Narrowing of the SLES1 Internal Reveals Complex Epistatic Interactions in the Suppression of Autoimmunity
Sle1 is a potent susceptibility locus for spontaneous systemic autoimmunity derived from the NZM2410 mouse strain. The NZW-derived suppressive modifier locus, Sles1, specifically prevents the spontaneous loss in tolerance mediated by the B6.Sle1 congenic. Sles1 had previously been fine-mapped to a …

The Structural Distribution of Epistasis in a Pair of Essential Metabolic Enzymes
… proteins do not act as independent entities, the genetic background influences the effect of a mutation in unexpected ways. This context-dependence of mutational effects is epistasis. Extensive progress has been made in our ability to identify epistasis between proteins. However, how the epistasis …

An Imaging Approach to Examine Telomere Dynamics and Regulation of Gene Expression with Aging
Telomeres are repetitive non-coding nucleotide sequences (TTAGGG)n capping the ends of chromosomes. Improved methods to measure the shortest (not just average) telomere lengths (TLs) are needed. Progressive telomere shortening with increasing age has been associated with shifts in gene expression …
