As the global population ages, there is increased interest in living longer and improving one's quality of life in later years. However, studying aging - the decline in body function - is expensive and time-consuming. And despite research…
The distribution of bases spacing in human genome was investigated. An analysis of the frequency of occurrence in the human genome of different sequence lengths flanked by one type of nucleotide was carried out showing that the distribution…
The multidrug resistant Escherichia coli strains causes multiple clinical infections and has become a rising problem globally. The metallo-\b{eta}-lactamases encoding genes are very severe in gram-negative bacteria especially E. coli. This…
Over the past 50 years, the use of mathematical models, derived from physical reasoning, to describe molecular and cellular systems has evolved from an art of the few to a cornerstone of biological inquiry. George Oster stood out as a…
In this work, the specific mass of twelve elements were determined in five of the most commonly used medicinal plants as Caraway (Carum carvi), Savory (Satureia hortensis), Purslane (Portulaca oleracea), Fenugreek (Trigonella…
We axiomatize the molecular-biology reasoning style, show compliance of the standard reference: Ptashne, A Genetic Switch, and present proof-theory-induced technologies to help infer phenotypes and to predict life cycles from genotypes. The…
The plethora of single-cell multi-omics data is getting treatment with deep learning, a revolutionary method in artificial intelligence, which has been increasingly expanding its reign over the bioscience frontiers.
A mechanism-free and symbol-agnostic conservation principle, the Conservation of Hartley-Shannon Information (CoHSI) is predicted to constrain the structure of discrete systems regardless of their origin or function. Despite their distinct…
Peptide strings have been developed as a concept for the past fourteen years. They are proposed to basically entail various quantum states engendered by the physical interactions of proteins containing peptide portions that are similar to…
Background: In organisms' genomes, promoters are short DNA sequences on the upstream of structural genes, with the function of controlling genes' transcription. Promoters can be roughly divided into two classes: constitutive promoters and…
Why life is complex and --most importantly-- what is the origin of the over abundance of complexity in nature? This is a fundamental scientific question which, paraphrasing the late Per Bak, "is screaming to be answered but seldom is even…
The genetic programming of biosynthesis of biogenic magnetic nanoparticles (BMNs) in plants was revealed by methods of comparative genomics. The samples of leaves and the root of Nicotiana tabacum, the stems and tubers of Solanum tuberosum…
The evolution of structure in biology is driven by accretion and change. Accretion brings together disparate parts to form bigger wholes. Change provides opportunities for growth and innovation. Here we review patterns and processes that…
Correlated random walks (CRW) have been used for a long time as a null model for animal's random search movement in two dimensions (2D). An increasing number of studies focus on animals' movement in three dimensions (3D), but the key…
The registration of tremor was performed in two groups of subjects (15 people in each group) with different physical fitness at rest and at a static loads of 3N. Each subject has been tested 15 series (number of series N=15) in both states…
"El Abr\'on" is a fossil deposit located in Pinar del Rio, Cuba, and whose age is only reference level VII (17 406 years BP), it is classified as the largest collection of fossils accumulated for our archipelago, produced by trophic action…
The thermoregulation system in animals removes body heat in hot temperatures and retains body heat in cold temperatures. The better the animal removes heat, the worse the animal retains heat and visa versa. It is the balance between these…
This is an article submitted to the Ten Simple Rules series of professional development articles published by PLOS Computational Biology.
We present here the proceedings of the 5th seminar on emerging infectious diseases (EIDs), held in Paris on March 22nd, 2016, with seven priority proposals that can be outlined as follows:$\bullet$Encourage research on the prediction,…
In previous papers we have described with strong experimental support, the organising role that CoHSI (Conservation of Hartley-Shannon Information) plays in determining important global properties of all known proteins, from defining the…
