Journal ArticleDOI

Human genetic analyses of organelles highlight the nucleus in age-related trait heritability

TL;DR: Gupta et al. as discussed by the authors found that inherited variants in or near genes associated with the nucleus were consistently linked to age-related disease risks, including heart disease, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disease.
Proceedings Article

Building an application framework for integrative genomics

TL;DR: The architecture is intended to provide an extensible platform for developing web based bioinformatics applications and to offer a flexible and end-user-extensible software environment to explore and integrate disparate biological data sources.
Posted ContentDOI

Mitochondrial DNA variation across 56,434 individuals in gnomAD

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a pipeline to call mtDNA variants that addresses three technical challenges: (i) detecting homoplasmic and heterplasmic variants, present respectively in all or a fraction of mtDNA molecules, (ii) circular mtDNA genome, and (iii) misalignment of nuclear sequences of mitochondrial origin (NUMTs).
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolutionary divergence reveals the molecular basis of EMRE dependence of the human MCU.

TL;DR: This work identifies a new domain in mitochondrial calcium uniporter that determines its dependence on its binding partner EMRE, and calls this region in human MCU the EMRE dependence domain (EDD).
Journal ArticleDOI

Impaired hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction in a mouse model of Leigh syndrome

TL;DR: The results of this study show that, when breathing air, mice with a congenital Ndufs4 deficiency or chemically inhibited CI function have impaired HPV, raising the possibility that patients with inborn errors of mitochondrial function may also have defects in HPV.
