1.
Peha H, Ren H, Skinner D, Sundaresan V
Plant Reprod . 2024 Nov; 38(1):3. PMID: 39609298
Induction of parthenogenesis (embryo formation from unfertilized egg cells) by embryogenic transcription factors is associated with twin formation at high frequencies, and involves two distinct mechanisms. Synthetic apomixis has been...

Mollison L, ODaniel J, Henderson G, Berg J, Skinner D
Genet Med . 2019 Dec; 22(4):752-757. PMID: 31857707
Purpose: Clinical genome or exome sequencing (GS/ES) provides a diagnosis for many individuals with suspected genetic disorders, but also yields negative or uncertain results for the majority. This study examines...

Khanday I, Skinner D, Yang B, Mercier R, Sundaresan V
Nature . 2018 Dec; 565(7737):91-95. PMID: 30542157
The molecular pathways that trigger the initiation of embryogenesis after fertilization in flowering plants, and prevent its occurrence without fertilization, are not well understood. Here we show in rice (Oryza...

Skinner D, Roche M, Weck K, Raspberry K, Foreman A, Strande N, et al.
Genet Med . 2018 Mar; 20(3):313-319. PMID: 29593351
PurposeClinical genome sequencing produces uncertain diagnostic results, raising concerns about how to communicate the method's inherent complexities in ways that reduce potential misunderstandings and harm. This study investigates clinicians' communications...

Waltz M, Cadigan R, Prince A, Skinner D, Henderson G
Genet Med . 2017 Dec; 20(9):1038-1044. PMID: 29215654
Purpose: As genome sequencing moves from research to clinical practice, sequencing technologies focused on "medically actionable" targets are being promoted for preventive screening despite the dearth of systematic evidence of...

Vora N, Powell B, Brandt A, Strande N, Hardisty E, Gilmore K, et al.
Genet Med . 2017 May; 19(11):1207-1216. PMID: 28518170
PurposeWe investigated the diagnostic and clinical performance of exome sequencing in fetuses with sonographic abnormalities with normal karyotype and microarray and, in some cases, normal gene-specific sequencing.MethodsExome sequencing was performed...

Skinner D, Raspberry K, King M
Sociol Health Illn . 2016 Aug; 38(8):1303-1317. PMID: 27538589
Genomic sequencing technology is moving rapidly from the research setting into clinical medicine but significant technological and interpretive challenges remain. Exome sequencing (ES) in its recent clinical application provides a...

Bernhardt B, Roche M, Perry D, Scollon S, Tomlinson A, Skinner D
Am J Med Genet A . 2015 Jul; 167A(11):2635-46. PMID: 26198374
Despite the increased utilization of genome and exome sequencing, little is known about the actual content and process of informed consent for sequencing. We addressed this by interviewing 29 genetic...

Tomlinson A, Skinner D, Perry D, Scollon S, Roche M, Bernhardt B
J Genet Couns . 2015 Apr; 25(1):62-72. PMID: 25911622
As the use of genomic technology has expanded in research and clinical settings, issues surrounding informed consent for genome and exome sequencing have surfaced. Despite the importance of informed consent,...

Haase R, Michie M, Skinner D
Soc Sci Med . 2015 Feb; 130:146-53. PMID: 25697637
Genomic research has rapidly expanded its scope and ambition over the past decade, promoted by both public and private sectors as having the potential to revolutionize clinical medicine. This promissory...
