    • Ancora: a web resource for exploring highly conserved noncoding elements and their association with developmental regulatory genes 

      Engström, Pär G.; Fredman, David; Lenhard, Boris (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008-02-12)
      Metazoan genomes contain arrays of highly conserved noncoding elements (HCNEs) that span developmental regulatory genes and define regulatory domains. We describe Ancora http:// ancora.genereg.net, a web resource that ...

    • Complex Loci in Human and Mouse Genomes 

      Engström, Pär G.; Suzuki, Harukazu; Ninomiya, Norika; Akalin, Altuna; Sessa, Luca; Lavorgna, Giovanni; Brozzi, Alessandro; Luzi, Lucilla; Lam Tan, Sin; Yang, Liang; Kunarso, Galih; Lian-Chong, Edwin Ng; Batalov, Serge; Wahlestedt, Claes; Kai, Chikatoshi; Kawai, Jun; Carninci, Piero; Hayashizaki, Yoshihide; Wells, Christine; Bajic, Vladimir B.; Orlando, Valerio; Reid, James F.; Lenhard, Boris; Lipovich, Leonard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2006-04-28)
      Mammalian genomes harbor a larger than expected number of complex loci, in which multiple genes are coupled by shared transcribed regions in antisense orientation and/or by bidirectional core promoters. To determine the ...

    • Genomic regulatory blocks encompass multiple neighboring genes and maintain conserved synteny in vertebrates 

      Kikuta, Hiroshi; Laplante, Mary; Navrátilová, Pavla; Komisarczuk, Anna Zofia; Engström, Pär G.; Fredman, David; Akalin, Altuna; Caccamo, Mario; Sealy, Ian; Howe, Kerstin; Ghislain, Julien; Pezeron, Guillaume; Mourrain, Philippe; Ellingsen, Staale; Oates, Andrew C.; Thisse, Christine; Thisse, Bernard; Foucher, Isabelle; Adolf, Birgit; Geling, Andrea; Lenhard, Boris; Becker, Thomas S. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2007-03-06)
      We report evidence for a mechanism for the maintenance of long-range conserved synteny across vertebrate genomes. We found the largest mammal-teleost conserved chromosomal segments to be spanned by highly conserved noncoding ...

    • Genomic regulatory blocks underlie extensive microsynteny conservation in insects 

      Engström, Pär G.; Sui, Shannan J. Ho; Drivenes, Øyvind; Becker, Thomas S.; Lenhard, Boris (Journal article, 2007-11-07)
      Insect genomes contain larger blocks of conserved gene order (microsynteny) than would be expected under a random breakage model of chromosome evolution. We present evidence that microsynteny has been retained to keep large ...

    • In Silico Detection of Sequence Variations Modifying Transcriptional Regulation 

      Andersen, Malin C.; Engström, Pär G.; Lithwick, Stuart; Lithwick, David; Eriksson, Per; Lenhard, Boris; Wasserman, Wyeth W.; Odeberg, Jacob (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008-01-18)
      Identification of functional genetic variation associated with increased susceptibility to complex diseases can elucidate genes and underlying biochemical mechanisms linked to disease onset and progression. For genes linked ...
