Solution hybrid selection with ultra-long oligonucleotides for massively parallel targeted sequencing

A Gnirke, A Melnikov, J Maguire, P Rogov… - Nature …, 2009 - nature.com
Targeting genomic loci by massively parallel sequencing requires new methods to enrich
templates to be sequenced. We developed a capture method that uses biotinylated RNA 'baits' …

Chromatin extrusion explains key features of loop and domain formation in wild-type and engineered genomes

…, KP Geeting, A Gnirke, A Melnikov… - Proceedings of the …, 2015 - National Acad Sciences
We recently used in situ Hi-C to create kilobase-resolution 3D maps of mammalian genomes.
Here, we combine these maps with new Hi-C, microscopy, and genome-editing …

Systematic dissection and optimization of inducible enhancers in human cells using a massively parallel reporter assay

A Melnikov, A Murugan, X Zhang, T Tesileanu… - Nature …, 2012 - nature.com
Learning to read and write the transcriptional regulatory code is of central importance to
progress in genetic analysis and engineering. Here we describe a massively parallel reporter …

Systematic dissection of regulatory motifs in 2000 predicted human enhancers using a massively parallel reporter assay

P Kheradpour, J Ernst, A Melnikov, P Rogov… - Genome …, 2013 - genome.cshlp.org
Genome-wide chromatin annotations have permitted the mapping of putative regulatory
elements across multiple human cell types. However, their experimental dissection by directed …

[PDF][PDF] Systematic functional dissection of common genetic variation affecting red blood cell traits

…, L Wang, FC Giani, X Zhang, P Rogov, A Melnikov… - Cell, 2016 - cell.com
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have successfully identified thousands of associations
between common genetic variants and human disease phenotypes, but the majority of …

[HTML][HTML] Targeted next-generation sequencing of a cancer transcriptome enhances detection of sequence variants and novel fusion transcripts

JZ Levin, MF Berger, X Adiconis, P Rogov, A Melnikov… - Genome biology, 2009 - Springer
Targeted RNA-Seq combines next-generation sequencing with capture of sequences from
a relevant subset of a transcriptome. When testing by capturing sequences from a tumor …

Comprehensive mutational scanning of a kinase in vivo reveals substrate-dependent fitness landscapes

A Melnikov, P Rogov, L Wang, A Gnirke… - Nucleic acids …, 2014 - academic.oup.com
Deep mutational scanning has emerged as a promising tool for mapping sequence–activity
relationships in proteins, ribonucleic acid and deoxyribonucleic acid. In this approach, …

Systematic dissection of genomic features determining transcription factor binding and enhancer function

…, L Wang, J Engreitz, A Melnikov… - Proceedings of the …, 2017 - National Acad Sciences
Enhancers regulate gene expression through the binding of sequence-specific transcription
factors (TFs) to cognate motifs. Various features influence TF binding and enhancer function…

Population genomics studies identify signatures of global dispersal and drug resistance in Plasmodium vivax

DN Hupalo, Z Luo, A Melnikov, PL Sutton, P Rogov… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
Plasmodium vivax is a major public health burden, responsible for the majority of malaria
infections outside Africa. We explored the impact of demographic history and selective …

[HTML][HTML] Genome analysis of three Pneumocystis species reveals adaptation mechanisms to life exclusively in mammalian hosts

…, JZ Levin, Y Liu, P Macdonald, A Melnikov… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
Pneumocystis jirovecii is a major cause of life-threatening pneumonia in immunosuppressed
patients including transplant recipients and those with HIV/AIDS, yet surprisingly little is …
