We examined cases of isolated PUV to identify novel copy number variants (CNVs). We identified 56 cases of isolated PUV from all live-births in New York State (1998–2005).

    DATA MINING FOR IDENTIFYING KEY GENES IN BIOLOGICAL PROCESSES USING GENE EXPRESSION DATA A Dissertation by JIN LI Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Peng Yu Committee Members, Ulisses Braga-Neto James Cai Jiang Hu Head of Department, Miroslav M. Begovic December 2018 Major Subject: Electrical Engineering Copyright 2018 Jin Li ABSTRACT A large volume of gene expression data is being generated for studying mechanisms of various biological processes. These precious data enabled various computational analyses to speed up the understanding of biological knowledge. However, it remains a challenge to analyze the data efficiently for new knowledge mining. These data were generated for different purposes, and their heterogeneity makes it difficult to consistently integrate the datasets, slowing down the reuse of these data and the process of biological discovery for new knowledge. To facilitate the reuse of these precious data, we engaged biology experts to manually collected RNA-Seq gene expression datasets for perturbed splicing factors and RNA-binding proteins, resulting in two online databases, SFMetaDB and RBPMetaDB. These two databases hold comprehensive RNA-Seq gene expression data for mouse splicing factors and RNA-binding proteins, and they can be used for identify key genes or regulators in biological processes or human diseases. Beside showing an importance of two databases, these two projects also demonstrated an efficient way to collect data. In my dissertation, we also engaged biology collaborators to collect comprehensive regulate genes in cold-induced thermogenesis supported by in vivo experiments with key genes deposited to CITGeneDB.
