• HMST-Seq-Analyzer: A new python tool for differential methylation and hydroxymethylation analysis in various DNA methylation sequencing data 

      Farooq, Amna; Grønmyr, Sindre; Omer, Ali Avan; Rognes, Torbjørn; Scheffler, Katja; Bjørås, Magnar; Wang, Junbai (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      DNA methylation (5mC) and hydroxymethylation (5hmC) are chemical modifications of cytosine bases which play a crucial role in epigenetic gene regulation. However, cost, data complexity and unavailability of comprehensive ...
    • Topology-guided polar ordering of collective cell migration 

      Lång, Emma Helena; Lång, Anna Ulrika; Blicher, Pernille; Rognes, Torbjørn; Dommersnes, Paul Gunnar; Bøe, Stig Ove (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      The ability of epithelial monolayers to self-organize into a dynamic polarized state, where cells migrate in a uniform direction, is essential for tissue regeneration, development, and tumor progression. However, the ...
    • Transcriptome analysis of human OXR1 depleted cells reveals its role in regulating the p53 signaling pathway 

      Yang, Mingyi; Lin, Xiaolin; Rowe, Alexander D.; Rognes, Torbjørn; Eide, Lars; Bjørås, Magnar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      The oxidation resistance gene 1 (OXR1) is crucial for protecting against oxidative stress; however, its molecular function is unknown. We employed RNA sequencing to examine the role of human OXR1 for genome wide transcription ...
    • Uracil Accumulation and Mutagenesis Dominated by Cytosine Deamination in CpG Dinucleotides in Mice Lacking UNG and SMUG 

      Alsøe, Lene; Sarno, Antonio; Carracedo Huroz, Sergio; Domanska, Diana Ewa; Dingler, Felix; Lirussi, Lisa; Sengupta, Tanima; Tekin, Nuriye Basdag; Jobert, Laure; Alexandrov, Ludmil B.; Galashevskaya, Anastasia; Rada, Cristina; Sandve, Geir Kjetil; Rognes, Torbjørn; Krokan, Hans Einar; Nilsen, Hilde Loge (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Both a DNA lesion and an intermediate for antibody maturation, uracil is primarily processed by base excision repair (BER), either initiated by uracil-DNA glycosylase (UNG) or by single-strand selective monofunctional ...
