Journal ArticleDOI

New insights into the genetic etiology of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias

Céline Bellenguez, +401 more
- 01 Apr 2022 - 
TL;DR: This paper performed a two-stage genome-wide association study with 111,326 clinically diagnosed/proxy AD cases and 677,663 controls and found 75 risk loci, of which 42 were new at the time of analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comprehensive Mapping of Histone Modifications at DNA Double-Strand Breaks Deciphers Repair Pathway Chromatin Signatures

TL;DR: This study revealed the existence of a DSB-induced monoubiquitination-to-acetylation switch on histone H2B lysine 120, likely mediated by the SAGA complex, as well as higher-order signaling at HR-repaired DSBs whereby hist one H1 is evicted while ubiquitin and 53BP1 accumulate over the entire γH2AX domains.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stroke genetics informs drug discovery and risk prediction across ancestries

Aniket Mishra, +551 more
- 04 Jan 2022 - 
TL;DR: In this article , a cross-ancestry GWAS meta-analyses of 110,182 patients who have had a stroke (five ancestries, 33% non-European) and 1,503,898 control individuals, identify association signals for stroke and its subtypes at 89 (61 new) independent loci: 60 in primary inverse-variance-weighted analyses and 29 in secondary meta-regression and multitrait analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI

qDSB-Seq is a general method for genome-wide quantification of DNA double-strand breaks using sequencing.

TL;DR: qDSB-Seq method is presented, which uses spike-in double-strand breaks induced by a restriction enzyme to accurately quantify DNA damage and is compatible with various DSB labeling methods in different organisms and allows accurate comparisons of absolute DSB frequencies across samples.
Journal ArticleDOI

The precise timeline of transcriptional regulation reveals causation in mouse somitogenesis network

TL;DR: A novel framework for data analysis is applied and a striking correspondence between gene expression times and their interactions and regulations during somitogenesis is shown, proving the key role of finely tuned transcriptional regulation in the process.
