The polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) is the major methyltransferase for H3K27 methylation, a modification critical for maintaining repressed gene expression programs throughout development. It… (More)

Tudor domains are protein modules that mediate protein-protein interactions, potentially by binding to methylated ligands. A group of germline specific single and multiTudor domain containing… (More)
Olfaction in Drosophila is mediated by a large family of membrane-bound odorant receptor proteins (Ors). In heterologous cells, we investigated whether the structural features and signalling… (More)
beta-O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is an abundant and dynamic post-translational modification implicated in protein regulation that appears to be functionally more similar to… (More)
Compared to the amount of research that has been done on English event extraction, there exists relatively little work on Chinese event extraction. We seek to push the frontiers of supervised Chinese… (More)

Arginine methylation modulates diverse cellular processes and represents a molecular signature of germ-line-specific Piwi family proteins. A subset of Tudor domains recognize arginine methylation… (More)
We extend Zhao and Ng's (2007) Chinese anaphoric zero pronoun resolver by (1) using a richer set of features and (2) exploiting the coreference links between zero pronouns during resolution. Results… (More)
While unsupervised anaphoric zero pronoun (AZP) resolvers have recently been shown to rival their supervised counterparts in performance, it is relatively difficult to scale them up to reach the next… (More)
Proteins can be modified by post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation, methylation, acetylation and ubiquitylation, creating binding sites for specific protein domains. Methylation has… (More)
Fibroblast growth factor 14 (FGF14) belongs to a distinct subclass of FGFs that is expressed in the developing and adult CNS. We disrupted the Fgf14 gene and introduced an Fgf14(N-beta-Gal) allele… (More)
