Pinpointing genetic impacts on DNA methylation can improve our understanding of pathways that underlie gene regulation and disease risk.
Roughly 3% of the human genome is composed of variable-number tandem repeats (VNTRs): arrays of motifs at least six bases. These loci are highly polymorphic, yet current approaches that define and merge varian...
We propose a statistical framework ISLET to infer individual-specific and cell-type-specific transcriptome reference panels. ISLET models the repeatedly measured bulk gene expression data, to optimize the usag...
The appearance of Slavs in East-Central Europe has been the subject of an over 200-year debate driven by two conflicting hypotheses. The first assumes that Slavs came to the territory of contemporary Poland no...
Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the arylsulfatase A gene (ARSA) and categorized into three subtypes according to age of onset. The functional effect of mo...
Although long-read RNA-seq is increasingly applied to characterize full-length transcripts it can also enable detection of nucleotide variants, such as genetic mutations or RNA editing sites, which is signific...
Structural variant (SV) calling belongs to the standard tools of modern bioinformatics for identifying and describing alterations in genomes. Initially, this work presents several complex genomic rearrangement...
Neoantigens are critical for anti-tumor immunity and have been long-envisioned as promising therapeutic targets. However, current neoantigen analyses mostly focus on single nucleotide variations (SNVs) and ind...
Sequence alignments are the foundations of life science research, but most innovation so far focuses on optimal alignments, while information derived from suboptimal solutions is ignored. We argue that one opt...
In this manuscript, we introduce and benchmark Mandalorion v4.1 for the identification and quantification of full-length transcriptome sequencing reads. It further improves upon the already strong performance ...
The oocyte-to-embryo transition (OET) converts terminally differentiated gametes into a totipotent embryo and is critically controlled by maternal mRNAs and proteins, while the genome is silent until zygotic g...
Detecting allelic imbalance at the isoform level requires accounting for inferential uncertainty, caused by multi-mapping of RNA-seq reads. Our proposed method, SEESAW, uses Salmon and Swish to offer analysis ...
Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) was originally conceived as an mRNA surveillance mechanism to prevent the production of potentially deleterious truncated proteins. Research also shows NMD is an important po...
Multimodal measurements of single-cell sequencing technologies facilitate a comprehensive understanding of specific cellular and molecular mechanisms. However, simultaneous profiling of multiple modalities of ...
Chromosome-level haplotype-resolved genome assembly is an important resource in molecular biology. However, current de novo haplotype assemblers require parental data or reference genomes and often fail to pro...
DNA methylation signatures are usually based on multivariate approaches that require hundreds of sites for predictions. Here, we propose a computational framework named CimpleG for the detection of small CpG m...
Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are abundant noncoding RNAs best known for their involvement in ribosomal RNA maturation. In mammals, most expressed snoRNAs are embedded in introns of longer genes and produced ...
Intestinal barrier dysfunction plays a central role in the pathological onset of Crohn’s disease. We identify the cadherin superfamily member protocadherin 20 (PCDH20) as a crucial factor in Crohn’s disease. H...
Genome browsers facilitate integrated analysis of multiple genomics datasets yet visualize only a few regions at a time and lack statistical functions for extracting meaningful information. We present HiCognit...
The first telomere-to-telomere (T2T) human genome assembly (T2T-CHM13) release is a milestone in human genomics. The T2T-CHM13 genome assembly extends our understanding of telomeres, centromeres, segmental dup...
Sequencing has revealed hundreds of millions of human genetic variants, and continued efforts will only add to this variant avalanche. Insufficient information exists to interpret the effects of most variants,...
