Fungal microbiota profile in newly-diagnosed treatment-naïve children with Crohn's disease
(Oxford University Press, 2016-11-03)BACKGROUND & AIMS: although increasing evidence suggests a role for fungi in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), data are scarce and mostly from adults. Our aim was to define the characteristics of fungal microbiota in ... -
Identification and Characterization of Cell Type–Specific and Ubiquitous Chromatin Regulatory Structures in the Human Genome
(Public Library of Science, 2007-8-17)The identification of regulatory elements from different cell types is necessary for understanding the mechanisms controlling cell type–specific and housekeeping gene expression. Mapping DNaseI hypersensitive (HS) sites ... -
Small but Versatile: The Extraordinary Functional and Structural Diversity of the β-grasp Fold
(BioMed Central, 2007-7-2)BACKGROUND. The β-grasp fold (β-GF), prototyped by ubiquitin (UB), has been recruited for a strikingly diverse range of biochemical functions. These functions include providing a scaffold for different enzymatic active ... -
Predicting Eukaryotic Transcriptional Cooperativity by Bayesian Network Integration of Genome-Wide Data
(2009-10)Transcriptional cooperativity among several transcription factors (TFs) is believed to be the main mechanism of complexity and precision in transcriptional regulatory programs. Here, we present a Bayesian network framework ... -
High-Precision High-Coverage Functional Inference from Integrated Data Sources
(BioMed Central, 2008-2-25)BACKGROUND. Information obtained from diverse data sources can be combined in a principled manner using various machine learning methods to increase the reliability and range of knowledge about protein function. The result ... -
Integrated Assessment of Genomic Correlates of Protein Evolutionary Rate
(Public Library of Science, 2009-6-12)Rates of evolution differ widely among proteins, but the causes and consequences of such differences remain under debate. With the advent of high-throughput functional genomics, it is now possible to rigorously assess the ... -
Comparison of Proteomic and Transcriptomic Profiles in the Bronchial Airway Epithelium of Current and Never Smokers
(Public Libary of Science, 2009-4-9)BACKGROUND. Although prior studies have demonstrated a smoking-induced field of molecular injury throughout the lung and airway, the impact of smoking on the airway epithelial proteome and its relationship to smoking-related ... -
Multiplierz: An Extensible API Based Desktop Environment for Proteomics Data Analysis
(BioMed Central, 2009-10-29)BACKGROUND. Efficient analysis of results from mass spectrometry-based proteomics experiments requires access to disparate data types, including native mass spectrometry files, output from algorithms that assign peptide ... -
Design of a Combinatorial DNA Microarray for Protein-DNA Interaction Studies
(BioMed Central, 2006-10-3)BACKGROUND. Discovery of precise specificity of transcription factors is an important step on the way to understanding the complex mechanisms of gene regulation in eukaryotes. Recently, double-stranded protein-binding ... -
Recurrent, Robust and Scalable Patterns Underlie Human Approach and Avoidance
(Public Library of Science, 2010-5-26)BACKGROUND. Approach and avoidance behavior provide a means for assessing the rewarding or aversive value of stimuli, and can be quantified by a keypress procedure whereby subjects work to increase (approach), decrease ...
