TITLE: "Splicing-specific transcriptome-wide association uncovers novel genetic mechanisms for Schizophrenia." ABSTRACT: Recent studies have highlighted the essential role of RNA splicing, a key mechanism of alternative RNA processing, in establishing connections between genetic variations and disease. Genetic loci influencing RNA splicing variations show considerable influence on complex traits, possibly surpassing those affecting total gene expression. Dysregulated RNA […]

TITLE: "Modeling the heterogenous NFκB dynamics of single immune cells." ABSTRACT: Macrophages function as immune sentinel cells, initiating appropriate and specialized immune responses to a great variety of pathogens.  The transcription factor NFκB controls macrophage gene expression responses, and its temporal dynamics enable stimulus-specificity of these responses.  Using a fluorescent reporter mouse our laboratory recently […]
