2. 1. Genome-Wide Studies of Transcriptional Regulation in Mammalian Cells

   Author : Ola Wallerman; Claes Wadelius; Jussi Taipale; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ChIP; ChIP-chip; ChIP-seq; transcription factors; motif discovery; nucleosome positioning; HepG2; genome-wide; RNA-seq; Medical genetics; Medicinsk genetik; Medical Genetics; Medicinsk genetik;

   Abstract : The key to the complexity of higher organisms lies not in the number of protein coding genes they carry, but rather in the intrinsic complexity of the gene regulatory networks. The major effectors of transcriptional regulation are proteins called transcription factors, and in this thesis four papers describing genome-wide studies of seven such factors are presented, together with studies on components of the chromatin and transcriptome.

   Abstract : This thesis focus on various statistical methods for analyzing Genome Wide Association data. The thesis include four papers, three of them considers the analysis of complex traits, and the last one a method for analyzing mendelian traits. READ MORE

5. 3. Genome-Wide Studies of Transcriptional Regulation in Human Liver Cells by High-throughput Sequencing

   Author : Madhusudhan Reddy Bysani; Claes Wadelius; Mattias Mannervik; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ChIP-seq; Transcription factors; Alcoholic steatohepatitis; Genome-wide; GWAS; SNPs;

   Abstract : The human genome contains slightly more than 20 000 genes that are expressed in a tissue specific manner. Transcription factors play a key role in gene regulation. By mapping the transcription factor binding sites genome-wide we can understand their role in different biological processes. READ MORE
