1. Genetic linkage and association studies in celiac disease: discoveries from whole genome analysis
Abstract : Celiac Disease (CD) or Gluten Sensitive Enteropathy (GSE) is a life-long disorder. It is characterized by inflammation in the small intestine of genetically predisposed individuals caused by inappropriate immune response to gluten, a protein enriched in some of our common grains (wheat, rye and barley).

2. Global functional association network inference and crosstalk analysis for pathway annotation
Abstract : Cell functions are steered by complex interactions of gene products, like forming a temporary or stable complex, altering gene expression or catalyzing a reaction. Mapping these interactions is the key in understanding biological processes and therefore is the focus of numerous experiments and studies. READ MORE

3. Population level genome-wide association studies in dairy cattle
Abstract : In recent years, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) has become a dominant tool for detecting genetic architectures for complex traits. Thousands of associated genetic variants have been reported. However, the resolution of these studies was limited by the available marker density for the quantitative trait loci (QTL) region.

4. Linkage and association analysis in multiple sclerosis
Abstract : Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system, which is characterized by relapsing or progressive demyelinating plaques in the brain and spinal cord. It is well established that complex genetic factors influence susceptibility to MS. READ MORE

5. Modulaton of gene expression in human aortic smooth muscle cells by Porphyromonas gingivalis : a possible association between periodontitis and atherosclerosis
Abstract : Porphyromonas gingivalis is a gram-negative, rod-shaped, and anaerobic bacterium that is involved in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. P. gingivalis produces a variety of virulence factors including gingipains and fimbriae. READ MORE
