[PDF][PDF] Determination and inference of eukaryotic transcription factor sequence specificity

…, A Montenegro-Montero, P Drewe, HS Najafabadi… - Cell, 2014 - cell.com
Transcription factor (TF) DNA sequence preferences direct their regulatory activity, but are
currently known for only ∼1% of eukaryotic TFs. Broadly sampling DNA-binding domain (DBD…

A compendium of RNA-binding motifs for decoding gene regulation

…, H Kazan, KB Cook, MT Weirauch, HS Najafabadi… - 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 …

The human splicing code reveals new insights into the genetic determinants of disease

…, RKC Yuen, Y Hua, S Gueroussov, HS Najafabadi… - Science, 2015 - science.org
INTRODUCTION Advancing whole-genome precision medicine requires understanding
how gene expression is altered by genetic variants, especially those that are far outside of …

C2H2 zinc finger proteins greatly expand the human regulatory lexicon

HS Najafabadi, S Mnaimneh, FW Schmitges… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
Cys2-His2 zinc finger (C2H2-ZF) proteins represent the largest class of putative human
transcription factors. However, for most C2H2-ZF proteins it is unknown whether they even bind …

Spatially mapping the immune landscape of melanoma using imaging mass cytometry

…, M Dankner, EH Xu, NR Bertos, HS Najafabadi… - Science …, 2022 - science.org
Melanoma is an immunogenic cancer with a high response rate to immune checkpoint
inhibitors (ICIs). It harbors a high mutation burden compared with other cancers and, as a result, …

Systematic discovery of structural elements governing stability of mammalian messenger RNAs

H Goodarzi, HS Najafabadi, P Oikonomou, TM Greco… - Nature, 2012 - nature.com
Decoding post-transcriptional regulatory programs in RNA is a critical step towards the
larger goal of developing predictive dynamical models of cellular behaviour. Despite recent …

Multiparameter functional diversity of human C2H2 zinc finger proteins

FW Schmitges, E Radovani, HS Najafabadi… - Genome …, 2016 - genome.cshlp.org
C2H2 zinc finger proteins represent the largest and most enigmatic class of human transcription
factors. Their C2H2-ZF arrays are highly variable, indicating that most will have unique …

Expression of DRD2 is increased in human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and inhibitors slow tumor growth in mice

P Jandaghi, HS Najafabadi, AS Bauer, AI Papadakis… - Gastroenterology, 2016 - Elsevier
Background & Aims Incidence of and mortality from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC),
the most common form of pancreatic cancer, are almost equivalent, so better treatments …

[HTML][HTML] Inference of RNA decay rate from transcriptional profiling highlights the regulatory programs of Alzheimer's disease

R Alkallas, L Fish, H Goodarzi, HS Najafabadi - Nature communications, 2017 - nature.com
The abundance of mRNA is mainly determined by the rates of RNA transcription and decay.
Here, we present a method for unbiased estimation of differential mRNA decay rate from …

A prometastatic splicing program regulated by SNRPA1 interactions with structured RNA elements

…, FK Mardakheh, H Molina, C Alarcón, HS Najafabadi… - Science, 2021 - science.org
INTRODUCTION Alternative splicing is a posttranscriptional regulatory mechanism critical
for transcriptome and proteome diversity. By increasing complexity at the protein level, …
