چکیده
A key goal of biomedical research is to elucidate the complex network of gene interactions underlying complex traits such as common human diseases. Here we detail a multistep procedure for identifying potential key drivers of complex traits that integrates DNA-variation and gene-expression data with other complex trait data in segregating mouse populations. Ordering gene expression traits relative to one another and relative to other complex traits is achieved by systematically testing whether variations in DNA that lead to variations in relative transcript abundances statistically support an independent, causative or reactive function relative to the complex traits under consideration. We show that this approach can predict transcriptional responses to single gene– perturbation experiments using gene-expression data in the context of a segregating mouse population. We also demonstrate the utility of this approach by identifying and experimentally validating the involvement of three new genes in susceptibility to obesity.

The authors show that in a Built-In Self-Test (BIST) technique, based on linear-feedback shift registers, when the feedback connections in pseudo-random test-sequence generator and signature analyzer are images of each other and corresponds to primitive characteristic polynomial then behaviors of faults masking remains identical. The simulation results of single stuck-at faults show how the use...

Odisha state is highly endemic for malaria and among several Anopheline species found in the state, Anopheles subpictus is known to be one of the most prevalent species. An. subpictus complex consists of four sibling species i,e A,B,C and D. However, no work has been conducted on prevalence of sibling species of An. subpictus in Odisha. Hence attempt was made to study the prevalence of sibling ...
متن کاملColonization of Onions by Endophytic Fungi and Their Impacts on the Biology of Thrips tabaci
Endophytic fungi, which live within host plant tissues without causing any visible symptom of infection, are important mutualists that mediate plant-herbivore interactions. Thrips tabaci (Lindeman) is one of the key pests of onion, Allium cepa L., an economically important agricultural crop cultivated worldwide. However, information on endophyte colonization of onions, and their impacts on the ...
متن کاملRace, insurance type, and stage of presentation among lung cancer patients
The purpose of this study was to determine whether African-American lung cancer patients are diagnosed at a later stage than white patients, regardless of insurance type. The relationship between race and stage at diagnosis by insurance type was assessed using a Poisson regression model, with relative risk as the measure of association. The setting of the study was a large tertiary care cancer ...
