[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 …

[HTML][HTML] Single-cell RNA-seq reveals that glioblastoma recapitulates a normal neurodevelopmental hierarchy

…, V Wee Yong, MC Guiot, H Najafabadi… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Cancer stem cells are critical for cancer initiation, development, and treatment resistance.
Our understanding of these processes, and how they relate to glioblastoma heterogeneity, is …

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, …

A review on bio-fuel production from microalgal biomass by using pyrolysis method

K Azizi, MK Moraveji, HA Najafabadi - Renewable and Sustainable Energy …, 2018 - Elsevier
Due to the depletion of fossil fuels and their environmental issues, it is necessary to find
energy resources which are renewable. Algal biomass becomes promising feedstock for bio-fuel …

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 …
