Chen Y, Davidson N, Kei Wan Y, Yao F, Su Y, Gamaarachchi H, et al.
Nat Methods . 2025 Mar; PMID: 40082608
The human genome contains instructions to transcribe more than 200,000 RNAs. However, many RNA transcripts are generated from the same gene, resulting in alternative isoforms that are highly similar and...

NPJ Parkinsons Dis . 2024 Apr; 10(1):85. PMID: 38622158
The genetic loci implicated in familial Parkinson's disease (PD) have limited generalizability to the Indian PD population. We tested mutations and the frequency of known mutations in the SNCA gene...

Commun Biol . 2022 Oct; 5(1):1061. PMID: 36203093
The contribution of germline copy number variants (CNVs) to risk of developing cancer in individuals with pathogenic BRCA1 or BRCA2 variants remains relatively unknown. We conducted the largest genome-wide analysis...

Cancers (Basel) . 2019 Sep; 11(9). PMID: 31540244
The gene, encoding the cell adhesion protein E-cadherin, is one of the most frequently mutated genes in gastric cancer and inactivating germline mutations are responsible for hereditary diffuse gastric cancer...
