Gene fusions and RNA trans-splicing in normal and neoplastic human cellsHui Li
Department of Pathology, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut 06520, USA
Cell Cycle 8:218-22. 2009..Furthermore, it may be possible that other means for abnormal production of chimeric gene products, such as hyperactive transsplicing of RNA, may be another mechanism underlying the neoplastic properties of tumor cells...
A neoplastic gene fusion mimics trans-splicing of RNAs in normal human cellsHui Li
Department of Pathology, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT 06520, USA
Science 321:1357-61. 2008..These observations suggest that certain gene fusions may be pro-neoplastic owing to constitutive expression of chimeric gene products normally generated by trans-splicing of RNAs in developing tissues...
Effects of rearrangement and allelic exclusion of JJAZ1/SUZ12 on cell proliferation and survivalHui Li
Department of Pathology, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT 06520, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 104:20001-6. 2007..Furthermore, these results indicate the likely functional importance of allelic exclusion of genes disrupted by chromosomal translocations, as seen in a variety of other cancers...
Selection on the human bitter taste gene, TAS2R16, in Eurasian populationsHui Li
Department of Genetics, School of Medicine, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06520, USA
Hum Biol 83:363-77. 2011..Alternatively, the promoter region variant may be a marker for altered function beyond what the derived amino acid allele conferred...
Chimeric transcript generated by cis-splicing of adjacent genes regulates prostate cancer cell proliferationYanmei Zhang
Department of Pathology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia 22908, USA
Cancer Discov 2:598-607. 2012..SLC45A3-ELK4 controls prostate cancer cell proliferation, and the chimera level correlates with prostate cancer disease progression...
A global view of the OCA2-HERC2 region and pigmentationMichael P Donnelly
Department of Genetics, School of Medicine, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06520, USA
Hum Genet 131:683-96. 2012..Our data suggest that the haplotype restricted to Europe is the strongest marker for blue eyes globally and add further inferential evidence that the derived allele of rs1800414 is an East Asian skin pigmentation allele...
Refined geographic distribution of the oriental ALDH2*504Lys (nee 487Lys) variantHui Li
Department of Genetics, School of Medicine, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06520 8005, USA
Ann Hum Genet 73:335-45. 2009..In general the study of fine scale geographic distributions of ALDH2*504Lys and diseases may help in understanding the multiple relationships among genes, diseases, environments, and cultures...
Activating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) slows renal cystogenesisVinita Takiar
Department of Cellular and Molecular Physiology, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT 06520, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 108:2462-7. 2011..Our results suggest a possible role for AMPK activation in slowing renal cystogenesis as well as the potential for therapeutic application of metformin in the context of ADPKD...
Diversification of the ADH1B gene during expansion of modern humansHui Li
Department of Genetics, School of Medicine, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06520 8005, USA
Ann Hum Genet 75:497-507. 2011..H7 is estimated to have expanded recently, around 2,800 years ago, and ancient DNA samples from North China confirm its presence about that time. The dating of the H7 expansion may help understand the selective force on the ADH1B gene...
