    • Bioinformatic Identification and Characterization of Human Endothelial Cell-Restricted Genes 

      Bhasin, Manoj; Yuan, Lei; Keskin, Derin Benerci; Otu, Hasan H; Libermann, Towia Aron; Oettgen, Peter (BioMed Central, 2010)
      Background: In this study, we used a systematic bioinformatics analysis approach to elucidate genes that exhibit an endothelial cell (EC) restricted expression pattern, and began to define their regulation, tissue distribution, ...
    • Gene Expression Analysis of Embryonic Stem Cells Expressing VE-Cadherin (CD144) During Endothelial Differentiation 

      Nikolova-Krstevski, Vesna; Bhasin, Manoj; Otu, Hasan H; Libermann, Towia Aron; Oettgen, Peter (BioMed Central, 2008)
      Backgroun: Endothelial differentiation occurs during normal vascular development in the developing embryo. This process is recapitulated in the adult when endothelial progenitor cells are generated in the bone marrow and ...
    • Genomic Counter-Stress Changes Induced by the Relaxation Response 

      Dusek, Jeffery A.; Otu, Hasan H; Wohlhueter, Ann L.; Bhasin, Manoj; Zerbini, Luiz F.; Joseph, Marie G.; Benson, Herbert; Libermann, Towia Aron (Public Library of Science, 2008)
      Background: Mind-body practices that elicit the relaxation response (RR) have been used worldwide for millennia to prevent and treat disease. The RR is characterized by decreased oxygen consumption, increased exhaled nitric ...
    • Grammar-Based Distance in Progressive Multiple Sequence Alignment 

      Russell, David J; Otu, Hasan H; Sayood, Khalid (BioMed Central, 2008)
      Background: We propose a multiple sequence alignment (MSA) algorithm and compare the alignment-quality and execution-time of the proposed algorithm with that of existing algorithms. The proposed progressive alignment ...
    • Sequencing, Analysis, and Annotation of Expressed Sequence Tags for Camelus dromedarius 

      Al-Swailem, Abdulaziz M.; Shehata, Maher M.; Abu-Duhier, Faisel M.; Al-Yamani, Essam J.; Al-Busadah, Khalid A.; Al-Arawi, Mohammed S.; Al-Khider, Ali Y.; Al-Muhaimeed, Abdullah N.; Al-Qahtani, Fahad H.; Manee, Manee M.; Al-Shomrani, Badr M.; Al-Qhtani, Saad M.; Al-Harthi, Amer S.; Akdemir, Kadir C.; Inan, Mehmet S.; Otu, Hasan H (Public Library of Science, 2010)
      Despite its economical, cultural, and biological importance, there has not been a large scale sequencing project to date for Camelus dromedarius. With the goal of sequencing complete DNA of the organism, we first established ...
