia...
Abstract: The long history of cultivation and breeding has left a variety of footprints in the genomes of Asian cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.). In this study, we focus on two types of genomic footprints, introgression and differentiation, in a population of more than 1200 Chinese rice accessions. We found ...
