System-wide genomic and biochemical comparisons of sialic acid biology among primates and rodents - Evidence for two modes of rapid evolution (2006)

Altheide, Tasha K, Hayakawa, Toshiyuki, Mikkelsen, Tarjei S, Diaz, Sandra, Varki, Nissi, Varki, Ajit

Numerous vertebrate genes are involved in the biology of the oligosaccharide chains attached to glycoconjugates. These genes fall into diverse groups within the conventional Gene Ontology...

A bivalent chromatin structure marks key developmental genes in embryonic stem cells. Cell 125 (2006)

Bradley E. Bernstein, Tarjei S. Mikkelsen, Xiaohui Xie, Michael Kamal, Dana J. Huebert, James Cuff, ...

The most highly conserved noncoding elements (HCNEs) in mammalian genomes cluster within regions enriched for genes encoding developmentally important transcription factors (TFs). This suggests that...

The Case for Selection at CCR5-Δ32 (2005)

Pardis C. Sabeti, Emily Walsh, Steve F. Schaffner, Patrick Varilly, Ben Fry, Holli B. Hutcheson, ...

Sabeti and colleagues use dense genetic maps to show that the HIV-resistance CCR5-Δ32 allele is more than 5,000 years old and is likely to have been under mainly neutral selection.

The Case for Selection at CCR5-Δ32 (2005)

Pardis C. Sabeti, Emily Walsh, Steve F. Schaffner, Patrick Varilly, Ben Fry, Holli B. Hutcheson, ...

The C-C chemokine receptor 5, 32 base-pair deletion (CCR5-Δ32) allele confers strong resistance to infection by the AIDS virus HIV. Previous studies have suggested that CCR5-Δ32 arose within the...

Initial sequence of the chimpanzee genome and comparison with the human genome (2005)

Mikkelsen, Tarjei S., Hillier, LaDeana W., Eichler, Evan E., Zody, Michael C., Jaffe, David B., Yang, Shiaw-Pyng, ...

Here we present a draft genome sequence of the common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes). Through comparison with the human genome, we have generated a largely complete catalogue of the genetic differences...

What makes us human? (2004)

Mikkelsen, Tarjei S

Abstract The sequence of chimpanzee chromosome 22 is starting to help us to define the set of genetic attributes that are unique to humans, but interpreting the biological consequences of these...

Improving genome annotations using phylogenetic profile anomaly detection (2004)

Mikkelsen, Tarjei S., Galagan, James E., Mesirov, Jill P.

Motivation: A promising strategy for refining genome annotations is to detect features that conflict with known functional or evolutionary relationships between groups of genes. Previous work in this...

Simulating Biological Reactions: A Modular Approach (1999)

Er J. Hartemink, Tarjei S. Mikkelsen, David K. Gifford

Abstract. We develop a general framework for simulating a sequence of biological reactions using small simulation modules. We demonstrate the usefulness of such a framework by implementing a...

Systematic discovery of regulatory motifs in conserved regions of the human genome, including thousands of CTCF insulator sites

Xie, Xiaohui, Mikkelsen, Tarjei S., Gnirke, Andreas, Lindblad-Toh, Kerstin, Kellis, Manolis, Lander, Eric S.

Conserved noncoding elements (CNEs) constitute the majority of sequences under purifying selection in the human genome, yet their function remains largely unknown. Experimental evidence suggests that...

Genomewide Analysis of PRC1 and PRC2 Occupancy Identifies Two Classes of Bivalent Domains

Ku, Manching, Koche, Richard P., Rheinbay, Esther, Mendenhall, Eric M., Endoh, Mitsuhiro, Mikkelsen, Tarjei S., ...

In embryonic stem (ES) cells, bivalent chromatin domains with overlapping repressive (H3 lysine 27 tri-methylation) and activating (H3 lysine 4 tri-methylation) histone modifications mark the...
