Alber Aqil led this one, out in the American Journal of Human Genetics. The short version: when sequencing reads coming from polymorphic duplications are mismapped, they can produce trans-eQTL signals that look convincing but are […]

X’s lab led this study on extensive long-read sequencing of multiple bird genomes and follow-up comparative/functional analysis to find interesting overlap between structural variation hotspots and piRNA hotspots. The evolutionary implications of this overlap has

Petar Pajic led this project that we designed with Stefan Ruhl Laboratory on how mucin proteins have evolved. The roles of mucins in different biological processes are becoming more appreciated recently in both evolutionary and
