Stop codon readthrough generates a C-terminally extended variant of the human vitamin D receptor with reduced calcitriol response.

TL;DR: The readthrough efficiency of the annotated stop codon for the sequence encoding vitamin D receptor (VDR), a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily of ligand-inducible transcription factors, was the highest of those tested but all showed notable levels of readthrough.

Discovery and characterization of coding and non-coding driver mutations in more than 2,500 whole cancer genomes

Esther Rheinbay, +74 more
- 23 Dec 2017 - 
TL;DR: These analyses redefine the landscape of non-coding driver mutations in cancer genomes, confirming a few previously reported elements and raising doubts about others, while identifying novel candidate elements across 27 cancer types.
Journal ArticleDOI

Loose ends: almost one in five human genes still have unresolved coding status

TL;DR: An in-depth investigation on the 2764 genes classified as coding by one or more sets of manual curators and not coding by others suggests that most are not under protein-like purifying selection and so are unlikely to code for functional proteins.

Pareto-optimal phylogenetic tree reconciliation

TL;DR: In this article, an efficient algorithm for computing Pareto-optimal sets of reconciliations was proposed, thus providing the first systematic method for understanding the relationship between event costs and reconciliation.
