Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) that is caused by genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors. Recent advances in genomic analysis have uncovered numerous candidate genes with common…
Candida albicans is responsible for a number of life-threatening infections and causes considerable morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. Previous studies of C. albicans pathogenesis have suggested several steps must occur…
Genome-wide analysis of distributions of densities of long-range interactions of human chromosomes with each other, nucleoli, nuclear lamina, and binding sites of chromatin state regulatory proteins, CTCF and STAT1, identifies non-random…
Across all kingdoms of biological life, protein-coding genes exhibit unequal usage of synonmous codons. Although alternative theories abound, translational selection has been accepted as an important mechanism that shapes the patterns of…
Differentiating between the two main subtypes of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): Crohns disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) is a persistent clinical challenge due to overlapping presentations. This study introduces a novel…
No systematic method exists to derive intra-chromosomal potentials between nucleosomes along a chromosome consistently across a given genome. Such potentials can yield information on nucleosomal ordering, thermal as well as mechanical…
Regulatory relationships of 686 intronic miRNA and 784 intergenic miRNAs with mRNAs of 51 intronic miRNA coding genes were established. Interaction features of studied miRNAs with 5'UTR, CDS and 3'UTR of mRNA of each gene were revealed.…
Cell-to-cell heterogeneity drives a range of (patho)physiologically important phenomena, such as cell fate and chemotherapeutic resistance. The role of metabolism, and particularly mitochondria, is increasingly being recognised as an…
Background: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is an acute disease condition with a high risk of rapid deteriorations. We analysed the influence of genetics on cytokine regulation to obtain a better understanding of patient's heterogeneity.…
The emerging field of epigenetics has recently unveiled a dynamic landscape in which gene expression is not determined solely by genetic sequences but also by intricate regulatory mechanisms. This review examines the interactions between…
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations cause severe congenital diseases but may also be associated with healthy aging. MtDNA is stochastically replicated and degraded, and exists within organelles which undergo dynamic fusion and fission. The…
Among all insect genomes, honeybee displays one of the most unusual patterns with interspersed long AT and GC-rich segments. Nearly 75% of the protein-coding genes are located in the AT-rich segments of the genome, but the biological…
Background: Caenorhabditis elegans is a major model system in biology, yet very little is known about its biology outside the laboratory. Especially, its unusual mode of reproduction with self-fertile hermaphrodites and facultative males…
CpG islands (CGI) marked by bivalent chromatin in stem cells are believed to be more prone to aberrant DNA methylation in tumor cells. The robustness and genome-wide extent of this instructive program in different cancer types remain to be…
When estimating a phylogeny from a multiple sequence alignment, researchers often assume the absence of recombination. However, if recombination is present, then tree estimation and all downstream analyses will be impacted, because…
The detection of genomic regions unusually rich in a given pattern is an important undertaking in the analysis of next generation sequencing data. Recent studies of chromosomal translocations in activated B lymphocytes have identified…
The epigenome, i.e. the whole of chromatin modifications, is transferred from mother to daughter cells during cell differentiation. When de novo chromatin modifications (establishment or erasure of, respectively, new or pre-existing DNA…
Numerous studies have utilized NCBI data for genomic analysis, gene annotation, and identifying disease-associated variants, yet NCBI's epidemiological potential remains underexplored. This study demonstrates how NCBI datasets can be…
Molecular testing is rapidly becoming integral to the global tuberculosis (TB) control effort. Uncommon mechanisms of resistance can escape detection by these platforms and lead to the development of Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR) strains. This…
The research reported in this paper identifies the epigenetic biomarker (methylation beta pattern) of breast cancer. Many cancers are triggered by abnormal gene expression levels caused by aberrant methylation of CpG sites in the DNA. In…
