Arabidopsis Chromatin Remodeler Brahma: Its Functional Interplay With Polycomb Proteins And The Ref6 Histone Demethylase, Chenlong Li
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
BRAHMA (BRM) is a SWI/SNF-type chromatin remodeling ATPase that plays an important role in regulation of gene expression. Tri-methylation of lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3K27me3) is a histone modification that is associated with transcriptionally repressed genes and catalyzed by Polycomb Group (PcG) proteins. BRM has been proposed to antagonize the function of PcG proteins but the underlying molecular mechanism is unclear. To understand how BRM regulates the function of PcG proteins during plant development, a genome-wide analysis of H3K27me3 in brm mutant was performed using chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by next generation sequencing (ChIP-seq). Loss of BRM leads to increased …
Economic Evaluation Of Potential Applications Of Gene Expression Profiling In Clinical Oncology, Malek Hannouf
Economic Evaluation Of Potential Applications Of Gene Expression Profiling In Clinical Oncology, Malek Hannouf
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Histopathological analysis of tumor is currently the main tool used to guide cancer management. Gene expression profiling may provide additional valuable information for both classification and prognostication of individual tumors. A number of gene expression profiling assays have been developed recently to inform therapy decisions in women with early stage breast cancer and help identify the primary tumor site in patients with metastatic cancer of unknown primary. The impact of these assays on health and economic outcomes, if introduced into general practice, has not been determined. I aimed to conduct an economic evaluation of regulatory-approved gene expression profiling assays for …
Somatic Copy Number Mosaicism Contributes To Genomic Diversity In Mus Musculus, Andrea E. Wishart
Somatic Copy Number Mosaicism Contributes To Genomic Diversity In Mus Musculus, Andrea E. Wishart
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Copy number variants (CNVs) are a source of genomic variation associated with altered phenotypes. Somatic copy number mosaicism results when different populations of cells in an individual differ due to de novo copy number changes (CNCs). Tissue-specific patterns of CNCs resulting in mosaicism have yet to be characterized in the mouse, an organism frequently used to model human diseases. Here, DNA was sampled from spleen, liver, and cerebellum of eight highly related mice selected from a familial unit. CNVs and CNCs were detected using the Mouse Diversity Genotyping Array with three computational methods (ConsecN, Partek, and PennCNV). Tissue-specific patterns of …

Interpretation of variants present in complete genomes or exomes reveals numerous sequence changes, only a fraction of which are likely to be pathogenic. Mutations have been traditionally inferred from allele frequencies and inheritance patterns in such data. Variants predicted to alter mRNA splicing can be validated by manual inspection of transcriptome sequencing data, however this approach is intractable for large datasets. These abnormal mRNA splicing patterns are characterized by reads demonstrating either exon skipping, cryptic splice site use, and high levels of intron inclusion, or combinations of these properties. We present, Veridical, an in silico method for the automatic validation …
