Article Abstract

Germline Variants (GVs) are effective in predicting cancer risk and may be relevant in predicting patient outcomes. Here we provide a bioinformatic pipeline to identify GVs from the TCGA lower grade glioma cohort in Genomics Data Commons. We integrate paired whole exome sequences from normal and tumor samples and RNA sequences from tumor samples to determine a patient's GV status. We then identify the subset of GVs that are predictive of patient outcomes by Cox regression. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Chatrath et al. (2019) and Chatrath et al. (2020).

Many organisms have adapted to survive anoxic or hypoxic environments, but the epigenetic responses involved in this successful stress response are not well described in most species. Embryos of the annual killifish have the greatest tolerance to anoxia of all vertebrates, making them a powerful model to study the cellular mechanisms necessary for anoxia tolerance. However, the global histone landscape of this species has never been quantified or explored in relation to stress tolerance.

, a causative agent of lymphatic filariasis, relies on its endosymbiont for survival. MurE ligase, a key enzyme in peptidoglycan biosynthesis, serves as a promising drug target for anti-filarial therapy. In this study, we employed a hierarchical virtual screening pipeline to identify phytochemical inhibitors targeting the MurE enzyme of the endosymbiont of (MurE).

Breast cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease with diverse outcomes, and intra-tumoral heterogeneity plays a significant role in both diagnosis and treatment. Despite its importance, the spatial distribution of intra-tumoral heterogeneity is not fully elucidated. Spatial transcriptomics has emerged as a promising tool to study the molecular mechanisms behind many diseases.

Toward universal immunofluorescence normalization for multiplex tissue imaging with UniFORM.

Cell Rep Methods

August 2025

Department of Biomedical Engineering and Computational Biology Program, OHSU, Portland, OR, USA; Knight Cancer Institute, OHSU, Portland, OR, USA. Electronic address:

We present UniFORM, a non-parametric, Python-based pipeline for normalizing multiplex tissue imaging (MTI) data at both the feature and pixel levels. UniFORM employs an automated rigid landmark registration method tailored to the distributional characteristics of MTI, with UniFORM operating without prior distributional assumptions and handling both unimodal and bimodal patterns. By aligning the biologically invariant negative populations, UniFORM removes technical variation while preserving tissue-specific expression patterns in positive populations.

ANASFV: a workflow for African swine fever virus whole-genome analysis.

Microb Genom

September 2025

Department of Infectious Diseases and Public Health, Jockey Club College of Veterinary Medicine and Life Sciences, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, PR China.

African swine fever virus (ASFV) is highly transmissible and can cause up to 100% mortality in pigs. The virus has spread across most regions of Asia and Europe, resulting in the deaths of millions of pigs. A deep understanding of the genetic diversity and evolutionary dynamics of ASFV is necessary to effectively manage outbreaks.
