TL;DR: DNA methylation biomarkers associated with PrCa are identified and the findings suggest that specific CpG sites may influence PrCa via regulating expression of candidate PrCa target genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prospective study of oral microbiome and colorectal cancer risk in low-income and African American populations
TL;DR: The study suggests that the oral microbiome may play a significant role in CRC etiology, and associations were observed among both African‐ and European‐Americans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proteogenomic analysis and global discovery of posttranslational modifications in prokaryotes.
Ming Kun Yang,Yaohua Yang,Zhuo Chen,Zhang Jia,Yan Lin,Yan Wang,Qian Xiong,Tao Li,Feng Ge,Donald A. Bryant,Jindong Zhao +10 more
TL;DR: An integrated workflow for proteogenomic analysis and global profiling of posttranslational modifications (PTM) in prokaryotes is described and it is suggested that it should become a standard part of genome annotation projects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oral microbiome and obesity in a large study of low-income and African-American populations.
TL;DR: Investigating the oral microbiome among 647 obese and 969 non-obese individuals from the Southern Community Cohort Study through 16S rRNA gene sequencing in mouth rinse samples indicates that multiple oral bacterialTaxa, including several probiotic taxa, were significantly associated with obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variation in oral microbiome is associated with future risk of lung cancer among never-smokers
H. Dean Hosgood,Qiuyin Cai,Xing Hua,Jirong Long,Jianxin Shi,Yunhu Wan,Yaohua Yang,Christian C. Abnet,Bryan A. Bassig,Wei Hu,Bu Tian Ji,Madelyn Klugman,Yong-Bing Xiang,Yu-Tang Gao,Jason Y.Y. Wong,Wei Zheng,Nathaniel Rothman,Xiao-Ou Shu,Qing Lan +18 more
TL;DR: The authors' prospective study of never-smokers suggests that lower alpha diversity was associated with a greater risk of lung cancer and the abundance of certain specific taxa was associatedWith altered risk, providing further insight into the aetiology of lungcancer in the absence of active tobacco smoking.
