Journal ArticleDOI

The Collaborative Cross, a community resource for the genetic analysis of complex traits

Gary A. Churchill, +113 more
- 01 Nov 2004 - 
TL;DR: The Collaborative Cross will provide a common reference panel specifically designed for the integrative analysis of complex systems and will change the way the authors approach human health and disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitonuclear protein imbalance as a conserved longevity mechanism

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that MRPs represent an evolutionarily conserved protein family that ties the mitochondrial ribosome and mitonuclear protein imbalance to the mitochondrial unfolded protein response, an overarching longevity pathway across many species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Computational identification of Drosophila microRNA genes

TL;DR: A computational strategy succeeded in identifying bona fide miRNA genes and suggests that miRNAs constitute nearly 1% of predicted protein-coding genes in Drosophila, a percentage similar to the percentage of miRN as recently attributed to other metazoan genomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Common genetic variants influence human subcortical brain structures.

Derrek P. Hibar, +344 more
- 09 Apr 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conduct genome-wide association studies of the volumes of seven subcortical regions and the intracranial volume derived from magnetic resonance images of 30,717 individuals from 50 cohorts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complex trait analysis of gene expression uncovers polygenic and pleiotropic networks that modulate nervous system function

TL;DR: A general approach to dissect genetic networks systematically across biological scale, from base pairs to behavior, using a reference population of recombinant inbred strains, found that a small number of major-effect quantitative trait loci jointly modulated large sets of transcripts and classical neural phenotypes in patterns specific to each tissue.
