[HTML][HTML] Ten things you should know about transposable elements

G Bourque, KH Burns, M Gehring, V Gorbunova… - Genome biology, 2018 - Springer
Transposable elements (TEs) are major components of eukaryotic genomes. However, the
extent of their impact on genome evolution, function, and disease remain a matter of intense …

Computational tools to unmask transposable elements

P Goerner-Potvin, G Bourque - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2018 - nature.com
A substantial proportion of the genome of many species is derived from transposable elements
(TEs). Moreover, through various self-copying mechanisms, TEs continue to proliferate in …

Transposable elements in gene regulation and in the evolution of vertebrate genomes

G Bourque - Current opinion in genetics & development, 2009 - Elsevier
Repetitive DNA and in particular transposable elements have been intimately linked to
eukaryotic genomes for millions of years. Once overlooked for being only a collection of selfish …

MetaboAnalyst 4.0: towards more transparent and integrative metabolomics analysis

…, O Soufan, C Li, I Caraus, S Li, G Bourque… - Nucleic acids …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
We present a new update to MetaboAnalyst (version 4.0) for comprehensive metabolomic

An oestrogen-receptor-α-bound human chromatin interactome

…, YK Lee, RKM Karuturi, T Herve, G Bourque… - Nature, 2009 - nature.com
Genomes are organized into high-level three-dimensional structures, and DNA elements
separated by long genomic distances can in principle interact functionally. Many transcription …

The Oct4 and Nanog transcription network regulates pluripotency in mouse embryonic stem cells

…, JL Chew, VB Vega, W Zhang, X Chen, G Bourque… - Nature …, 2006 - nature.com
Oct4 and Nanog are transcription factors required to maintain the pluripotency and self-renewal
of embryonic stem (ES) cells. Using the chromatin immunoprecipitation paired-end …

[HTML][HTML] Integration of external signaling pathways with the core transcriptional network in embryonic stem cells

…, B Leong, A Shahab, Y Ruan, G Bourque… - Cell, 2008 - cell.com
Transcription factors (TFs) and their specific interactions with targets are crucial for specifying
gene-expression programs. To gain insights into the transcriptional regulatory networks in …

…, B Walenz, JMD Wood, AV Zimin, G Bourque… - Nature, 2023 - nature.com
Here the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium presents a first draft of the human
pangenome reference. The pangenome contains 47 phased, diploid assemblies from a cohort of …

[PDF][PDF] The allelic landscape of human blood cell trait variation and links to common complex disease

…, S Beck, DS Paul, T Pastinen, D Bujold, G Bourque… - Cell, 2016 - cell.com
Many common variants have been associated with hematological traits, but identification of
causal genes and pathways has proven challenging. We performed a genome-wide …

[HTML][HTML] K27M mutation in histone H3. 3 defines clinically and biologically distinct subgroups of pediatric diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas

…, M Bourgey, G Bourque, A Montpetit, G Bourret… - Acta …, 2012 - Springer
