Cell Death Dis . 2023 Jan; 14(1):17. PMID: 36635269
Bone remodeling is a continuous process between bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts, with any imbalance resulting in metabolic bone disease, including osteopenia. The HERC1 gene encodes an E3 ubiquitin ligase...

Wahyudi F, Aghakhanian F, Rahman S, Teo Y, Szpak M, Dhaliwal J, et al.
BMC Bioinformatics . 2021 Dec; 22(1):604. PMID: 34922440
Background: In population genomics, polymorphisms that are highly differentiated between geographically separated populations are often suggestive of Darwinian positive selection. Genomic scans have highlighted several such regions in African and...

Hum Mutat . 2021 Nov; 43(8):986-997. PMID: 34816521
The Ensembl Variant Effect Predictor (VEP) is a freely available, open-source tool for the annotation and filtering of genomic variants. It predicts variant molecular consequences using the Ensembl/GENCODE or RefSeq...

Yates A, Allen J, Amode R, Azov A, Barba M, Becerra A, et al.
Nucleic Acids Res . 2021 Nov; 50(D1):D996-D1003. PMID: 34791415
Ensembl Genomes (https://www.ensemblgenomes.org) provides access to non-vertebrate genomes and analysis complementing vertebrate resources developed by the Ensembl project (https://www.ensembl.org). The two resources collectively present genome annotation through a consistent set...

FEBS Lett . 2019 May; 593(13):1431-1448. PMID: 31116407
Classic selective sweeps occur when positive selection increases a variant's frequency from low to high in a population, and underlie some long-studied human characteristics such as variation in skin, hair...
