Digital genome-wide ncRNA expression, including SnoRNAs, across 11 human tissues using polyA-neutral amplificationJohn C Castle
Institute for Translational Oncology and Immunology, Mainz, Germany
PLoS ONE 5:e11779. 2010..This genome-wide polyA-neutral expression compendium demonstrates the richness of ncRNA expression, their high expression patterns, their function-specific expression patterns, and is publicly available...
DNA copy number, including telomeres and mitochondria, assayed using next-generation sequencingJohn C Castle
Rosetta Inpharmatics LLC, Merck and Co, Inc, Seattle, Washington 98109, USA
BMC Genomics 11:244. 2010..DNA copy number variations occur within populations and aberrations can cause disease. We sought to develop an improved lab-automatable, cost-efficient, accurate platform to profile DNA copy number...
Expression of 24,426 human alternative splicing events and predicted cis regulation in 48 tissues and cell linesJohn C Castle
Rosetta Inpharmatics LLC, Seattle, WA 98109, USA
Nat Genet 40:1416-25. 2008..UCUCU and UGCAUG seem to have similar function but independent action, occurring 5' and 3', respectively, of 33% of the cassette exons upregulated in skeletal muscle but co-occurring for only 2%...
Definition, conservation and epigenetics of housekeeping and tissue-enriched genesXinwei She
Rosetta Inpharmatics LLC, Seattle, WA 98109, USA
BMC Genomics 10:269. 2009..The genomic features of these two groups of genes expressed in opposing patterns may shed light on the mechanisms by which cells maintain basic and tissue-specific functions...
Digital transcriptome profiling using selective hexamer priming for cDNA synthesisChristopher D Armour
Department of Molecular Informatics, Rosetta Inpharmatics LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Merck and Co, Inc, Seattle, Washington, USA
Nat Methods 6:647-9. 2009..In this study we validated the technique by profiling human whole brain and universal human reference RNA using ultra-high-throughput sequencing...
NSR-seq transcriptional profiling enables identification of a gene signature of Plasmodium falciparum parasites infecting childrenMarissa Vignali
Seattle Biomedical Research Institute, Seattle, Washington, USA
J Clin Invest 121:1119-29. 2011..Our study provides proof of principle that NSR-seq represents an approach that can be used to study clinical isolates of parasites causing severe malaria syndromes as well other blood-borne pathogens and blood-related diseases...
ACC2 is expressed at high levels in human white adipose and has an isoform with a novel N-terminus [corrected]John C Castle
Rosetta Inpharmatics LLC, Seattle, Washington, United States of America
PLoS ONE 4:e4369. 2009..The results demonstrate a significant difference in ACC expression between human and rodents, which may introduce difficulties for the use of rodent models for development of ACC inhibitors...
Activity of the Rhodopseudomonas palustris p-coumaroyl-homoserine lactone-responsive transcription factor RpaRHidetada Hirakawa
Department of Microbiology, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195 7242, USA
J Bacteriol 193:2598-607. 2011..These data raise the possibility that this antisense RNA or other RpaR-activated noncoding RNAs mediate the indirect activation of genes in the RpaR-controlled regulon...
SNPs occur in regions with less genomic sequence conservationJohn C Castle
Rosetta Inpharmatics LLC, Seattle, Washington, United States of America
PLoS ONE 6:e20660. 2011..Together, these results confirm that SNPs, reflecting recent genetic variation, occur more frequently in regions with less evolutionarily conservation...
