Workshop Presentations (W14-1) Tools for Next Generation Sequencing Data Analysis K. Bodi Tufts University School of Medicine, Tufts University Core Facility, Boston, MA, United States As NGS technology continues to improve, the amount of data generated per run grows exponentially. ...

Computational prediction of microRNA targets remains a challenging problem. The existing rule-based, data-driven and expression profiling approaches to target prediction are mostly approached from the gene-level. The advent of next-generation sequencing technologies provides new opportunities to profile transcriptomes and microRNA ...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators of gene expression and contribute to a variety of biological processes including cell growth, differentiation, and development. Abnormal microRNA expression has been reported in various diseases including various cancers, cardiovascular disease, and neurological disorders. Therefore ...

To identify potential tumor suppressor genes, genome-wide data from exome and transcriptome sequencing were combined to search for genes with loss of heterozygosity and allele-specific expression. The analysis was conducted on the breast cancer cell line HCC1954, and a lymphoblast ...

Recent studies strongly indicate that aberrations in the control of gene expression might contribute to the initiation and progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In particular, alternative splicing has been suggested to play a role in spontaneous cases of AD. This ...
