There is a gap in our understanding of mechanisms promoting hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and this limits ability to provide targeted therapy interventions for HCC. In HCC samples, NAD-dependent deacetylase sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) levels are increased associated with significantly worse prognosis, but the role SIRT2 hepatocarcinogenesis remains controversial. To assess hepatocarcinogenesis, we used hepatocyte-specific knockout two plasmid overexpression models: MET/CAT AKT/Nras. RNA-sequencing...

Genetic interactions or epistasis may play an important role in the genetic etiology of drug response. With availability large-scale, high-density single nucleotide polymorphism markers, a great challenge is how to associate haplotype structures and complex response through its underlying pharmacodynamic mechanisms.We have derived general statistical model for detecting interactive network DNA sequence variants that encode processes based on map constructed by polymorphisms. The was...

To better utilize limited resources for their survival and reproduction, all organisms undergo developmental changes in both body size shape during ontogeny. The genetic analysis of change with increasing age, i.e., growth, has received considerable attention quantitative studies, but the architecture ontogenetic its associated allometry have been poorly understood partly due to lack analytical tools. In this article, we attempt construct a multivariate statistical framework studying...

The high growth (hg) mutation increases body size in mice by 30-50%. Given the complexity of genetic regulation animal growth, it is likely that effect this major locus mediated other quantitative trait loci (QTL) with smaller effects within a web gene interactions. In article, we extend our functional mapping model to characterize modifier QTL interact hg during ontogenetic growth.

Genomic imprinting is a phenomenon in which the same allele expressed differently, depending on its parental origin. Such phenomenon, also called parent-of-origin effect, has been recognized to play pivotal role embryological development and pathogenesis many species. Here we propose statistical design for detecting imprinted loci that control quantitative traits based random set of three-generation families from natural population humans. This provides pathway characterizing effects genes...
