Genome-wide association study reveals dynamic role of genetic variation in infant and early childhood growth
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-10-01)Infant and childhood growth are dynamic processes with large changes in BMI during development. By performing genome-wide association studies of BMI at 12 time points from birth to eight years (9286 children, 74,105 ... -
GPCR-specific autoantibody signatures are associated with physiological and pathological immune homeostasis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-12-06)Autoantibodies have been associated with autoimmune diseases. However, studies have identified autoantibodies in healthy donors (HD) who do not develop autoimmune disorders. Here we provide evidence of a network of ... -
GWAS for autoimmune Addison's disease identifies multiple risk loci and highlights AIRE in disease susceptibility
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Autoimmune Addison’s disease (AAD) is characterized by the autoimmune destruction of the adrenal cortex. Low prevalence and complex inheritance have long hindered successful genetic studies. We here report the first ... -
Histone demethylase Lsd1 is required for the differentiation of neural cells in Nematostella vectensis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Chromatin regulation is a key process in development but its contribution to the evolution of animals is largely unexplored. Chromatin is regulated by a diverse set of proteins, which themselves are tightly regulated in a ... -
The Iceland-Faroe Slope Jet: a conduit for dense water toward the Faroe Bank Channel overflow
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Dense water from the Nordic Seas passes through the Faroe Bank Channel and supplies the lower limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, a critical component of the climate system. Yet, the upstream pathways ... -
Identification of nine new susceptibility loci for endometrial cancer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-08-09)Endometrial cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer of the female reproductive tract in developed countries. Through genome-wide association studies (GWAS), we have previously identified eight risk loci for endometrial ... -
Identification of susceptibility pathways for the roleof chromosome 15q25.1 in modifying lung cancerrisk
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-08-13)Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified the chromosome 15q25.1 locus as a leading susceptibility region for lung cancer. However, the pathogenic pathways, through which susceptibility SNPs within chromosome 15q25.1 ... -
An independent poor-prognosis subtype of breast cancer defined by a distinct tumor immune microenvironment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)How mixtures of immune cells associate with cancer cell phenotype and affect pathogenesis is still unclear. In 15 breast cancer gene expression datasets, we invariably identify three clusters of patients with gradual levels ... -
Irminger Sea deep convection injects oxygen and anthropogenic carbon to the ocean interior
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-10-27)Deep convection in the subpolar North Atlantic ventilates the ocean for atmospheric gases through the formation of deep water masses. Variability in the intensity of deep convection is believed to have caused large variations ... -
Irrigated areas drive irrigation water withdrawals
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)A sustainable management of global freshwater resources requires reliable estimates of the water demanded by irrigated agriculture. This has been attempted by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) through country ... -
Large mesopelagic fishes biomass and trophic efficiency in the open ocean
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-02-07)With a current estimate of ~1,000 million tons, mesopelagic fishes likely dominate the world total fishes biomass. However, recent acoustic observations show that mesopelagic fishes biomass could be significantly larger ... -
Life histories determine divergent population trends for fishes under climate warming
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-14)Most marine fish species express life-history changes across temperature gradients, such as faster growth, earlier maturation, and higher mortality at higher temperature. However, such climate-driven effects on life histories ... -
Melt volume at Atlantic volcanic rifted margins controlled by depth-dependent extension and mantle temperature
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Breakup volcanism along rifted passive margins is highly variable in time and space. The factors controlling magmatic activity during continental rifting and breakup are not resolved and controversial. Here we use numerical ... -
Meltwater sediment transport as the dominating process in mid-latitude trough mouth fan formation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Trough mouth fans comprise the largest sediment deposits along glaciated margins, and record Pleistocene climate changes on a multi-decadal time scale. Here we present a model for the formation of the North Sea Fan derived ... -
Mesmerize is a dynamically adaptable user-friendly analysis platform for 2D and 3D calcium imaging data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Calcium imaging is an increasingly valuable technique for understanding neural circuits, neuroethology, and cellular mechanisms. The analysis of calcium imaging data presents challenges in image processing, data organization, ... -
Meta-analysis of epigenome-wide association studies in neonates reveals widespread differential DNA methylation associated with birthweight
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-04-23)Birthweight is associated with health outcomes across the life course, DNA methylation may be an underlying mechanism. In this meta-analysis of epigenome-wide association studies of 8,825 neonates from 24 birth cohorts in ... -
Modeling assortative mating and genetic similarities between partners, siblings, and in-laws
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Assortative mating on heritable traits can have implications for the genetic resemblance between siblings and in-laws in succeeding generations. We studied polygenic scores and phenotypic data from pairs of partners ... -
A moiré deflectometer for antimatter
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-07-28)The precise measurement of forces is one way to obtain deep insight into the fundamental interactions present in nature. In the context of neutral antimatter, the gravitational interaction is of high interest, potentially ... -
Molecular basis for N-terminal acetylation by human NatE and its modulation by HYPK
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-02)The human N-terminal acetyltransferase E (NatE) contains NAA10 and NAA50 catalytic, and NAA15 auxiliary subunits and associates with HYPK, a protein with intrinsic NAA10 inhibitory activity. NatE co-translationally acetylates ... -
