Inferring genomic loss and location of tumor suppressor genes from high density genotypes (2005)

Wang, Hui, Lee, Yohan, Nelson, Stanley, Sabatti, Chiara

Novel technologies, such as the 10k Affymetrix genotyping array, allow scoring of genetic polymorphisms at a very high density across the genome. This allows researchers to conduct traditional...

Bayesian Gaussian Mixture Models for High Density Genotyping Arrays (2005)

Sabatti, Chiara, Lange, Kenneth

Affymetrix's SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) genotyping chips have increased the scope and decreased the cost of gene mapping studies. Because each SNP is queried by mul- tiple DNA probes, the...

Reconstructing Ancestral Haplotypes with a Dictionary Model (2005)

Ayers, Kristen L, Sabatti, Chiara, Lange, Kenneth

We propose a dictionary model for haplotypes. According to the model, a haplotype is con- structed by randomly concatenating haplotype segments from a given dictionary of segments. A haplotype block...

Bayesian Sparse Hidden Components Analysis for Transcription Regulation Networks (2005)

Sabatti, Chiara, James, Gareth

We describe a framework where DNA sequence information and expression arrays data are used in concert to analyze the effects of a collection of regulatory proteins on genomic expres- sion levels. The...

A Vocabulon Study of E.Coli Regulatory Sites with Feedback to Expression Array Analysis (2003)

Sabatti, Chiara, Rohlin, Lars

The identification of binding sites for regulatory proteins in the up-stream region of genes is an important ingredient towards the understanding of transcription regulation. In recent years, novel...

Genomewide Motif Identification Using a Dictionary Model (2002)

Sabatti, Chiara, Lange, Kenneth

This paper surveys and extends models and algorithms for identifying binding sites in non-coding regions of DNA. These sites control the transcription of genes into messenger RNA in preparation for...

False Discovery Rate and Correction for Multiple Comparisons in Linkage Disequilibrium Genome Screens (2002)
