Genome-wide MyoD binding in skeletal muscle cells: a potential for broad cellular reprogramming.
- Yi Cao, Zizhen Yao, +9 authors S. Tapscott
- Biology, Medicine
- Developmental cell
- 20 April 2010
Recent studies have demonstrated that MyoD initiates a feed-forward regulation of skeletal muscle gene expression, predicting that MyoD binds directly to many genes expressed during differentiation.… Expand
Drug resistance via feedback activation of Stat3 in oncogene-addicted cancer cells.
- Ho-June Lee, Guanglei Zhuang, Yi Cao, Pan Du, H. Kim, J. Settleman
- Biology, Medicine
- Cancer cell
- 11 August 2014
Pathway-targeted cancer drugs can produce dramatic responses that are invariably limited by the emergence of drug-resistant cells. We found that many drug-treated "oncogene-addicted" cancer cells… Expand
Anchored multiplex PCR for targeted next-generation sequencing
- Z. Zheng, Matthew Liebers, +11 authors L. Le
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Medicine
- 1 December 2014
We describe a rapid target enrichment method for next-generation sequencing, termed anchored multiplex PCR (AMP), that is compatible with low nucleic acid input from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded… Expand
Differential genomic targeting of the transcription factor TAL1 in alternate haematopoietic lineages
- C. Palii, Carolina Perez-Iratxeta, +9 authors M. Brand
- Biology, Medicine
- The EMBO journal
- 21 December 2010
TAL1/SCL is a master regulator of haematopoiesis whose expression promotes opposite outcomes depending on the cell type: differentiation in the erythroid lineage or oncogenesis in the T‐cell lineage.… Expand
Global and gene‐specific analyses show distinct roles for Myod and Myog at a common set of promoters
- Yi Cao, R. Kumar, +5 authors S. Tapscott
- Biology, Medicine
- The EMBO journal
- 8 February 2006
We used a combination of genome‐wide and promoter‐specific DNA binding and expression analyses to assess the functional roles of Myod and Myog in regulating the program of skeletal muscle gene… Expand
Genetic and epigenetic determinants of neurogenesis and myogenesis.
- Abraham P. Fong, Zizhen Yao, +4 authors S. Tapscott
- Biology, Medicine
- Developmental cell
- 17 April 2012
The regulatory networks of differentiation programs have been partly characterized; however, the molecular mechanisms of lineage-specific gene regulation by highly similar transcription factors… Expand
An Arabidopsis Soil-Salinity–Tolerance Mutation Confers Ethylene-Mediated Enhancement of Sodium/Potassium Homeostasis[W]
- Caifu Jiang, E. Belfield, Yi Cao, J. Smith, N. Harberd
- Biology, Medicine
- Plant Cell
- 1 September 2013
The soil salinity tolerance of an Arabidopsis mutant is shown to be caused by a mutation in the ETO1 gene that results in ethylene overproduction. Increased ethylene causes root stele reactive oxygen… Expand
Tissue-specific splicing of a ubiquitously expressed transcription factor is essential for muscle differentiation.
- Soji Sebastian, Hervé Faralli, +10 authors F. J. Dilworth
- Biology, Medicine
- Genes & development
- 1 June 2013
Alternate splicing contributes extensively to cellular complexity by generating protein isoforms with divergent functions. However, the role of alternate isoforms in development remains poorly… Expand
Pbx homeodomain proteins direct Myod activity to promote fast-muscle differentiation
- L. Maves, A. Waskiewicz, +4 authors S. Tapscott
- Biology, Medicine
- Development
- 15 September 2007
The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor Myod directly regulates gene expression throughout the program of skeletal muscle differentiation. It is not known how a Myod-driven myogenic… Expand
Effect of nitrogen-starvation, light intensity and iron on triacylglyceride/carbohydrate production and fatty acid profile of Neochloris oleoabundans HK-129 by a two-stage process.
Triacylglyceride (TAG) and carbohydrate are potential feedstock for biofuels production. In this study, a two-stage process was applied for enhancing TAG/carbohydrate production in the selected… Expand
