Genome-wide association scans identified CTNNBL1 as a novel gene for obesity

TL;DR: A genome-wide association scan for obesity is performed by examining approximately 500 000 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a sample of 1000 unrelated US Caucasians to identify a novel gene, CTNNBL1, which has multiple SNPs associated with body mass index (BMI) and fat mass.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prognostic value of pre-operative inflammatory response biomarkers in gastric cancer patients and the construction of a predictive model

TL;DR: Pre-operative NLR and dNLR may serve as potential prognostic biomarkers in patients with GC who underwent surgical resection and could more accurately predict cancer-specific survival (CSS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in surgical GC patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

A road map for understanding molecular and genetic determinants of osteoporosis

TL;DR: Integration of omics approaches can provide a holistic road map to comprehensively illuminate the complex pathogenesis of osteoporosis and fulfil the potential of personalized disease risk prediction, intervention and treatment as well as drug development or re-purposing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analyses and Comparison of Accuracy of Different Genotype Imputation Methods

TL;DR: This study investigated and compared the performance of five popular genotype imputation methods, MACH, IMPUTE, fastPHASE, PLINK and Beagle, and showed that a stronger LD and a lower MAF for an untyped marker produced better ARs for all the five methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative studies of de novo assembly tools for next-generation sequencing technologies

TL;DR: The performance of commonly used de novo assembly tools specifically designed for next-generation sequencing data, including SSAKE, VCAKE, Euler-sr, Edena, Velvet, ABySS and SOAPdenovo are compared.
