Ming Li,Yin Mo,Xiong-Jian Luo,Xiong-Jian Luo,Xiao Xiao,Lei Shi,Lei Shi,Yingmei Peng,Yingmei Peng,Xuebin Qi,Xing-yan Liu,Li-de Yin,Hong-bo Diao,Bing Su +13 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that GSK3β is likely a risk gene for schizophrenia, and its expression alteration caused by the risk SNP in the promoter region may contribute to the etiology of schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A genome-wide comparison between dark-skinned Africans and Austro-Asiatic speaking aborigines and light-skinned northern Han Chinese identified the pigmentation gene OCA2, showing unusually deep allelic divergence between these groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is shown that interleukin-3 (IL3) is strongly associated with brain volume variation in four genetically divergent populations and novel roles of IL3 in regulating brain development are revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple inter-kingdom horizontal gene transfers in the evolution of the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase gene family
TL;DR: The phylogenetic analysis of pepcase gene family showed that both PTPC and BTPC are derived from an ancestral lineage of gamma-proteobacteriapepcases, possibly via an ancient inter-kingdom horizontal gene transfer (HGT) from bacteria to the eukaryotic common ancestor of plants, protists and cellular slime mold.
