Characterising the effects of sex interaction, pleiotropy and local population structure on ALS GWAS
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Genetics & Microbiology. Discipline of Genetics, 2021)In the past decade, increasingly large-scale genome wide association studies (GWAS) have gleaned insights into the genetic architecture of a range of human traits. Widespread sharing of summary statistics for these GWAS ... -
Spatial Colocalization of Human Ohnolog Pairs Acts to Maintain Dosage-Balance
(2016)Ohnologs-paralogous gene pairs generated by whole genome duplication-are enriched for dosage sensitive genes, that is, genes that have a phenotype due to copy number changes. Dosage sensitive genes frequently occur in the ... -
Genomes as documents of evolutionary history: A probabilistic macrosynteny model for the reconstruction of ancestral genomes
(2017)Motivation: It has been argued that whole-genome duplication (WGD) exerted a profound influence on the course of evolution. For the purpose of fully understanding the impact of WGD, several formal algorithms have been ... -
Pseudogenes Provide Evolutionary Evidence for the Competitive Endogenous RNA Hypothesis
(2018)The competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) hypothesis is an attractively simple model to explain the biological role of many putatively functionless noncoding RNAs. Under this model, there exist transcripts in the cell whose ... -
A Family of Vertebrate-Specific Polycombs Encoded by the LCOR/LCORL Genes Balance PRC2 Subtype Activities
(2018)The polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) consists of core subunits SUZ12, EED, RBBP4/7, and EZH1/2 and is responsible for mono-, di-, and tri-methylation of lysine 27 on histone H3. Whereas two distinct forms exist, PRC2.1 ...
