      It was a zoological sensation when a living specimen of the coelacanth was first discovered in 1938, as this lineage of lobe-finned fish was thought to have gone extinct 70 million years ago. The modern coelacanth looks ...

    • Comprehensive comparative analysis of RNA sequencing methods for degraded or low input samples 

      Adiconis, Xian; Borges-Rivera, Diego; Satija, Rahul; DeLuca, David S.; Busby, Michele A.; Berlin, Aaron M.; Sivachenko, Andrey; Thompson, Dawn Anne; Wysoker, Alec; Fennell, Timothy; Gnirke, Andreas; Pochet, Nathalie; Regev, Aviv; Levin, Joshua Z. (2013)
      RNA-Seq is an effective method to study the transcriptome, but can be difficult to apply to scarce or degraded RNA from fixed clinical samples, rare cell populations, or cadavers. Recent studies have proposed several methods ...

    • Distinctive Expansion of Potential Virulence Genes in the Genome of the Oomycete Fish Pathogen Saprolegnia parasitica 

      Jiang, Rays H. Y.; de Bruijn, Irene; Haas, Brian J.; Belmonte, Rodrigo; Löbach, Lars; Christie, James; van den Ackerveken, Guido; Bottin, Arnaud; Bulone, Vincent; Díaz-Moreno, Sara M.; Dumas, Bernard; Fan, Lin; Gaulin, Elodie; Govers, Francine; Grenville-Briggs, Laura J.; Horner, Neil R.; Levin, Joshua Z.; Mammella, Marco; Meijer, Harold J.

      Oomycetes in the class Saprolegniomycetidae of the Eukaryotic kingdom Stramenopila have evolved as severe pathogens of amphibians, crustaceans, fish and insects, resulting in major losses in aquaculture and damage to aquatic ...

    • Genomics of Loa loa, a Wolbachia-free filarial parasite of humans 

      Desjardins, Christopher A.; Cerqueira, Gustavo C.; Goldberg, Jonathan M.; Hotopp, Julie C. Dunning; Haas, Brian J.; Zucker, Jeremy; Ribeiro, Jose’ M.C.; Saif, Sakina; Levin, Joshua Z.; Fan, Lin; Zeng, Qiandong; Russ, Carsten; Wortman, Jennifer R.; Fink, Doran L.; Birren, Bruce W.; Nutman, Thomas B. (2014)
      Loa loa, the African eyeworm, is a major filarial pathogen of humans. Unlike most filariae, Loa loa does not contain the obligate intracellular Wolbachia endosymbiont. We describe the 91.4 Mb genome of Loa loa, and the ...

    • Highly Sensitive and Specific Detection of Rare Variants in Mixed Viral Populations from Massively Parallel Sequence Data 

      Macalalad, Alexander R.; Zody, Michael; Charlebois, Patrick; Lennon, Niall J.; Newman, Ruchi M.; Malboeuf, Christine M.; Ryan, Elizabeth Marie; Boutwell, Christian Lane; Power, Karen A.; Brackney, Doug E.; Pesko, Kendra N.; Levin, Joshua Zvi; Ebel, Gregory D.; Allen, Todd; Birren, Bruce W.; Henn, Matthew R. (Public Library of Science, 2012)
      Viruses diversify over time within hosts, often undercutting the effectiveness of host defenses and therapeutic interventions. To design successful vaccines and therapeutics, it is critical to better understand viral ...

    • Massively Parallel Sequencing of Human Urinary Exosome/Microvesicle RNA Reveals a Predominance of Non-Coding RNA 

      Miranda, Kevin C.; Bond, Daniel T.; Levin, Joshua Z.; Adiconis, Xian; Sivachenko, Andrey; Russ, Carsten; Brown, Dennis; Nusbaum, Chad; Russo, Leileata M. (Public Library of Science, 2014)
      Intact RNA from exosomes/microvesicles (collectively referred to as microvesicles) has sparked much interest as potential biomarkers for the non-invasive analysis of disease. Here we use the Illumina Genome Analyzer to ...

    • Peptidomic discovery of short open reading frame-encoded peptides in human cells 

      Slavoff, Sarah A.; Mitchell, Andrew J.; Schwaid, Adam G.; Cabili, Moran N.; Ma, Jiao; Levin, Joshua Z.; Karger, Amir; Budnik, Bogdan A.; Rinn, John L.; Saghatelian, Alan (2013)
      The amount of the transcriptome that is translated into polypeptides is of fundamental importance. We developed a peptidomic strategy to detect short ORF (sORF)-encoded polypeptides (SEPs) in human cells. We identified 90 ...
