Understanding protein evolutionary rate by integrating gene co-expression with protein interactionsKaifang Pang
Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China
BMC Syst Biol 4:179. 2010..Among the many factors determining protein evolutionary rate, protein-protein interaction degree (PPID) has been intensively investigated in recent years, but its precise effect on protein evolutionary rate is still heavily debated...
Systematic identification of transcription factors associated with patient survival in cancersChao Cheng
Program in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, Yale University, New Haven, CT, USA
BMC Genomics 10:225. 2009..However, the association between transcription factors and cancers is largely dependent on the transcription regulatory activities rather than mRNA expression levels...
mRNA expression profiles show differential regulatory effects of microRNAs between estrogen receptor-positive and estrogen receptor-negative breast cancerChao Cheng
Program in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, Yale University, George Street, New Haven, CT 06511, USA
Genome Biol 10:R90. 2009..Given this, it is useful to define an overall metric of regulatory effect for a specific microRNA and see how this changes across different conditions...
The relationship between the evolution of microRNA targets and the length of their UTRsChao Cheng
Program in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06520, USA
BMC Genomics 10:431. 2009..Their widespread and important role in animals is gauged by estimates that approximately 25% of all genes are miRNA targets...
Construction and analysis of an integrated regulatory network derived from high-throughput sequencing dataChao Cheng
Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut, USA
PLoS Comput Biol 7:e1002190. 2011..As more and more genome-wide ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq data becomes available in the near future, our methods of data integration have various potential applications...
A statistical framework for modeling gene expression using chromatin features and application to modENCODE datasetsChao Cheng
Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, Yale University, 260 Whitney Avenue, New Haven, CT 06520, USA
Genome Biol 12:R15. 2011..Moreover, our framework reveals the positional contribution around genes (upstream or downstream) of distinct chromatin features to the overall prediction of expression levels...
Prediction and characterization of noncoding RNAs in C. elegans by integrating conservation, secondary structure, and high-throughput sequencing and array dataZhi John Lu
Program in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut 06520, USA
Genome Res 21:276-85. 2011..Overall, our study identifies many new potential ncRNAs in C. elegans and provides a method that can be adapted to other organisms...
Modeling the relative relationship of transcription factor binding and histone modifications to gene expression levels in mouse embryonic stem cellsChao Cheng
Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut 06520, USA
Nucleic Acids Res 40:553-68. 2012..Finally, we found that the models trained solely on protein-coding genes are predictive of expression levels of microRNAs, suggesting that their regulation by TFs and HMs may share a similar mechanism to that for protein-coding genes...
TIP: a probabilistic method for identifying transcription factor target genes from ChIP-seq binding profilesChao Cheng
Program of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06511, USA
Bioinformatics 27:3221-7. 2011..However, this does not take into account the number of sites upstream of the TSS, their exact positioning or the fact that different TFs appear to act at different characteristic distances from the TSS...
Integrative analysis of the Caenorhabditis elegans genome by the modENCODE projectMark B Gerstein
Program in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, Yale University, Bass 432, 266 Whitney Avenue, New Haven, CT 06520, USA
Science 330:1775-87. 2010..Integrating data types, we built statistical models relating chromatin, transcription factor binding, and gene expression. Overall, our analyses ascribed putative functions to most of the conserved genome...
Zebrafish miR-1 and miR-133 shape muscle gene expression and regulate sarcomeric actin organizationYuichiro Mishima
Department of Genetics, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut 06510, USA
Genes Dev 23:619-32. 2009..These results suggest that miR-1 and miR-133 actively shape gene expression patterns in muscle tissue, where they regulate sarcomeric actin organization...
