CHFR gene variations: A novel cause for hereditary cancer predisposition?

Open DOI

Ramakanth Chirravuri-Venkata, Aneek Das Bhowmik, Malini Nemalikanti et al.

Pathogenic variations in DNA checkpoint kinases, cell cycle regulation, and DNA-damage repair genes are responsible for hereditary cancer predisposition. In a woman with a history of multiple primary cancers (carcinoma rectum and papilla...

Lyonization of X-chromosome: New insights†

Open DOI

H. A. Ranganath

Ever since Mary Lyon (Nature 190:372–373, 1961) proposed the phenomena of X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) in female mammals, our quest to understand the mechanism underlying it is in progress. Our current knowledge of X-chromosome inacti...

Characterization of an MHC class II β gene reveals high heterogeneity and polymorphism among populations of non-native bullfrogs with complex invasion histories

Open DOI

Luisa N Segovia, Karen M Kiemnec-Tyburczy

We characterized the genetic diversity of exon 2 of one major histocompatibility complex (MHC) Class II b chain gene in five non-native populations of the American bullfrog (Aquarana (Rana) catesbeiana)-a highly invasive amphibian. We di...

Genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screening reveals lipid metabolism and inflammatory signalling as modulators of ganoderic acid DM cytotoxicity

Open DOI

Nimo Abdullah, Jacqueline Lewis, Prakash Arumugam

Ganoderic acid DM (GA-DM), a triterpenoid derived from Ganoderma lucidum, exhibits anti-cancer and anti-diabetic activities, but the underlying mechanisms of action remain unclear. To identify genetic modulators of the GA-DM response, we...
