But pinpointing the specific genes that affect the height of cow holds one major challenge which is how to identify variants in the genome that may have variations due to behavioral and environmental factors. "To overcome this issue, the consortium pooled large genomic datasets and phenotypes colle...
Thus, we speculate that transposable element expression is influenced by regulatory non-coding variants, also called expression Quantitative Trait Loci (eQTLs), known to contribute to the onset and progression of complex diseases like cancer9,10. To build on this concept, we set out to analyze ...
Fig. 1: Overview of the cTWAS method. a, Two scenarios that violate the assumptions of TWAS and lead to false-positive findings. X is a noncausal gene of the trait y. X is associated with the trait, shown as dashed arrows, because of the LD between its eQTL and nearby causal variants...
Early intervention is vital in curing certain types of cancer, most notably glandular and breast cancer, and is helpful in improving quality of life for patients with most other types of cancer. Latest statistics from national tumor register center shows that 271 in every 100,000 people develop ...
These suggest that HI03-3b is unique and likely a novel species within Cytobacillus genus, and we therefore proposed its name as Cytobacillus wakatobiense HI03-3b. Genome sequence analyses indicated the presence of genes involved not only in polysaccharide and protein degradation but also in ...
Your body is made up of 50 trillion cells. Cells come in many different varieties, with many different functions, but inside, almost every cell is a nucleus, containing 99.9% of your genes, and mitochondria, containing a few more genes. All told, you’ve nearly 20,000 genes, your genes...
Corneal keratoconus (KC) is a dilated (ectatic) corneal disease characterized by a central thinning of the cornea, which causes protrusion into a conical shape that seriously affects vision. However, due to the complex etiology of keratoconus, its entire mechanism remains unclear and there is no ...
