Systematic functional analysis of the Caenorhabditis elegans genome using RNAi

RS Kamath, AG Fraser, Y Dong, G Poulin, R Durbin… - Nature, 2003 - nature.com
A principal challenge currently facing biologists is how to connect the complete DNA sequence
of an organism to its development and behaviour. Large-scale targeted-deletions have …

How to diagnose diastolic heart failure: a consensus statement on the diagnosis of heart failure with normal left ventricular ejection fraction by the Heart Failure and …

…, B Pieske, K Dickstein, AG Fraser… - European heart …, 2007 - academic.oup.com
Diastolic heart failure (DHF) currently accounts for more than 50% of all heart failure patients.
DHF is also referred to as heart failure with normal left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (…

Functional genomic analysis of C. elegans chromosome I by systematic RNA interference

AG Fraser, RS Kamath, P Zipperlen… - Nature, 2000 - nature.com
Complete genomic sequence is known for two multicellular eukaryotes, the nematode
Caenorhabditis elegans and the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster , and it will soon be known for …

How to diagnose heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: the HFA–PEFF diagnostic algorithm: a consensus recommendation from the Heart Failure Association …

…, C Tschöpe, RA De Boer, AG Fraser… - European heart …, 2019 - academic.oup.com
Making a firm diagnosis of chronic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)
remains a challenge. We recommend a new stepwise diagnostic process, the ‘HFA–PEFF …

A compendium of RNA-binding motifs for decoding gene regulation

…, KW Lynch, LOF Penalva, EP Lei, AG Fraser… - Nature, 2013 - nature.com
RNA-binding proteins are key regulators of gene expression, yet only a small fraction have
been functionally characterized. Here we report a systematic analysis of the RNA motifs …

Genome-wide RNAi analysis of Caenorhabditis elegans fat regulatory genes

K Ashrafi, FY Chang, JL Watts, AG Fraser, RS Kamath… - Nature, 2003 - nature.com
Regulation of body fat storage involves signalling between centres that regulate feeding in
the brain and sites of fat storage and use in the body 1 , 2 . Here we describe an assay for …

Rates of behavior and aging specified by mitochondrial function during development

…, J Lehrer-Graiwer, H Hsin, AG Fraser… - Science, 2002 - science.org
To explore the role of mitochondrial activity in the aging process, we have lowered the activity
