Oligogenic inheritance of a human heart disease involving a genetic modifier

CA Gifford, SS Ranade, R Samarakoon, HT Salunga… - Science, 2019 - science.org
Complex genetic mechanisms are thought to underlie many human diseases, yet experimental
proof of this model has been elusive. Here, we show that a human cardiac anomaly can …

[PDF][PDF] Individual variability of neural computations in the primate retina

NP Shah, N Brackbill, R Samarakoon, C Rhoades… - Neuron, 2022 - cell.com
Variation in the neural code contributes to making each individual unique. We probed neural
code variation using ∼100 population recordings from major ganglion cell types in the …

Metabolic dysfunction and protein aggregation are common characteristics that occur in age‐related
neurodegenerative disease. However, the mechanisms underlying these …

A Formal [4 + 4] Complementary Ambiphile Pairing Reaction: A New Cyclization Pathway for ortho-Quinone Methides

TB Samarakoon, MY Hur, RD Kurtz, PR Hanson - Organic letters, 2010 - ACS Publications
A formal, one-pot [4 + 4] cyclization pathway for the generation of eight-membered sultams
via in situ generation of an ortho -quinone methide ( o -QM) is reported. The pairing of …

Divergence time calibrations for ancient lineages of Ascomycota classification based on a modern review of estimations

MC Samarakoon, KD Hyde, S Hongsanan… - Fungal Diversity, 2019 - Springer
Inaccurate taxonomic placement of fossils can lead to the accumulation of errors in molecular
clock studies and their generated evolutionary lineages. There are limited fossil data that …
