Abstract: Studies indicate that schizophrenia has a genetic component, however it cannot be isolated to a single gene. We aimed to determine how well one could predict that a person will develop schizophrenia based on their… read more here.

Abstract: Intrinsically disordered protein regions are of high importance for biotic and abiotic stress responses in plants. Tracts of identical amino acids accumulate in these regions and can vary in length over generations because of expansions… read more here.

Abstract: Most microRNAs (miRNAs) are expressed as a mix of length isoforms (referred to as isomiRs). IsomiR stoichiometry can be differentially impacted upon cell stimulation, as recently evidenced by our group in the context of immune… read more here.
