    Description: DNA sequence information underpins genetic research, enabling discoveries of important biological or medical benefit. Sequencing projects have traditionally used long (400-800 base pair) reads, but the existence of reference sequences for the human and many other genomes makes it possible to develop new, fast approaches to re-sequencing, whereby shorter reads are compared to a reference to identify intraspecies genetic variation. Here we report an approach that generates several billion bases of accurate nucleotide sequence per experiment at low cost. Single molecules of DNA are attached to a flat surface, amplified in situ and used as templates for synthetic sequencing with fluorescent reversible terminator deoxyribonucleotides. Images of the surface are analysed to generate high-quality sequence. We demonstrate application of this approach to human genome sequencing on flow-sorted X chromosomes and then scale the approach to determine the genome sequence of a male Yoruba from Ibadan, Nigeria. We build an accurate consensus sequence from 〉30x average depth of paired 35-base reads. We characterize four million single-nucleotide polymorphisms and four hundred thousand structural variants, many of which were previously unknown. Our approach is effective for accurate, rapid and economical whole-genome re-sequencing and many other biomedical applications.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2581791/" 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/PMC2581791/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bentley, David R -- Balasubramanian, Shankar -- Swerdlow, Harold P -- Smith, Geoffrey P -- Milton, John -- Brown, Clive G -- Hall, Kevin P -- Evers, Dirk J -- Barnes, Colin L -- Bignell, Helen R -- Boutell, Jonathan M -- Bryant, Jason -- Carter, Richard J -- Keira Cheetham, R -- Cox, Anthony J -- Ellis, Darren J -- Flatbush, Michael R -- Gormley, Niall A -- Humphray, Sean J -- Irving, Leslie J -- Karbelashvili, Mirian S -- Kirk, Scott M -- Li, Heng -- Liu, Xiaohai -- Maisinger, Klaus S -- Murray, Lisa J -- Obradovic, Bojan -- Ost, Tobias -- Parkinson, Michael L -- Pratt, Mark R -- Rasolonjatovo, Isabelle M J -- Reed, Mark T -- Rigatti, Roberto -- Rodighiero, Chiara -- Ross, Mark T -- Sabot, Andrea -- Sankar, Subramanian V -- Scally, Aylwyn -- Schroth, Gary P -- Smith, Mark E -- Smith, Vincent P -- Spiridou, Anastassia -- Torrance, Peta E -- Tzonev, Svilen S -- Vermaas, Eric H -- Walter, Klaudia -- Wu, Xiaolin -- Zhang, Lu -- Alam, Mohammed D -- Anastasi, Carole -- Aniebo, Ify C -- Bailey, David M D -- Bancarz, Iain R -- Banerjee, Saibal -- Barbour, Selena G -- Baybayan, Primo A -- Benoit, Vincent A -- Benson, Kevin F -- Bevis, Claire -- Black, Phillip J -- Boodhun, Asha -- Brennan, Joe S -- Bridgham, John A -- Brown, Rob C -- Brown, Andrew A -- Buermann, Dale H -- Bundu, Abass A -- Burrows, James C -- Carter, Nigel P -- Castillo, Nestor -- Chiara E Catenazzi, Maria -- Chang, Simon -- Neil Cooley, R -- Crake, Natasha R -- Dada, Olubunmi O -- Diakoumakos, Konstantinos D -- Dominguez-Fernandez, Belen -- Earnshaw, David J -- Egbujor, Ugonna C -- Elmore, David W -- Etchin, Sergey S -- Ewan, Mark R -- Fedurco, Milan -- Fraser, Louise J -- Fuentes Fajardo, Karin V -- Scott Furey, W -- George, David -- Gietzen, Kimberley J -- Goddard, Colin P -- Golda, George S -- Granieri, Philip A -- Green, David E -- Gustafson, David L -- Hansen, Nancy F -- Harnish, Kevin -- Haudenschild, Christian D -- Heyer, Narinder I -- Hims, Matthew M -- Ho, Johnny T -- Horgan, Adrian M -- Hoschler, Katya -- Hurwitz, Steve -- Ivanov, Denis V -- Johnson, Maria Q -- James, Terena -- Huw Jones, T A -- Kang, Gyoung-Dong -- Kerelska, Tzvetana H -- Kersey, Alan D -- Khrebtukova, Irina -- Kindwall, Alex P -- Kingsbury, Zoya -- Kokko-Gonzales, Paula I -- Kumar, Anil -- Laurent, Marc A -- Lawley, Cynthia T -- Lee, Sarah E -- Lee, Xavier -- Liao, Arnold K -- Loch, Jennifer A -- Lok, Mitch -- Luo, Shujun -- Mammen, Radhika M -- Martin, John W -- McCauley, Patrick G -- McNitt, Paul -- Mehta, Parul -- Moon, Keith W -- Mullens, Joe W -- Newington, Taksina -- Ning, Zemin -- Ling Ng, Bee -- Novo, Sonia M -- O'Neill, Michael J -- Osborne, Mark A -- Osnowski, Andrew -- Ostadan, Omead -- Paraschos, Lambros L -- Pickering, Lea -- Pike, Andrew C -- Pike, Alger C -- Chris Pinkard, D -- Pliskin, Daniel P -- Podhasky, Joe -- Quijano, Victor J -- Raczy, Come -- Rae, Vicki H -- Rawlings, Stephen R -- Chiva Rodriguez, Ana -- Roe, Phyllida M -- Rogers, John -- Rogert Bacigalupo, Maria C -- Romanov, Nikolai -- Romieu, Anthony -- Roth, Rithy K -- Rourke, Natalie J -- Ruediger, Silke T -- Rusman, Eli -- Sanches-Kuiper, Raquel M -- Schenker, Martin R -- Seoane, Josefina M -- Shaw, Richard J -- Shiver, Mitch K -- Short, Steven W -- Sizto, Ning L -- Sluis, Johannes P -- Smith, Melanie A -- Ernest Sohna Sohna, Jean -- Spence, Eric J -- Stevens, Kim -- Sutton, Neil -- Szajkowski, Lukasz -- Tregidgo, Carolyn L -- Turcatti, Gerardo -- Vandevondele, Stephanie -- Verhovsky, Yuli -- Virk, Selene M -- Wakelin, Suzanne -- Walcott, Gregory C -- Wang, Jingwen -- Worsley, Graham J -- Yan, Juying -- Yau, Ling -- Zuerlein, Mike -- Rogers, Jane -- Mullikin, James C -- Hurles, Matthew E -- McCooke, Nick J -- West, John S -- Oaks, Frank L -- Lundberg, Peter L -- Klenerman, David -- Durbin, Richard -- Smith, Anthony J -- B05823/Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- G0701805/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- MOL04534/Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- Z01 HG200330-03/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- England -- Nature. 2008 Nov 6;456(7218):53-9. doi: 10.1038/nature07517.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Illumina Cambridge Ltd.

    Description: Determining the genetic basis of cancer requires comprehensive analyses of large collections of histopathologically well-classified primary tumours. Here we report the results of a collaborative study to discover somatic mutations in 188 human lung adenocarcinomas. DNA sequencing of 623 genes with known or potential relationships to cancer revealed more than 1,000 somatic mutations across the samples. Our analysis identified 26 genes that are mutated at significantly high frequencies and thus are probably involved in carcinogenesis. The frequently mutated genes include tyrosine kinases, among them the EGFR homologue ERBB4; multiple ephrin receptor genes, notably EPHA3; vascular endothelial growth factor receptor KDR; and NTRK genes. These data provide evidence of somatic mutations in primary lung adenocarcinoma for several tumour suppressor genes involved in other cancers--including NF1, APC, RB1 and ATM--and for sequence changes in PTPRD as well as the frequently deleted gene LRP1B. The observed mutational profiles correlate with clinical features, smoking status and DNA repair defects. These results are reinforced by data integration including single nucleotide polymorphism array and gene expression array. Our findings shed further light on several important signalling pathways involved in lung adenocarcinoma, and suggest new molecular targets for treatment.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2694412/" 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/PMC2694412/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ding, Li -- Getz, Gad -- Wheeler, David A -- Mardis, Elaine R -- McLellan, Michael D -- Cibulskis, Kristian -- Sougnez, Carrie -- Greulich, Heidi -- Muzny, Donna M -- Morgan, Margaret B -- Fulton, Lucinda -- Fulton, Robert S -- Zhang, Qunyuan -- Wendl, Michael C -- Lawrence, Michael S -- Larson, David E -- Chen, Ken -- Dooling, David J -- Sabo, Aniko -- Hawes, Alicia C -- Shen, Hua -- Jhangiani, Shalini N -- Lewis, Lora R -- Hall, Otis -- Zhu, Yiming -- Mathew, Tittu -- Ren, Yanru -- Yao, Jiqiang -- Scherer, Steven E -- Clerc, Kerstin -- Metcalf, Ginger A -- Ng, Brian -- Milosavljevic, Aleksandar -- Gonzalez-Garay, Manuel L -- Osborne, John R -- Meyer, Rick -- Shi, Xiaoqi -- Tang, Yuzhu -- Koboldt, Daniel C -- Lin, Ling -- Abbott, Rachel -- Miner, Tracie L -- Pohl, Craig -- Fewell, Ginger -- Haipek, Carrie -- Schmidt, Heather -- Dunford-Shore, Brian H -- Kraja, Aldi -- Crosby, Seth D -- Sawyer, Christopher S -- Vickery, Tammi -- Sander, Sacha -- Robinson, Jody -- Winckler, Wendy -- Baldwin, Jennifer -- Chirieac, Lucian R -- Dutt, Amit -- Fennell, Tim -- Hanna, Megan -- Johnson, Bruce E -- Onofrio, Robert C -- Thomas, Roman K -- Tonon, Giovanni -- Weir, Barbara A -- Zhao, Xiaojun -- Ziaugra, Liuda -- Zody, Michael C -- Giordano, Thomas -- Orringer, Mark B -- Roth, Jack A -- Spitz, Margaret R -- Wistuba, Ignacio I -- Ozenberger, Bradley -- Good, Peter J -- Chang, Andrew C -- Beer, David G -- Watson, Mark A -- Ladanyi, Marc -- Broderick, Stephen -- Yoshizawa, Akihiko -- Travis, William D -- Pao, William -- Province, Michael A -- Weinstock, George M -- Varmus, Harold E -- Gabriel, Stacey B -- Lander, Eric S -- Gibbs, Richard A -- Meyerson, Matthew -- Wilson, Richard K -- P50 CA070907/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA154365/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- U19 CA084953/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- U19 CA084953-050003/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG003067/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG003067-04/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG003273/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2008 Oct 23;455(7216):1069-75. doi: 10.1038/nature07423.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉The Genome Center at Washington University, Department of Genetics, Washington University School of Medicine, St Louis, Missouri 63108, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18948947" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: All cancers carry somatic mutations. A subset of these somatic alterations, termed driver mutations, confer selective growth advantage and are implicated in cancer development, whereas the remainder are passengers. Here we have sequenced the genomes of a malignant melanoma and a lymphoblastoid cell line from the same person, providing the first comprehensive catalogue of somatic mutations from an individual cancer. The catalogue provides remarkable insights into the forces that have shaped this cancer genome. The dominant mutational signature reflects DNA damage due to ultraviolet light exposure, a known risk factor for malignant melanoma, whereas the uneven distribution of mutations across the genome, with a lower prevalence in gene footprints, indicates that DNA repair has been preferentially deployed towards transcribed regions. The results illustrate the power of a cancer genome sequence to reveal traces of the DNA damage, repair, mutation and selection processes that were operative years before the cancer became symptomatic.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3145108/" 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/PMC3145108/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Pleasance, Erin D -- Cheetham, R Keira -- Stephens, Philip J -- McBride, David J -- Humphray, Sean J -- Greenman, Chris D -- Varela, Ignacio -- Lin, Meng-Lay -- Ordonez, Gonzalo R -- Bignell, Graham R -- Ye, Kai -- Alipaz, Julie -- Bauer, Markus J -- Beare, David -- Butler, Adam -- Carter, Richard J -- Chen, Lina -- Cox, Anthony J -- Edkins, Sarah -- Kokko-Gonzales, Paula I -- Gormley, Niall A -- Grocock, Russell J -- Haudenschild, Christian D -- Hims, Matthew M -- James, Terena -- Jia, Mingming -- Kingsbury, Zoya -- Leroy, Catherine -- Marshall, John -- Menzies, Andrew -- Mudie, Laura J -- Ning, Zemin -- Royce, Tom -- Schulz-Trieglaff, Ole B -- Spiridou, Anastassia -- Stebbings, Lucy A -- Szajkowski, Lukasz -- Teague, Jon -- Williamson, David -- Chin, Lynda -- Ross, Mark T -- Campbell, Peter J -- Bentley, David R -- Futreal, P Andrew -- Stratton, Michael R -- 077012/Z/05/Z/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 088340/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 093867/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- England -- Nature. 2010 Jan 14;463(7278):191-6. doi: 10.1038/nature08658.

    Description: We present a draft genome sequence of the platypus, Ornithorhynchus anatinus. This monotreme exhibits a fascinating combination of reptilian and mammalian characters. For example, platypuses have a coat of fur adapted to an aquatic lifestyle; platypus females lactate, yet lay eggs; and males are equipped with venom similar to that of reptiles. Analysis of the first monotreme genome aligned these features with genetic innovations. We find that reptile and platypus venom proteins have been co-opted independently from the same gene families; milk protein genes are conserved despite platypuses laying eggs; and immune gene family expansions are directly related to platypus biology. Expansions of protein, non-protein-coding RNA and microRNA families, as well as repeat elements, are identified. Sequencing of this genome now provides a valuable resource for deep mammalian comparative analyses, as well as for monotreme biology and conservation.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2803040/" 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/PMC2803040/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Warren, Wesley C -- Hillier, LaDeana W -- Marshall Graves, Jennifer A -- Birney, Ewan -- Ponting, Chris P -- Grutzner, Frank -- Belov, Katherine -- Miller, Webb -- Clarke, Laura -- Chinwalla, Asif T -- Yang, Shiaw-Pyng -- Heger, Andreas -- Locke, Devin P -- Miethke, Pat -- Waters, Paul D -- Veyrunes, Frederic -- Fulton, Lucinda -- Fulton, Bob -- Graves, Tina -- Wallis, John -- Puente, Xose S -- Lopez-Otin, Carlos -- Ordonez, Gonzalo R -- Eichler, Evan E -- Chen, Lin -- Cheng, Ze -- Deakin, Janine E -- Alsop, Amber -- Thompson, Katherine -- Kirby, Patrick -- Papenfuss, Anthony T -- Wakefield, Matthew J -- Olender, Tsviya -- Lancet, Doron -- Huttley, Gavin A -- Smit, Arian F A -- Pask, Andrew -- Temple-Smith, Peter -- Batzer, Mark A -- Walker, Jerilyn A -- Konkel, Miriam K -- Harris, Robert S -- Whittington, Camilla M -- Wong, Emily S W -- Gemmell, Neil J -- Buschiazzo, Emmanuel -- Vargas Jentzsch, Iris M -- Merkel, Angelika -- Schmitz, Juergen -- Zemann, Anja -- Churakov, Gennady -- Kriegs, Jan Ole -- Brosius, Juergen -- Murchison, Elizabeth P -- Sachidanandam, Ravi -- Smith, Carly -- Hannon, Gregory J -- Tsend-Ayush, Enkhjargal -- McMillan, Daniel -- Attenborough, Rosalind -- Rens, Willem -- Ferguson-Smith, Malcolm -- Lefevre, Christophe M -- Sharp, Julie A -- Nicholas, Kevin R -- Ray, David A -- Kube, Michael -- Reinhardt, Richard -- Pringle, Thomas H -- Taylor, James -- Jones, Russell C -- Nixon, Brett -- Dacheux, Jean-Louis -- Niwa, Hitoshi -- Sekita, Yoko -- Huang, Xiaoqiu -- Stark, Alexander -- Kheradpour, Pouya -- Kellis, Manolis -- Flicek, Paul -- Chen, Yuan -- Webber, Caleb -- Hardison, Ross -- Nelson, Joanne -- Hallsworth-Pepin, Kym -- Delehaunty, Kim -- Markovic, Chris -- Minx, Pat -- Feng, Yucheng -- Kremitzki, Colin -- Mitreva, Makedonka -- Glasscock, Jarret -- Wylie, Todd -- Wohldmann, Patricia -- Thiru, Prathapan -- Nhan, Michael N -- Pohl, Craig S -- Smith, Scott M -- Hou, Shunfeng -- Nefedov, Mikhail -- de Jong, Pieter J -- Renfree, Marilyn B -- Mardis, Elaine R -- Wilson, Richard K -- 062023/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- HG002238/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- MC_U137761446/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- P01 CA013106/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA013106-37/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM59290/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG002939/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG004037/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG004037-02/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01HG02385/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- England -- Nature. 2008 May 8;453(7192):175-83. doi: 10.1038/nature06936.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Genome Sequencing Center, Washington University School of Medicine, Campus Box 8501, 4444 Forest Park Avenue, St Louis, Missouri 63108, USA. wwarren@wustl.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18464734" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the most common blood-borne infection in the United States, with estimates of 4 million HCV-infected individuals in the United States and 170 million worldwide. Most (70-80%) HCV infections persist and about 30% of individuals with persistent infection develop chronic liver disease, including cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Epidemiological, viral and host factors have been associated with the differences in HCV clearance or persistence, and studies have demonstrated that a strong host immune response against HCV favours viral clearance. Thus, variation in genes involved in the immune response may contribute to the ability to clear the virus. In a recent genome-wide association study, a single nucleotide polymorphism (rs12979860) 3 kilobases upstream of the IL28B gene, which encodes the type III interferon IFN-3, was shown to associate strongly with more than a twofold difference in response to HCV drug treatment. To determine the potential effect of rs12979860 variation on outcome to HCV infection in a natural history setting, we genotyped this variant in HCV cohorts comprised of individuals who spontaneously cleared the virus (n = 388) or had persistent infection (n = 620). We show that the C/C genotype strongly enhances resolution of HCV infection among individuals of both European and African ancestry. To our knowledge, this is the strongest and most significant genetic effect associated with natural clearance of HCV, and these results implicate a primary role for IL28B in resolution of HCV infection.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3172006/" 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/PMC3172006/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Thomas, David L -- Thio, Chloe L -- Martin, Maureen P -- Qi, Ying -- Ge, Dongliang -- O'Huigin, Colm -- Kidd, Judith -- Kidd, Kenneth -- Khakoo, Salim I -- Alexander, Graeme -- Goedert, James J -- Kirk, Gregory D -- Donfield, Sharyne M -- Rosen, Hugo R -- Tobler, Leslie H -- Busch, Michael P -- McHutchison, John G -- Goldstein, David B -- Carrington, Mary -- HHSN261200800001E/CO/NCI NIH HHS/ -- HHSN261200800001E/PHS HHS/ -- R01 DA004334/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- R01DA004334/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- R01DA013324/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- R01DK60590/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01HD41224/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R01HL076902/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R56 DA004334/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- Intramural NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 Oct 8;461(7265):798-801. doi: 10.1038/nature08463.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Johns Hopkins University, Division of Infectious Diseases, Baltimore, Maryland 21205, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19759533" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Understanding the neuropathology of multiple sclerosis (MS) is essential for improved therapies. Therefore, identification of targets specific to pathological types of MS may have therapeutic benefits. Here we identify, by laser-capture microdissection and proteomics, proteins unique to three major types of MS lesions: acute plaque, chronic active plaque and chronic plaque. Comparative proteomic profiles identified tissue factor and protein C inhibitor within chronic active plaque samples, suggesting dysregulation of molecules associated with coagulation. In vivo administration of hirudin or recombinant activated protein C reduced disease severity in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and suppressed Th1 and Th17 cytokines in astrocytes and immune cells. Administration of mutant forms of recombinant activated protein C showed that both its anticoagulant and its signalling functions were essential for optimal amelioration of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. A proteomic approach illuminated potential therapeutic targets selective for specific pathological stages of MS and implicated participation of the coagulation cascade.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Han, May H -- Hwang, Sun-Il -- Roy, Dolly B -- Lundgren, Deborah H -- Price, Jordan V -- Ousman, Shalina S -- Fernald, Guy Haskin -- Gerlitz, Bruce -- Robinson, William H -- Baranzini, Sergio E -- Grinnell, Brian W -- Raine, Cedric S -- Sobel, Raymond A -- Han, David K -- Steinman, Lawrence -- T32 AI007290/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2008 Feb 28;451(7182):1076-81. doi: 10.1038/nature06559.

    Description: Understanding inter-individual differences in stress response requires the explanation of genetic influences at multiple phenotypic levels, including complex behaviours and the metabolic responses of brain regions to emotional stimuli. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is anxiolytic and its release is induced by stress. NPY is abundantly expressed in regions of the limbic system that are implicated in arousal and in the assignment of emotional valences to stimuli and memories. Here we show that haplotype-driven NPY expression predicts brain responses to emotional and stress challenges and also inversely correlates with trait anxiety. NPY haplotypes predicted levels of NPY messenger RNA in post-mortem brain and lymphoblasts, and levels of plasma NPY. Lower haplotype-driven NPY expression predicted higher emotion-induced activation of the amygdala, as well as diminished resiliency as assessed by pain/stress-induced activations of endogenous opioid neurotransmission in various brain regions. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP rs16147) located in the promoter region alters NPY expression in vitro and seems to account for more than half of the variation in expression in vivo. These convergent findings are consistent with the function of NPY as an anxiolytic peptide and help to explain inter-individual variation in resiliency to stress, a risk factor for many diseases.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2715959/" 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/PMC2715959/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zhou, Zhifeng -- Zhu, Guanshan -- Hariri, Ahmad R -- Enoch, Mary-Anne -- Scott, David -- Sinha, Rajita -- Virkkunen, Matti -- Mash, Deborah C -- Lipsky, Robert H -- Hu, Xian-Zhang -- Hodgkinson, Colin A -- Xu, Ke -- Buzas, Beata -- Yuan, Qiaoping -- Shen, Pei-Hong -- Ferrell, Robert E -- Manuck, Stephen B -- Brown, Sarah M -- Hauger, Richard L -- Stohler, Christian S -- Zubieta, Jon-Kar -- Goldman, David -- K01 MH072837/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- K02-DA17232/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- P01 HL040962/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- P50-DA16556/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- PL1 DA024859/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- PL1 DA024859-02/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- R01 DA 016423/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- R01 DE 15396/DE/NIDCR NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL065137/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH074697/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH074697-04A1/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01-AA13892/AA/NIAAA NIH HHS/ -- Z01 AA000301-09/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- Z99 AA999999/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2008 Apr 24;452(7190):997-1001. doi: 10.1038/nature06858.

    Description: MicroRNAs are endogenous approximately 23-nucleotide RNAs that can pair to sites in the messenger RNAs of protein-coding genes to downregulate the expression from these messages. MicroRNAs are known to influence the evolution and stability of many mRNAs, but their global impact on protein output had not been examined. Here we use quantitative mass spectrometry to measure the response of thousands of proteins after introducing microRNAs into cultured cells and after deleting mir-223 in mouse neutrophils. The identities of the responsive proteins indicate that targeting is primarily through seed-matched sites located within favourable predicted contexts in 3' untranslated regions. Hundreds of genes were directly repressed, albeit each to a modest degree, by individual microRNAs. Although some targets were repressed without detectable changes in mRNA levels, those translationally repressed by more than a third also displayed detectable mRNA destabilization, and, for the more highly repressed targets, mRNA destabilization usually comprised the major component of repression. The impact of microRNAs on the proteome indicated that for most interactions microRNAs act as rheostats to make fine-scale adjustments to protein output.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2745094/" 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/PMC2745094/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Baek, Daehyun -- Villen, Judit -- Shin, Chanseok -- Camargo, Fernando D -- Gygi, Steven P -- Bartel, David P -- R01 GM067031/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG003456/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG003456-04A1/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2008 Sep 4;455(7209):64-71. doi: 10.1038/nature07242.

    Description: The majority of excitatory synapses in the mammalian CNS (central nervous system) are formed on dendritic spines, and spine morphology and distribution are critical for synaptic transmission, synaptic integration and plasticity. Here, we show that a secreted semaphorin, Sema3F, is a negative regulator of spine development and synaptic structure. Mice with null mutations in genes encoding Sema3F, and its holoreceptor components neuropilin-2 (Npn-2, also known as Nrp2) and plexin A3 (PlexA3, also known as Plxna3), exhibit increased dentate gyrus (DG) granule cell (GC) and cortical layer V pyramidal neuron spine number and size, and also aberrant spine distribution. Moreover, Sema3F promotes loss of spines and excitatory synapses in dissociated neurons in vitro, and in Npn-2(-/-) brain slices cortical layer V and DG GCs exhibit increased mEPSC (miniature excitatory postsynaptic current) frequency. In contrast, a distinct Sema3A-Npn-1/PlexA4 signalling cascade controls basal dendritic arborization in layer V cortical neurons, but does not influence spine morphogenesis or distribution. These disparate effects of secreted semaphorins are reflected in the restricted dendritic localization of Npn-2 to apical dendrites and of Npn-1 (also known as Nrp1) to all dendrites of cortical pyramidal neurons. Therefore, Sema3F signalling controls spine distribution along select dendritic processes, and distinct secreted semaphorin signalling events orchestrate CNS connectivity through the differential control of spine morphogenesis, synapse formation, and the elaboration of dendritic morphology.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2842559/" 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/PMC2842559/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tran, Tracy S -- Rubio, Maria E -- Clem, Roger L -- Johnson, Dontais -- Case, Lauren -- Tessier-Lavigne, Marc -- Huganir, Richard L -- Ginty, David D -- Kolodkin, Alex L -- F32 NS051003/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- P50 MH06883/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 DC-006881/DC/NIDCD NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH059199/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH059199-07/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH059199-08/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH059199-09/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH059199-10/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH59199/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 Dec 24;462(7276):1065-9. doi: 10.1038/nature08628.

    Description: Hippocampal place cells encode spatial information in rate and temporal codes. To examine the mechanisms underlying hippocampal coding, here we measured the intracellular dynamics of place cells by combining in vivo whole-cell recordings with a virtual-reality system. Head-restrained mice, running on a spherical treadmill, interacted with a computer-generated visual environment to perform spatial behaviours. Robust place-cell activity was present during movement along a virtual linear track. From whole-cell recordings, we identified three subthreshold signatures of place fields: an asymmetric ramp-like depolarization of the baseline membrane potential, an increase in the amplitude of intracellular theta oscillations, and a phase precession of the intracellular theta oscillation relative to the extracellularly recorded theta rhythm. These intracellular dynamics underlie the primary features of place-cell rate and temporal codes. The virtual-reality system developed here will enable new experimental approaches to study the neural circuits underlying navigation.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2771429/" 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/PMC2771429/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Harvey, Christopher D -- Collman, Forrest -- Dombeck, Daniel A -- Tank, David W -- 1R01MH083686-01/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- 5R01MH060651-09/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH060651/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH060651-09/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH083686/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH083686-02/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH083686-02S1/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 Oct 15;461(7266):941-6. doi: 10.1038/nature08499.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Princeton Neuroscience Institute, New Jersey 08544, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19829374" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
