    Insertion specificity of mobile genetic elements is a rather complex aspect of DNA transposition, which, despite much progress towards its elucidation, still remains incompletely understood. We report here the results of ...
  • Evolution and Hydrodynamics of the Very-Broad X-ray Line Emission in SN1987A 
    Dewey, Dan; Dwarkadas, V. V.; Haberl, F.; Sturm, R.; Canizares, Claude R. (IOP Publishing, 2012-05)
    Observations of SN 1987A by the Chandra High Energy Transmission Grating (HETG) in 1999 and the XMM-Newton Reflection Grating Spectrometer (RGS) in 2003 show very broad (v-b) lines with a full width at half-maximum (FWHM) ...
  • Evolution and Impact of Subclonal Mutations in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia 
    Landau, Dan A.; Carter, Scott L.; Stojanov, Petar; McKenna, Aaron; Stevenson, Kristen; Lawrence, Michael S.; Sougnez, Carrie; Stewart, Chip; Sivachenko, Andrey; Wang, Lili; Wan, Youzhong; Zhang, Wandi; Shukla, Sachet A.; Vartanov, Alexander; Fernandes, Stacey M.; Saksena, Gordon; Cibulskis, Kristian; Tesar, Bethany; Gabriel, Stacey B.; Hacohen, Nir; Meyerson, Matthew L.; Lander, Eric S.; Neuberg, Donna S.; Brown, Jennifer R.; Getz, Gad; Wu, Catherine J. (Elsevier, 2013-02)
    Clonal evolution is a key feature of cancer progression and relapse. We studied intratumoral heterogeneity in 149 chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cases by integrating whole-exome sequence and copy number to measure the ...
  • An Evolutionarily Conserved Enhancer Regulates Bmp4 Expression in Developing Incisor and Limb Bud 
    Jumlongras, Dolrudee; Lachke, Salil A.; O’Connell, Daniel J.; Aboukhalil, Anton; Li, Xiao; Choe, Sung E.; Ho, Joshua W. K.; Turbe-Doan, Annick; Robertson, Erin A.; Olsen, Bjorn R.; Bulyk, Martha L.; Amendt, Brad A.; Maas, Richard L. (Public Library of Science, 2012-06)
    To elucidate the transcriptional regulation of Bmp4 expression during organogenesis, we used phylogenetic footprinting and transgenic reporter analyses to identify Bmp4 cis-regulatory modules (CRMs). These analyses identified ...
