Telomere lengths, pulmonary fibrosis and telomerase (TERT) mutations.

PloS one | 2010

Telomerase is an enzyme that catalyzes the addition of nucleotides on the ends of chromosomes. Rare loss of function mutations in the gene that encodes the protein component of telomerase (TERT) have been described in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Here we examine the telomere lengths and pulmonary fibrosis phenotype seen in multiple kindreds with heterozygous TERT mutations.

American Heart Association (tool)

RRID:SCR_007210

The American Heart Association (AHA) publishes medical scientific statements on various cardiovascular disease and stroke topics. AHA volunteer scientists and healthcare professionals write the papers. The statements are supported by scientific studies published in recognized journals and have a rigorous review and approval process. Scientific statements generally include a review of data available on a specific subject, an evaluation on its relationship to overall cardiovascular disease science, and often an American Heart Association position on the basis of that evaluation. The American Heart Association sponsors accredited scientific conferences and professional development seminars to disseminate new and emerging scientific knowledge and stimulate discussion on future research and the application of knowledge.

Motif Mutation Analysis for Regulatory Genomic Elements (tool)

RRID:SCR_021902

Software package that integrates genome wide genetic variation with epigenetic data to identify collaborative transcription factor pairs. Optimized to work with chromatin accessibility assays such as ATAC-seq or DNase I hypersensitivity, as well as transcription factor binding data collected by ChIP-seq. Used to identify combinations of cell type specific transcription factors while simultaneously interpreting functional effects of non-coding genetic variation.
