PPARγΔ5, a Naturally Occurring Dominant-Negative Splice Isoform, Impairs PPARγ Function and Adipocyte Differentiation.

TLDR
The skipping of exon 5 is reported as a legitimate splicing event generating PPARγΔ5, a previously unidentified naturally occurring truncated isoform ofPPARγ, which lacks the entire ligand-binding domain and mimics PPARG dominant-negative mutated receptors, possibly contributing to adipose tissue dysfunction.

PPARgamma in Metabolism, Immunity, and Cancer: Unified and Diverse Mechanisms of Action.

TL;DR: The proliferation-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, is one of the most extensively studied ligand-inducible transcription factors as mentioned in this paper.

Gene-gene and gene-environment interactions in lipodystrophy: Lessons learned from natural PPARγ mutants

TL;DR: Several gene-gene and gene-environment factors and mechanisms that are critical for adequate PPARγ expression and activity in AT are presented and how these interactions potentially contribute to the observed spectrum of FPLD3 phenotypes are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

HNF4α Combinatorial Isoform Heterodimers Activate Distinct Gene Targets that Differ from Their Corresponding Homodimers.

TL;DR: It is shown that inflammation and immune pathway genes are differentially regulated in an isoform-dependent manner, confirming that each isoform homodimer preferentially regulates a subset of HNF4α targets.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nuclear receptors in podocyte biology and glomerular disease.

TL;DR: The authors focus on the roles of nuclear receptors in podocyte biology and non-diabetic glomerular disease as well as their potential as therapeutic targets.

The Sequence Alignment/Map format and SAMtools

TL;DR: SAMtools as discussed by the authors implements various utilities for post-processing alignments in the SAM format, such as indexing, variant caller and alignment viewer, and thus provides universal tools for processing read alignments.

BEDTools: a flexible suite of utilities for comparing genomic features

TL;DR: A new software suite for the comparison, manipulation and annotation of genomic features in Browser Extensible Data (BED) and General Feature Format (GFF) format, which allows the user to compare large datasets (e.g. next-generation sequencing data) with both public and custom genome annotation tracks.

Differential gene and transcript expression analysis of RNA-seq experiments with TopHat and Cufflinks

TL;DR: This protocol begins with raw sequencing reads and produces a transcriptome assembly, lists of differentially expressed and regulated genes and transcripts, and publication-quality visualizations of analysis results, which takes less than 1 d of computer time for typical experiments and ∼1 h of hands-on time.

KEGG: new perspectives on genomes, pathways, diseases and drugs

TL;DR: The content has been expanded and the quality improved irrespective of whether or not the KOs appear in the three molecular network databases, and the newly introduced addendum category of the GENES database is a collection of individual proteins whose functions are experimentally characterized and from which an increasing number of KOs are defined.

GREAT improves functional interpretation of cis-regulatory regions

TL;DR: The Genomic Regions Enrichment of Annotations Tool (GREAT) is developed to analyze the functional significance of cis-regulatory regions identified by localized measurements of DNA binding events across an entire genome.
