[PDF][PDF] Comprehensive genomic characterization of long non-coding RNAs across human cancers
The discovery of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) has dramatically altered our understanding
of cancer. Here, we describe a comprehensive analysis of lncRNA alterations at …

[PDF][PDF] A functional genomic approach identifies FAL1 as an oncogenic long noncoding RNA that associates with BMI1 and represses p21 expression in cancer
In a genome-wide survey on somatic copy-number alterations (SCNAs) of long noncoding
RNA (lncRNA) in 2,394 tumor specimens from 12 cancer types, we found that about 21.8% of …

Meta-analysis of shared genetic architecture across ten pediatric autoimmune diseases
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified hundreds of susceptibility genes,
including shared associations across clinically distinct autoimmune diseases. We …

[PDF][PDF] Integrated analysis of genetic ancestry and genomic alterations across cancers
Disparities in cancer care have been a long-standing challenge. We estimated the genetic
ancestry of The Cancer Genome Atlas patients, and performed a pan-cancer analysis on the …

[HTML][HTML] Genetic sharing and heritability of paediatric age of onset autoimmune diseases
Autoimmune diseases (AIDs) are polygenic diseases affecting 7–10% of the population in
the Western Hemisphere with few effective therapies. Here, we quantify the heritability of …

High-dimensional classification via nonparametric empirical Bayes and maximum likelihood inference
We propose new nonparametric empirical Bayes methods for high-dimensional classification.
Our classifiers are designed to approximate the Bayes classifier in a hypothesized …

Cross‐species systems analysis of evolutionary toolkits of neurogenomic response to social challenge
Social challenges like territorial intrusions evoke behavioral responses in widely diverging
species. Recent work has showed that evolutionary “toolkits”—genes and modules with …
