Journal ArticleDOI

Non-equilibrium dynamics of a nascent polypeptide during translation suppress its misfolding.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the folding kinetics of a ribosome-bound, multi-domain calcium-binding protein stalled at different points in translation with the nascent chain as is being synthesized in real-time, via optical tweezers.

Germline determinants of the somatic mutation landscape in 2,642 cancer genomes

Sebastian M. Waszak, +91 more
- 01 Nov 2017 - 
TL;DR: This study highlights the major impact of rare and common germline variants on mutational landscapes in cancer and inferred over a hundred polymorphic L1/LINE elements with somatic retrotransposition activity in cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Imputation-Aware Tag SNP Selection To Improve Power for Large-Scale, Multi-ethnic Association Studies

TL;DR: A novel framework to select tag SNPs using the reference panel of 26 populations from Phase 3 of the 1000 Genomes Project, which demonstrates increased imputation accuracy for rare variants and examines array design strategies that contrast multi-ethnic cohorts vs. single populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficient analysis of large datasets and sex bias with ADMIXTURE

TL;DR: Improvements to the ADMIXTURE software are described, allowing users to extract more information from large genomic datasets, and increased power to detect sex-biased admixture in African-American individuals from the 1000 Genomes project is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Can estimates of genetic effective population size contribute to fisheries stock assessments

TL;DR: This work reviews and evaluates a fisheries-independent method of indexing population size; inferring adult abundance from estimates of the genetic effective size of a population (Ne), and shows that declines in Ne track declines in the abundance of model fisheries species.
