    Sequence and structural convergence of broad and potent HIV antibodies that mimic CD4 binding (2011)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-07-19
    Description: Passive transfer of broadly neutralizing HIV antibodies can prevent infection, which suggests that vaccines that elicit such antibodies would be protective. Thus far, however, few broadly neutralizing HIV antibodies that occur naturally have been characterized. To determine whether these antibodies are part of a larger group of related molecules, we cloned 576 new HIV antibodies from four unrelated individuals. All four individuals produced expanded clones of potent broadly neutralizing CD4-binding-site antibodies that mimic binding to CD4. Despite extensive hypermutation, the new antibodies shared a consensus sequence of 68 immunoglobulin H (IgH) chain amino acids and arise independently from two related IgH genes. Comparison of the crystal structure of one of the antibodies to the broadly neutralizing antibody VRC01 revealed conservation of the contacts to the HIV spike.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3351836/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3351836/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Scheid, Johannes F -- Mouquet, Hugo -- Ueberheide, Beatrix -- Diskin, Ron -- Klein, Florian -- Oliveira, Thiago Y K -- Pietzsch, John -- Fenyo, David -- Abadir, Alexander -- Velinzon, Klara -- Hurley, Arlene -- Myung, Sunnie -- Boulad, Farid -- Poignard, Pascal -- Burton, Dennis R -- Pereyra, Florencia -- Ho, David D -- Walker, Bruce D -- Seaman, Michael S -- Bjorkman, Pamela J -- Chait, Brian T -- Nussenzweig, Michel C -- P01 AI081677/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- P30 AI060354/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI033292/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- RR00862/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- RR022220/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2011 Sep 16;333(6049):1633-7. doi: 10.1126/science.1207227.

    Rapamycin-induced insulin resistance is mediated by mTORC2 loss and uncoupled from longevity (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-03-31
    Description: Rapamycin, an inhibitor of mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), extends the life spans of yeast, flies, and mice. Calorie restriction, which increases life span and insulin sensitivity, is proposed to function by inhibition of mTORC1, yet paradoxically, chronic administration of rapamycin substantially impairs glucose tolerance and insulin action. We demonstrate that rapamycin disrupted a second mTOR complex, mTORC2, in vivo and that mTORC2 was required for the insulin-mediated suppression of hepatic gluconeogenesis. Further, decreased mTORC1 signaling was sufficient to extend life span independently from changes in glucose homeostasis, as female mice heterozygous for both mTOR and mLST8 exhibited decreased mTORC1 activity and extended life span but had normal glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. Thus, mTORC2 disruption is an important mediator of the effects of rapamycin in vivo.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3324089/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3324089/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lamming, Dudley W -- Ye, Lan -- Katajisto, Pekka -- Goncalves, Marcus D -- Saitoh, Maki -- Stevens, Deanna M -- Davis, James G -- Salmon, Adam B -- Richardson, Arlan -- Ahima, Rexford S -- Guertin, David A -- Sabatini, David M -- Baur, Joseph A -- 1F32AG032833-01A1/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- CA129105/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- F32 AG032833/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- P30DK19525/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA129105/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA129105-05/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Mar 30;335(6076):1638-43. doi: 10.1126/science.1215135.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Cambridge, MA 02142, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22461615" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Evolution and functional impact of rare coding variation from deep sequencing of human exomes (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-05-19
    Description: As a first step toward understanding how rare variants contribute to risk for complex diseases, we sequenced 15,585 human protein-coding genes to an average median depth of 111x in 2440 individuals of European (n = 1351) and African (n = 1088) ancestry. We identified over 500,000 single-nucleotide variants (SNVs), the majority of which were rare (86% with a minor allele frequency less than 0.5%), previously unknown (82%), and population-specific (82%). On average, 2.3% of the 13,595 SNVs each person carried were predicted to affect protein function of ~313 genes per genome, and ~95.7% of SNVs predicted to be functionally important were rare. This excess of rare functional variants is due to the combined effects of explosive, recent accelerated population growth and weak purifying selection. Furthermore, we show that large sample sizes will be required to associate rare variants with complex traits.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3708544/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3708544/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tennessen, Jacob A -- Bigham, Abigail W -- O'Connor, Timothy D -- Fu, Wenqing -- Kenny, Eimear E -- Gravel, Simon -- McGee, Sean -- Do, Ron -- Liu, Xiaoming -- Jun, Goo -- Kang, Hyun Min -- Jordan, Daniel -- Leal, Suzanne M -- Gabriel, Stacey -- Rieder, Mark J -- Abecasis, Goncalo -- Altshuler, David -- Nickerson, Deborah A -- Boerwinkle, Eric -- Sunyaev, Shamil -- Bustamante, Carlos D -- Bamshad, Michael J -- Akey, Joshua M -- Broad GO -- Seattle GO -- NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project -- R01 HG003229/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- RC2 HL-102923/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- RC2 HL-102924/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- RC2 HL-102925/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- RC2 HL-102926/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- RC2 HL-103010/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- RC2 HL102926/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Jul 6;337(6090):64-9. doi: 10.1126/science.1219240.

    A systematic survey of loss-of-function variants in human protein-coding genes (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-02-22
    Description: Genome-sequencing studies indicate that all humans carry many genetic variants predicted to cause loss of function (LoF) of protein-coding genes, suggesting unexpected redundancy in the human genome. Here we apply stringent filters to 2951 putative LoF variants obtained from 185 human genomes to determine their true prevalence and properties. We estimate that human genomes typically contain ~100 genuine LoF variants with ~20 genes completely inactivated. We identify rare and likely deleterious LoF alleles, including 26 known and 21 predicted severe disease-causing variants, as well as common LoF variants in nonessential genes. We describe functional and evolutionary differences between LoF-tolerant and recessive disease genes and a method for using these differences to prioritize candidate genes found in clinical sequencing studies.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3299548/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3299548/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉MacArthur, Daniel G -- Balasubramanian, Suganthi -- Frankish, Adam -- Huang, Ni -- Morris, James -- Walter, Klaudia -- Jostins, Luke -- Habegger, Lukas -- Pickrell, Joseph K -- Montgomery, Stephen B -- Albers, Cornelis A -- Zhang, Zhengdong D -- Conrad, Donald F -- Lunter, Gerton -- Zheng, Hancheng -- Ayub, Qasim -- DePristo, Mark A -- Banks, Eric -- Hu, Min -- Handsaker, Robert E -- Rosenfeld, Jeffrey A -- Fromer, Menachem -- Jin, Mike -- Mu, Xinmeng Jasmine -- Khurana, Ekta -- Ye, Kai -- Kay, Mike -- Saunders, Gary Ian -- Suner, Marie-Marthe -- Hunt, Toby -- Barnes, If H A -- Amid, Clara -- Carvalho-Silva, Denise R -- Bignell, Alexandra H -- Snow, Catherine -- Yngvadottir, Bryndis -- Bumpstead, Suzannah -- Cooper, David N -- Xue, Yali -- Romero, Irene Gallego -- 1000 Genomes Project Consortium -- Wang, Jun -- Li, Yingrui -- Gibbs, Richard A -- McCarroll, Steven A -- Dermitzakis, Emmanouil T -- Pritchard, Jonathan K -- Barrett, Jeffrey C -- Harrow, Jennifer -- Hurles, Matthew E -- Gerstein, Mark B -- Tyler-Smith, Chris -- 085532/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 090532/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 090532/Z/09/Z/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 098051/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- BB/I02593X/1/Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- RG/09/012/28096/British Heart Foundation/United Kingdom -- U54 HG003273/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Feb 17;335(6070):823-8. doi: 10.1126/science.1215040.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Hinxton, UK. macarthur@atgu.mgh.harvard.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22344438" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Financial costs of meeting global biodiversity conservation targets: current spending and unmet needs (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-10-16
    Description: World governments have committed to halting human-induced extinctions and safeguarding important sites for biodiversity by 2020, but the financial costs of meeting these targets are largely unknown. We estimate the cost of reducing the extinction risk of all globally threatened bird species (by 〉/=1 International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List category) to be U.S. $0.875 to $1.23 billion annually over the next decade, of which 12% is currently funded. Incorporating threatened nonavian species increases this total to U.S. $3.41 to $4.76 billion annually. We estimate that protecting and effectively managing all terrestrial sites of global avian conservation significance (11,731 Important Bird Areas) would cost U.S. $65.1 billion annually. Adding sites for other taxa increases this to U.S. $76.1 billion annually. Meeting these targets will require conservation funding to increase by at least an order of magnitude.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉McCarthy, Donal P -- Donald, Paul F -- Scharlemann, Jorn P W -- Buchanan, Graeme M -- Balmford, Andrew -- Green, Jonathan M H -- Bennun, Leon A -- Burgess, Neil D -- Fishpool, Lincoln D C -- Garnett, Stephen T -- Leonard, David L -- Maloney, Richard F -- Morling, Paul -- Schaefer, H Martin -- Symes, Andy -- Wiedenfeld, David A -- Butchart, Stuart H M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Nov 16;338(6109):946-9. doi: 10.1126/science.1229803.

    Shear-activated nanotherapeutics for drug targeting to obstructed blood vessels (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-07-07
    Description: Obstruction of critical blood vessels due to thrombosis or embolism is a leading cause of death worldwide. Here, we describe a biomimetic strategy that uses high shear stress caused by vascular narrowing as a targeting mechanism--in the same way platelets do--to deliver drugs to obstructed blood vessels. Microscale aggregates of nanoparticles were fabricated to break up into nanoscale components when exposed to abnormally high fluid shear stress. When coated with tissue plasminogen activator and administered intravenously in mice, these shear-activated nanotherapeutics induce rapid clot dissolution in a mesenteric injury model, restore normal flow dynamics, and increase survival in an otherwise fatal mouse pulmonary embolism model. This biophysical strategy for drug targeting, which lowers required doses and minimizes side effects while maximizing drug efficacy, offers a potential new approach for treatment of life-threatening diseases that result from acute vascular occlusion.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Korin, Netanel -- Kanapathipillai, Mathumai -- Matthews, Benjamin D -- Crescente, Marilena -- Brill, Alexander -- Mammoto, Tadanori -- Ghosh, Kaustabh -- Jurek, Samuel -- Bencherif, Sidi A -- Bhatta, Deen -- Coskun, Ahmet U -- Feldman, Charles L -- Wagner, Denisa D -- Ingber, Donald E -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Aug 10;337(6095):738-42. doi: 10.1126/science.1217815.

    Genetic restoration of the Florida panther (2010)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-10-12
    Description: The rediscovery of remnant Florida panthers (Puma concolor coryi) in southern Florida swamplands prompted a program to protect and stabilize the population. In 1995, conservation managers translocated eight female pumas (P. c. stanleyana) from Texas to increase depleted genetic diversity, improve population numbers, and reverse indications of inbreeding depression. We have assessed the demographic, population-genetic, and biomedical consequences of this restoration experiment and show that panther numbers increased threefold, genetic heterozygosity doubled, survival and fitness measures improved, and inbreeding correlates declined significantly. Although these results are encouraging, continued habitat loss, persistent inbreeding, infectious agents, and possible habitat saturation pose new dilemmas. This intensive management program illustrates the challenges of maintaining populations of large predators worldwide.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Johnson, Warren E -- Onorato, David P -- Roelke, Melody E -- Land, E Darrell -- Cunningham, Mark -- Belden, Robert C -- McBride, Roy -- Jansen, Deborah -- Lotz, Mark -- Shindle, David -- Howard, JoGayle -- Wildt, David E -- Penfold, Linda M -- Hostetler, Jeffrey A -- Oli, Madan K -- O'Brien, Stephen J -- N01-CO-12400/CO/NCI NIH HHS/ -- Intramural NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 Sep 24;329(5999):1641-5. doi: 10.1126/science.1192891.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Genomic Diversity, National Cancer Institute, Frederick, MD 21702, USA. warjohns@mail.nih.gov〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20929847" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Global biodiversity: indicators of recent declines (2010)

    Publication Date: 2010-05-01
    Description: In 2002, world leaders committed, through the Convention on Biological Diversity, to achieve a significant reduction in the rate of biodiversity loss by 2010. We compiled 31 indicators to report on progress toward this target. Most indicators of the state of biodiversity (covering species' population trends, extinction risk, habitat extent and condition, and community composition) showed declines, with no significant recent reductions in rate, whereas indicators of pressures on biodiversity (including resource consumption, invasive alien species, nitrogen pollution, overexploitation, and climate change impacts) showed increases. Despite some local successes and increasing responses (including extent and biodiversity coverage of protected areas, sustainable forest management, policy responses to invasive alien species, and biodiversity-related aid), the rate of biodiversity loss does not appear to be slowing.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Butchart, Stuart H M -- Walpole, Matt -- Collen, Ben -- van Strien, Arco -- Scharlemann, Jorn P W -- Almond, Rosamunde E A -- Baillie, Jonathan E M -- Bomhard, Bastian -- Brown, Claire -- Bruno, John -- Carpenter, Kent E -- Carr, Genevieve M -- Chanson, Janice -- Chenery, Anna M -- Csirke, Jorge -- Davidson, Nick C -- Dentener, Frank -- Foster, Matt -- Galli, Alessandro -- Galloway, James N -- Genovesi, Piero -- Gregory, Richard D -- Hockings, Marc -- Kapos, Valerie -- Lamarque, Jean-Francois -- Leverington, Fiona -- Loh, Jonathan -- McGeoch, Melodie A -- McRae, Louise -- Minasyan, Anahit -- Hernandez Morcillo, Monica -- Oldfield, Thomasina E E -- Pauly, Daniel -- Quader, Suhel -- Revenga, Carmen -- Sauer, John R -- Skolnik, Benjamin -- Spear, Dian -- Stanwell-Smith, Damon -- Stuart, Simon N -- Symes, Andy -- Tierney, Megan -- Tyrrell, Tristan D -- Vie, Jean-Christophe -- Watson, Reg -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 May 28;328(5982):1164-8. doi: 10.1126/science.1187512.

    Interactions between commensal fungi and the C-type lectin receptor Dectin-1 influence colitis (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-06-08
    Description: The intestinal microflora, typically equated with bacteria, influences diseases such as obesity and inflammatory bowel disease. Here, we show that the mammalian gut contains a rich fungal community that interacts with the immune system through the innate immune receptor Dectin-1. Mice lacking Dectin-1 exhibited increased susceptibility to chemically induced colitis, which was the result of altered responses to indigenous fungi. In humans, we identified a polymorphism in the gene for Dectin-1 (CLEC7A) that is strongly linked to a severe form of ulcerative colitis. Together, our findings reveal a eukaryotic fungal community in the gut (the "mycobiome") that coexists with bacteria and substantially expands the repertoire of organisms interacting with the intestinal immune system to influence health and disease.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3432565/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3432565/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Iliev, Iliyan D -- Funari, Vincent A -- Taylor, Kent D -- Nguyen, Quoclinh -- Reyes, Christopher N -- Strom, Samuel P -- Brown, Jordan -- Becker, Courtney A -- Fleshner, Phillip R -- Dubinsky, Marla -- Rotter, Jerome I -- Wang, Hanlin L -- McGovern, Dermot P B -- Brown, Gordon D -- Underhill, David M -- 086558/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- AI071116/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- P01-DK046763/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 DK093426/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- UL1 RR033176/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- UL1 TR000124/TR/NCATS NIH HHS/ -- UL1RR033176/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Jun 8;336(6086):1314-7. doi: 10.1126/science.1221789.

    Description: Interpreting variants, especially noncoding ones, in the increasing number of personal genomes is challenging. We used patterns of polymorphisms in functionally annotated regions in 1092 humans to identify deleterious variants; then we experimentally validated candidates. We analyzed both coding and noncoding regions, with the former corroborating the latter. We found regions particularly sensitive to mutations ("ultrasensitive") and variants that are disruptive because of mechanistic effects on transcription-factor binding (that is, "motif-breakers"). We also found variants in regions with higher network centrality tend to be deleterious. Insertions and deletions followed a similar pattern to single-nucleotide variants, with some notable exceptions (e.g., certain deletions and enhancers). On the basis of these patterns, we developed a computational tool (FunSeq), whose application to ~90 cancer genomes reveals nearly a hundred candidate noncoding drivers.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3947637/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3947637/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Khurana, Ekta -- Fu, Yao -- Colonna, Vincenza -- Mu, Xinmeng Jasmine -- Kang, Hyun Min -- Lappalainen, Tuuli -- Sboner, Andrea -- Lochovsky, Lucas -- Chen, Jieming -- Harmanci, Arif -- Das, Jishnu -- Abyzov, Alexej -- Balasubramanian, Suganthi -- Beal, Kathryn -- Chakravarty, Dimple -- Challis, Daniel -- Chen, Yuan -- Clarke, Declan -- Clarke, Laura -- Cunningham, Fiona -- Evani, Uday S -- Flicek, Paul -- Fragoza, Robert -- Garrison, Erik -- Gibbs, Richard -- Gumus, Zeynep H -- Herrero, Javier -- Kitabayashi, Naoki -- Kong, Yong -- Lage, Kasper -- Liluashvili, Vaja -- Lipkin, Steven M -- MacArthur, Daniel G -- Marth, Gabor -- Muzny, Donna -- Pers, Tune H -- Ritchie, Graham R S -- Rosenfeld, Jeffrey A -- Sisu, Cristina -- Wei, Xiaomu -- Wilson, Michael -- Xue, Yali -- Yu, Fuli -- 1000 Genomes Project Consortium -- Dermitzakis, Emmanouil T -- Yu, Haiyuan -- Rubin, Mark A -- Tyler-Smith, Chris -- Gerstein, Mark -- 085532/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 090532/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 095908/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 098051/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- CA167824/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- G12 MD007579/MD/NIMHD NIH HHS/ -- G12 RR003050/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- GM104424/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- HG005718/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- HG007000/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- P20 MD006899/MD/NIMHD NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA166661/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG002898/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01CA152057/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01HG4719/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U01 CA111275/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- U01 HG005718/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U01HG6513/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U41 HG007000/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG003079/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- UL1 TR000457/TR/NCATS NIH HHS/ -- WT085532/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- WT095908/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 Oct 4;342(6154):1235587. doi: 10.1126/science.1235587.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Program in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06520, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24092746" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
