      Poduval, Deepak; Berge, Elisabet Ognedal; Sichmanovà, Zuzana; Valen, Eivind; Iversen, Gjertrud Titlestad; Minsaas, Laura; Lønning, Per Eystein; Knappskog, Stian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-08)
      Background The number of tumor suppressor genes for which germline mutations have been linked to cancer risk is steadily increasing. However, while recent reports have linked constitutional normal tissue promoter methylation ...
    • Characterisation of HNF1A variants in paediatric diabetes in Norway using functional and clinical investigations to unmask phenotype and monogenic diabetes 

      Svalastoga, Pernille; Kaci, Alba; Molnes, Janne; Solheim, Marie Holm; Johansson, Bente Berg; Krogvold, Lars; Skrivarhaug, Torild; Valen, Eivind; Johansson, Stefan; Molven, Anders; Sagen, Jørn Vegard; Søfteland, Eirik; Bjørkhaug, Lise; Tjora, Erling; Aukrust, Ingvild; Njølstad, Pål Rasmus (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Aims/hypothesis Correctly diagnosing MODY is important, as individuals with this diagnosis can discontinue insulin injections; however, many people are misdiagnosed. We aimed to develop a robust approach for determining ...
    • CHOPCHOP v2: a web tool for the next generation of CRISPR genome engineering 

      Valen, Eivind; Labun, Kornel; Montague, Tessa G.; Gagnon, James A.; Thyme, Summer B. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      In just 3 years CRISPR genome editing has transformed biology, and its popularity and potency continue to grow. New CRISPR effectors and rules for locating optimum targets continue to be reported, highlighting the need for ...
    • Chromatin accessibility established by Pou5f3, Sox19b and Nanog primes genes for activity during zebrafish genome activation 

      Pálfy, Máté; Schulze, Gunnar; Valen, Eivind; Vastenhouw, Nadine L. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-01)
      In many organisms, early embryonic development is driven by maternally provided factors until the controlled onset of transcription during zygotic genome activation. The regulation of chromatin accessibility and its ...
    • Nano3P-seq: transcriptome-wide analysis of gene expression and tail dynamics using end-capture nanopore cDNA sequencing 

      Begik, Oguzhan; Diensthuber, Gregor; Liu, Huanle; Delgado-Tejedor, Anna; Kontur, Cassandra; Niazi, Adnan Muhammad; Valen, Eivind; Giraldez, Antonio J.; Beaudoin, Jean-Denis; Mattick, John S.; Novoa, Eva Maria (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      RNA polyadenylation plays a central role in RNA maturation, fate, and stability. In response to developmental cues, polyA tail lengths can vary, affecting the translation efficiency and stability of mRNAs. Here we develop ...
    • Profiling of Small Ribosomal Subunits Reveals Modes and Regulation of Translation Initiation 

      Giess, Adam; Torres Cleuren, Yamila Nicole; Tjeldnes, Håkon; Krause, Maximilian; Bizuayehu, Teshome Tilahun; Hiensch, Senna; Okon, Aniekan; Wagner, Carlston; Valen, Eivind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Translation initiation is often attributed as the rate-determining step of eukaryotic protein synthesis and key to gene expression control. Despite this centrality, the series of steps involved in this process is poorly ...
