A practical guide to cancer subclonal reconstruction from DNA sequencing

…, J Wintersinger, DC Wedge, P Van Loo, QD Morris… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Subclonal reconstruction from bulk tumor DNA sequencing has become a pillar of cancer
evolution studies, providing insight into the clonality and relative ordering of mutations and …

The genetic landscape of a cell

…, H Bussey, GD Bader, AC Gingras, QD Morris… - science, 2010 - science.org
A genome-scale genetic interaction map was constructed by examining 5.4 million gene-gene
pairs for synthetic genetic interactions, generating quantitative genetic interaction profiles …

Finding the target sites of RNA‐binding proteins

…, H Kazan, HD Lipshitz, QD Morris - Wiley Interdisciplinary …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
RNA –protein interactions differ from DNA –protein interactions because of the central role
of RNA secondary structure. Some RNA ‐binding domains ( RBDs ) recognize their target …

A compendium of RNA-binding motifs for decoding gene regulation

…, EP Lei, AG Fraser, BJ Blencowe, QD Morris… - Nature, 2013 - nature.com
RNA-binding proteins are key regulators of gene expression, yet only a small fraction have
been functionally characterized. Here we report a systematic analysis of the RNA motifs …

Bayesian inference of MicroRNA targets from sequence and expression data

JC Huang, QD Morris, BJ Frey - Journal of Computational Biology, 2007 - liebertpub.com
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate a large proportion of mammalian genes by hybridizing to
targeted messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and down-regulating their translation into protein. Although …

[HTML][HTML] The evolutionary history of 2,658 cancers

…, V Mustonen, K Yuan, W Wang, QD Morris… - Nature, 2020 - nature.com
Cancer develops through a process of somatic evolution 1 , 2 . Sequencing data from a single
biopsy represent a snapshot of this process that can reveal the timing of specific genomic …

[HTML][HTML] Variation in homeodomain DNA binding revealed by high-resolution analysis of sequence preferences

…, W Zhang, D Newburger, SA Jaeger, QD Morris… - Cell, 2008 - cell.com
Most homeodomains are unique within a genome, yet many are highly conserved across vast
evolutionary distances, implying strong selection on their precise DNA-binding specificities…

Using expression profiling data to identify human microRNA targets

…, TR Hughes, BJ Blencowe, BJ Frey, QD Morris - Nature …, 2007 - nature.com
We demonstrate that paired expression profiles of microRNAs (miRNAs) and mRNAs can
be used to identify functional miRNA-target relationships with high precision. We used a …

Evaluation of methods for modeling transcription factor sequence specificity

…, S Talukder, HJ Bussemaker, QD Morris… - Nature …, 2013 - nature.com
Genomic analyses often involve scanning for potential transcription factor (TF) binding sites
using models of the sequence specificity of DNA binding proteins. Many approaches have …

[HTML][HTML] Conservation of core gene expression in vertebrate tissues

…, J Aubin, MJH Ratcliffe, A Wilde, M Brudno, QD Morris… - Journal of biology, 2009 - Springer
Background Vertebrates share the same general body plan and organs, possess related
sets of genes, and rely on similar physiological mechanisms, yet show great diversity in …
