An atlas of human long non-coding RNAs with accurate 5′ ends

Combining these findings with conservation data, we identify 19,175 potentially functional lncRNAs in the human genome.

Protective benefit of predominant breastfeeding against otitis media may be limited to early childhood: results from a prospective birth cohort study

Our findings are in line with a number of epidemiological studies which show a positive association between breastfeeding and OM in early childhood

No simple answers for the Finnish and Russian Karelia allergy contrast: Methylation of CD14 gene

The methylation variation in the promoter region of CD14 gene did not explain the asthma and allergy contrast between Finnish and Russian Karelian children

Common variants in the HLA-DRB1-HLA-DQA1 HLA class II region are associated with susceptibility to visceral leishmaniasis

A conditional analysis provided evidence for multiple associations within the HLA-DRB1-HLA-DQA1 region,and a model in which risk differed between three...
