GoM DE: interpreting structure in sequence count data with differential expression analysis allowing for grades of membership | Genome Biology

Models for single-cell ATAC-seq data In single-cell ATAC-seq data, \(x_{ij}\) is the number of unique reads mapping to peak or region j in cell i. Although \(x_{ij}\) can take non-negative integer values, it is common to “binarize” the accessibility data (e.g., [19, 74, 133,134,135]), meaning that \(x_{ij} = 1\) when…

An eQTL-based Approach Reveals Candidate L1 Transcriptional Regulators in Lymphoblastoid Cells

Abstract Long interspersed element 1 (L1) are a family of autonomous, actively mobile transposons that occupy ~17% of the human genome. The pleiotropic effects L1 induces in host cells (promoting genome instability, inflammation, or cellular senescence) are established, and L1’s associations with aging and aging diseases are widely recognized. However,…

KRTA6A and FA2H Are Hub Genes Associated With Cgas-STING-related Immunogenic Cell Death in Lung Adenocarcinoma

Abstract Background/Aim: The immunogenic cell death (ICD) pathway plays a crucial prognostic role in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) therapy. The cyclic GMP–AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway is an upstream mechanism that drives ICD activation, but the interaction of hub genes remains unclear. The present study aimed to investigate…
