Comparative analysis of algorithms for identifying amplifications and deletions in array CGH data
TL;DR: 11 different algorithms for analyzing array CGH data are compared, based on diverse techniques such as mixture models, Hidden Markov Models, maximum likelihood, regression, wavelets and genetic algorithms, to reveal general characteristics that are helpful to the biological investigator.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-resolution ChIP–chip analysis reveals that the Drosophila MSL complex selectively identifies active genes on the male X chromosome
TL;DR: It is proposed that the MSL complex recognizes most X-linked genes, but only in the context of chromatin factors or modifications indicative of active transcription, which is likely to be an important function common to many chromatin organizing and modifying activities.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This work identified two sets of genes, associated with insulin signaling and a network of nuclear receptors, which are recurrent in a statistically significant number of diabetes and insulin resistance models and transcriptionally altered across diverse tissue types and additionally identified anetwork of protein–protein interactions between members from the two gene sets that may facilitate signaling between them.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Assessment of histone H3 lysine 4 dimethylation and trimethylation on a genome-wide scale in erythroid development reveals distinct epigenetic regulation of CGI and non-CGI genes during development and indicates an interactive relationship between DNA sequence and differential H3K4 methylation in lineage-specific differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The gene expression signature discovered in this study may represent a true "CNS signature" because it contrasted PCNSL with wide-spectrum non-CNS DLBCL on a genomic scale and performed an in-depth bioinformatic analysis.
