    Fast and accurate inference of local ancestry in Latino populations (2012)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-05-10
    Description: Motivation: It is becoming increasingly evident that the analysis of genotype data from recently admixed populations is providing important insights into medical genetics and population history. Such analyses have been used to identify novel disease loci, to understand recombination rate variation and to detect recent selection events. The utility of such studies crucially depends on accurate and unbiased estimation of the ancestry at every genomic locus in recently admixed populations. Although various methods have been proposed and shown to be extremely accurate in two-way admixtures (e.g. African Americans), only a few approaches have been proposed and thoroughly benchmarked on multi-way admixtures (e.g. Latino populations of the Americas). Results: To address these challenges we introduce here methods for local ancestry inference which leverage the structure of linkage disequilibrium in the ancestral population (LAMP-LD), and incorporate the constraint of Mendelian segregation when inferring local ancestry in nuclear family trios (LAMP-HAP). Our algorithms uniquely combine hidden Markov models (HMMs) of haplotype diversity within a novel window-based framework to achieve superior accuracy as compared with published methods. Further, unlike previous methods, the structure of our HMM does not depend on the number of reference haplotypes but on a fixed constant, and it is thereby capable of utilizing large datasets while remaining highly efficient and robust to over-fitting. Through simulations and analysis of real data from 489 nuclear trio families from the mainland US, Puerto Rico and Mexico, we demonstrate that our methods achieve superior accuracy compared with published methods for local ancestry inference in Latinos.

    Melanesian blond hair is caused by an amino acid change in TYRP1 (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-05-05
    Description: Naturally blond hair is rare in humans and found almost exclusively in Europe and Oceania. Here, we identify an arginine-to-cysteine change at a highly conserved residue in tyrosinase-related protein 1 (TYRP1) as a major determinant of blond hair in Solomon Islanders. This missense mutation is predicted to affect catalytic activity of TYRP1 and causes blond hair through a recessive mode of inheritance. The mutation is at a frequency of 26% in the Solomon Islands, is absent outside of Oceania, represents a strong common genetic effect on a complex human phenotype, and highlights the importance of examining genetic associations worldwide.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3481182/" 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/PMC3481182/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kenny, Eimear E -- Timpson, Nicholas J -- Sikora, Martin -- Yee, Muh-Ching -- Moreno-Estrada, Andres -- Eng, Celeste -- Huntsman, Scott -- Burchard, Esteban Gonzalez -- Stoneking, Mark -- Bustamante, Carlos D -- Myles, Sean -- G0600705/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- R01 ES015794/ES/NIEHS NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL078885/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL088133/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- RD1634/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- U19 AI077439/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 May 4;336(6081):554. doi: 10.1126/science.1217849.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Genetics, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22556244" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Human genetics. The genetics of Mexico recapitulates Native American substructure and affects biomedical traits (2014)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-06-14
    Description: Mexico harbors great cultural and ethnic diversity, yet fine-scale patterns of human genome-wide variation from this region remain largely uncharacterized. We studied genomic variation within Mexico from over 1000 individuals representing 20 indigenous and 11 mestizo populations. We found striking genetic stratification among indigenous populations within Mexico at varying degrees of geographic isolation. Some groups were as differentiated as Europeans are from East Asians. Pre-Columbian genetic substructure is recapitulated in the indigenous ancestry of admixed mestizo individuals across the country. Furthermore, two independently phenotyped cohorts of Mexicans and Mexican Americans showed a significant association between subcontinental ancestry and lung function. Thus, accounting for fine-scale ancestry patterns is critical for medical and population genetic studies within Mexico, in Mexican-descent populations, and likely in many other populations worldwide.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4156478/" 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/PMC4156478/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Moreno-Estrada, Andres -- Gignoux, Christopher R -- Fernandez-Lopez, Juan Carlos -- Zakharia, Fouad -- Sikora, Martin -- Contreras, Alejandra V -- Acuna-Alonzo, Victor -- Sandoval, Karla -- Eng, Celeste -- Romero-Hidalgo, Sandra -- Ortiz-Tello, Patricia -- Robles, Victoria -- Kenny, Eimear E -- Nuno-Arana, Ismael -- Barquera-Lozano, Rodrigo -- Macin-Perez, Gaston -- Granados-Arriola, Julio -- Huntsman, Scott -- Galanter, Joshua M -- Via, Marc -- Ford, Jean G -- Chapela, Rocio -- Rodriguez-Cintron, William -- Rodriguez-Santana, Jose R -- Romieu, Isabelle -- Sienra-Monge, Juan Jose -- del Rio Navarro, Blanca -- London, Stephanie J -- Ruiz-Linares, Andres -- Garcia-Herrera, Rodrigo -- Estrada, Karol -- Hidalgo-Miranda, Alfredo -- Jimenez-Sanchez, Gerardo -- Carnevale, Alessandra -- Soberon, Xavier -- Canizales-Quinteros, Samuel -- Rangel-Villalobos, Hector -- Silva-Zolezzi, Irma -- Burchard, Esteban Gonzalez -- Bustamante, Carlos D -- BB/I021213/1/Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- ES015794/ES/NIEHS NIH HHS/ -- GM007546/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM061390/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- HL004464/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL078885/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL088133/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL111636/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- K23 HL004464/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- K23 HL111636/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- M01 RR000083/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- P60 MD006902/MD/NIMHD NIH HHS/ -- P60MD006902/MD/NIMHD NIH HHS/ -- R01 ES015794/ES/NIEHS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM083606/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM090087/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG003229/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL078885/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL088133/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01GM090087/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01HG003229/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R13 MD008154/MD/NIMHD NIH HHS/ -- RR000083/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- T32 GM007175/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- T32 GM007546/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- T32 HG000044/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- T32GM007175/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- T32HG000044/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U01 GM061390/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- ZIA ES049019-14/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- ZIA ES049019-15/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- ZIA ES49019/ES/NIEHS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2014 Jun 13;344(6189):1280-5. doi: 10.1126/science.1251688.

    The TAM family receptor tyrosine kinase TYRO3 is a negative regulator of type 2 immunity (2016)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-04-02
    Description: Host responses against metazoan parasites or an array of environmental substances elicit type 2 immunity. Despite its protective function, type 2 immunity also drives allergic diseases. The mechanisms that regulate the magnitude of the type 2 response remain largely unknown. Here, we show that genetic ablation of a receptor tyrosine kinase encoded byTyro3in mice or the functional neutralization of its ortholog in human dendritic cells resulted in enhanced type 2 immunity. Furthermore, the TYRO3 agonist PROS1 was induced in T cells by the quintessential type 2 cytokine, interleukin-4. T cell-specificPros1knockouts phenocopied the loss ofTyro3 Thus, a PROS1-mediated feedback from adaptive immunity engages a rheostat, TYRO3, on innate immune cells to limit the intensity of type 2 responses.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chan, Pamela Y -- Carrera Silva, Eugenio A -- De Kouchkovsky, Dimitri -- Joannas, Leonel D -- Hao, Liming -- Hu, Donglei -- Huntsman, Scott -- Eng, Celeste -- Licona-Limon, Paula -- Weinstein, Jason S -- Herbert, De'Broski R -- Craft, Joseph E -- Flavell, Richard A -- Repetto, Silvia -- Correale, Jorge -- Burchard, Esteban G -- Torgerson, Dara G -- Ghosh, Sourav -- Rothlin, Carla V -- HL004464/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL078885/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL088133/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL104608/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL117004/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- MD006902/MD/NIMHD NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI089824/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- T32 AI007019/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- T32 GM007205/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2016 Apr 1;352(6281):99-103. doi: 10.1126/science.aaf1358.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Immunobiology, School of Medicine, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06520, USA. ; Department of Immunobiology, School of Medicine, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06520, USA.

    The effect of current density, stripe length, stripe width, and temperature on resistance saturation during electromigration testing (2002)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Journal of Applied Physics 91 (2002), S. 5787-5795

    Notes: Resistance saturation as a function of current density, stripe length, stripe width, and temperature is investigated for a two-level structure with Ti/AlCu/Ti/TiN stripes and interlevel W stud vias. A simple model based on first principles is presented, which relates the maximum fractional resistance change to the current density and stripe length. Experimental results for stripe lengths of 30, 50, 70, and 100 μm are in good agreement with the model predictions. Estimated void sizes based on the resistance saturation data are consistent with the actual void sizes determined from scanning electron microscopy analysis. A weak temperature dependence is found for 0.33 μm-wide samples in the range 170–250°C, while a strong width dependence is observed between 0.33 and 1.50 μm- wide samples. The width dependence is qualitatively explained in terms of a relaxed bulk modulus that depends on the aspect ratio of the interconnect lines. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.
