OKCAM: an ontology-based, human-centered knowledgebase for cell adhesion molecules (2009)

Li, Chuan-Yun, Liu, Qing-Rong, Zhang, Ping-Wu, Li, Xiao-Mo, Wei, Liping, Uhl, George R.

‘Cell adhesion molecules’ (CAMs) are essential elements of cell/cell communication that are important for proper development and plasticity of a variety of organs and tissues. In the brain,...

Genome wide association for substance dependence: convergent results from epidemiologic and research volunteer samples (2008)

Johnson, Catherine, Drgon, Tomas, Liu, Qing-Rong, Zhang, Ping-Wu, Walther, Donna, Li, Chuan-Yun, ...

Abstract Background Dependences on addictive substances are substantially-heritable complex disorders whose molecular genetic bases have been partially elucidated by studies that have largely focused...

Trans-natural antisense transcripts including noncoding RNAs in 10 species: implications for expression regulation (2008)

Li, Jiong-Tang, Zhang, Yong, Kong, Lei, Liu, Qing-Rong, Wei, Liping

Natural antisense transcripts are at least partially complementary to their sense transcripts. Cis-Sense/Antisense pairs (cis-SAs) have been extensively characterized and known to play diverse...

Neurexin 3 polymorphisms are associated with alcohol dependence and altered expression of specific isoforms (2007)

Hishimoto, Akitoyo, Liu, Qing-Rong, Drgon, Tomas, Pletnikova, Olga, Walther, Donna, Zhu, Xu-Guang, ...

Neurexins are cell adhesion molecules that help to specify and stabilize synapses and provide receptors for neuroligins, neurexophilins, dystroglycans and α-latrotoxins. We previously reported...

Molecular genetics of nicotine dependence and abstinence: whole genome association using 520,000 SNPs (2007)

Uhl, George R, Liu, Qing-Rong, Drgon, Tomas, Johnson, Catherine, Walther, Donna, Rose, Jed E

Abstract Background Classical genetic studies indicate that nicotine dependence is a substantially heritable complex disorder. Genetic vulnerabilities to nicotine dependence largely overlap with...

NATsDB: Natural Antisense Transcripts DataBase (2007)

Zhang, Yong, Li, Jiongtang, Kong, Lei, Gao, Ge, Liu, Qing-Rong, Wei, Liping

Natural antisense transcripts (NATs) are reverse complementary at least in part to the sequences of other endogenous sense transcripts. Most NATs are transcribed from opposite strands of their sense...

NATsDB: Natural Antisense Transcripts DataBase (2006)

Zhang, Yong, Li, Jiongtang, Kong, Lei, Gao, Ge, Liu, Qing-Rong, Wei, Liping

Natural antisense transcripts (NATs) are reverse complementary at least in part to the sequences of other endogenous sense transcripts. Most NATs are transcribed from opposite strands of their sense...

Genome-wide in silico identification and analysis of cis natural antisense transcripts (cis-NATs) in ten species (2006)

Zhang, Yong, Liu, X. Shirley, Liu, Qing-Rong, Wei, Liping

We developed a fast, integrative pipeline to identify cis natural antisense transcripts (cis-NATs) at genome scale. The pipeline mapped mRNAs and ESTs in UniGene to genome sequences in GoldenPath to...

Pooled association genome scanning: Validation and use to identify addiction vulnerability loci in two samples

Liu, Qing-Rong, Drgon, Tomas, Walther, Donna, Johnson, Catherine, Poleskaya, Oxanna, Hess, Judith, ...

Association genome scanning is of increasing interest for identifying the chromosomal regions that contain gene variants that contribute to vulnerability to complex disorders, including addictions....

GBPI, a novel gastrointestinal- and brain-specific PP1-inhibitory protein, is activated by PKC and inactivated by PKA.

Liu, Qing-Rong, Zhang, Ping-Wu, Lin, Zhicheng, Li, Qi-Fu, Woods, Amina S, Troncoso, Juan, ...

The activities of PP1 (protein phosphatase 1), a principal cellular phosphatase that reverses serine/threonine protein phosphorylation, can be altered by inhibitors whose activities are themselves...

Polysubstance Abuse–Vulnerability Genes: Genome Scans for Association, Using 1,004 Subjects and 1,494 Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms

Uhl, George R., Liu, Qing-Rong, Walther, Donna, Hess, Judith, Naiman, Daniel

Strong genetic contributions to drug abuse vulnerability are well documented, but few chromosomal locations for human drug-abuse vulnerability alleles have been confirmed. We now identify chromosomal...
