Journal ArticleDOI

Exploring the phenotypic consequences of tissue specific gene expression variation inferred from GWAS summary statistics.

Alvaro N. Barbeira, +263 more
TL;DR: A mathematical expression is derived to compute PrediXcan results using summary data, and the effects of gene expression variation on human phenotypes in 44 GTEx tissues and >100 phenotypes are investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural visualization of key steps in human transcription initiation

TL;DR: These structural analyses provide pseudo-atomic models at various stages of transcription initiation that illuminate critical molecular interactions, including how TFIIF engages Pol II and promoter DNA to stabilize both the closed pre-initiation complex and the open-promoter complex, and to regulate start--initiation complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Near-atomic resolution visualization of human transcription promoter opening

TL;DR: Cryo-electron microscropy is used to determine near-atomic resolution structures of the human PIC in a closed state, an open state, and an initially transcribing complex, illustrating the sequential conformational changes that accompany the transition from each state to the next throughout the transcription initiation process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure of promoter-bound TFIID and model of human pre-initiation complex assembly

TL;DR: Superposition of common elements between the two structures provides novel insights into the general role of TFIID in promoter recognition, PIC assembly, and transcription initiation.
