New Paper in PNAS: Primate genome architecture influences structural variation mechanisms and functional consequences
Our efforts to resequence and analyze primate genomes with a focus on genomic structural variation has now been published. Here is the link for the paper and here is the link for the curated datasets. The
New Paper in Journal of Virology: Vif proteins from diverse primate lentiviral lineages use a same binding site in APOBEC3G
This paper describing a nice evolutionary story about interaction between HIV and the host immune system, is mostly the effort of our collaborators in Mount Sinai. You can find the abstract below and here is
New paper in PLoS Genetics – Balancing Selection shaping the distribution of a common deletion variant
Finally, our manuscript entitled “Balancing selection on a Regulatory Region Exhibiting Ancient Variation That Predates Human–Neandertal Divergence” was published in PLoS Genetics. You can find it here… It is Open Access. Also, link to the post
Talk at #AAPA2013 – SVs and Primate evolution
I am giving a talk tomorrow at AAPAs that touches on the impact of genomic structural variation on the phenotypic diversity within and between primate species. For more details: Link

Bilim kazanında günün kepçesi oldum
Bilim kazanı için İlker ve Aysu ile uzunca bir muhabbet ettik. Tatlı dillerinden ayrılıp da eve dönmem gece yarısı 1’i buldu. Ama galiba ayırdığımız 5 saate değdi. İnsanı insan yapan nedir diye sorduk – Dinlemek

Genomeweb article on our work
Some of our work has been highlighted in a feature article in GenomeWeb: From the article entitled “Copy Machines”: — CNVs also have potentially significant implications for understanding evolutionary processes, Lee notes, citing a recent paper that

‘Akademik çevre kendi içinde özeleştiri yaparken sesini yükseltmeli’
Işıl Öz‘ün daha önceki Türkiye’deki akademik meselelerle ilgili yazılarına bir devam niteliğindeki parça, T24‘te yayınlandı. Benden de kısa alıntılar var. Bilginize…

Paper in PNAS – Regulatory element copy number differences shape primate expression profiles
I am the co-first author of a recent paper with Rebecca (Iskow), discussing the impact of copy number differences between primate species to expression regulation. I do think that copy number differences of regulatory genes
Paper in Science – Landscape of Somatic Retrotransposition in Human Cancers
We have been busy for some time helping Dr. Peter Park’s group in Harvard School of Public Health to validate and fine-tune calling somatic transposable elements (TEs) in human genome and, more importantly, in genomes of cancer
