Dynamic responses to rejection in the transplanted human heart revealed through spatial transcriptomics

Kaushik V Amancherla, Angela M. Taravella Oill, Xavier Bledsoe, Arianna L. Williams-Katek, Nelson Chow, Anna J. Smith, Melissa A. Farrow, Shilin Zhao, Quanhu Sheng, David W. Bearl, Alexander N. Perez, Robert Hoffman, Jonathan Nathan Menachem, Hasan Khalid Siddiqi, D. Marshall Brinkley, , Ravi V. Shah

This study uses spatial transcriptomics to analyze gene expression in heart transplant recipients during rejection, identifying distinct transcriptomic profiles associated with different rejection types and outcomes.

Genomic analysis reveals geography rather than culture as the predominant factor shaping genetic variation in northern Kenyan human populations

Angela M. Taravella Oill, Carla Handley, Emma K Howell, Anne C. Stone, Sarah Mathew, Melissa A. Wilson

This study shows that geography, not culture, mainly influences genetic variation among northern Kenyan populations.

PopInf: An approach for reproducibly visualizing and assigning population affiliation in genomic samples of uncertain origin

Angela M. Taravella Oill, Anagha J. Deshpande, Heini M. Natri, Melissa A. Wilson

PopInf assigns genetic ancestry to samples with unknown origin using a reference panel, identifying discrepancies between reported race and inferred ancestry in TCGA liver cancer data.

Ancient European dog genomes reveal continuity since the early Neolithic

Laura R. Botigué, Shiya Song, Amelie Scheu, Shyamalika Gopalan, Amanda L. Pendleton, Matthew T. Oetjens, Angela M. Taravella Oill, Timo Seregély, Andrea Zeeb‐Lanz, Rose‐Marie Arbogast, Dean Bobo, Kevin G. Daly, Martina Unterländer, Joachim Bürger, Jeffrey M. Kidd, Krishna R. Veeramah

This study sequenced ancient dog genomes from the Neolithic period in Europe, finding continuity with modern dogs and rejecting a population replacement model and dual origins hypothesis for dog domestication.
