The NHLBI "Grand Opportunity" Exome Sequencing Project (GO-ESP), a signature project of the NHLBI Recovery Act investment, was designed to identify genetic variants in coding regions (exons) of the human genome (the "exome") that are associated with heart, lung and blood diseases. These and relat...

Recent studies of the human transcriptome suggest that many transcripts have short or lack 3' poly(A) ends. In addition, the length of 3' poly(A) ends may vary for some transcript to regulate mRNA translation. Heterogeneous lengths of poly(A) ends may introduce variations in measuring RNA transcript...

We previously identified Tbc1d23 as a candidate novel regulator of innate immunity using comparative genomics RNAi screens in C. elegans and mouse macrophages. Using mice with an engineered knockout mutation in Tbc1d23 and macrophages engineered to overexpress Tbc1d23, we now show that Tbc1d23 is a ...

Exposure to particulate matter (PM) is consistently associated with increased morbidity and mortality attributable in part to respiratory illnesses. The alveolar macrophage (AM) is one of the cell types in the lung constantly exposed to and activated by ambient pollutants. Upon contact with environm...

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease that is unresponsive to current therapy. While it carries a median survival of less than 3 years its rate of progression varies widely between patients. We hypothesized that studying the gene express...

In this study we adapted and tested the applicability of Methylation Specific Digital Karyotyping (MSDK), a non-array based method, for the prospective analysis of epigenetic changes after perinatal nutritional modifications in a mouse model of allergic airway disease. As part of the same study we a...
