A flexible model-based framework for robust estimation of mutational signatures [PDF]
Somatic mutations in cancer can be viewed as a mixture distribution of several mutational signatures, which can be inferred using non-negative matrix factorization (NMF). Mutational signatures have previously been parametrized using either simple mono-nucleotide interaction models or general tri-nucleotide interaction models. We describe a flexible and

Characterizing large scale base composition structures of genomes [PDF]
Intermittent density fluctuations of nucleotide molecules (adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine) along DNA sequences are studied in the framework of a hierarchical structure (HS) model originally proposed for the study of fully developed turbulence [She and Leque, Phys. Rev. Lett. 72}, 336 (1994)].

Summary: Nucleoside-containing metabolites such as the oxidized and reduced forms of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+ and NADH), 3′-desphospho-coenzyme A (dpCoA), and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) can be incorporated as RNA 5′ end caps by ...

AMP-activated protein kinase – not just an energy sensor [version 1; referees: 3 approved]
Orthologues of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) occur in essentially all eukaryotes as heterotrimeric complexes comprising catalytic α subunits and regulatory β and γ subunits.

Two-dimensional chemical mapping for non-coding RNAs [PDF]
Non-coding RNA molecules fold into precise base pairing patterns to carry out critical roles in genetic regulation and protein synthesis. We show here that coupling systematic mutagenesis with high-throughput SHAPE chemical mapping enables accurate base pair inference of domains from ribosomal RNA, ribozymes, and riboswitches.

Structural Basis of SARS-CoV-2 Polymerase Inhibition by Favipiravir
Summary: The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has developed into an unprecedented global pandemic. Nucleoside analogs, such as Remdesivir and Favipiravir, can serve as the first-line broad-spectrum antiviral drugs ...

Chirality in a quaternionic representation of the genetic code [PDF]
A quaternionic representation of the genetic code, previously reported by the authors, is updated in order to incorporate chirality of nucleotide bases and amino acids. The original representation assigns to each nucleotide base a prime integer quaternion of norm 7 and involves a function that associates with each codon, represented by three of these ...

Background In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as in every eukaryotic organism, the mRNA 5′-untranslated region (UTR) is important for translation initiation. However, the patterns and mechanisms that determine the efficiency with which ribozomes bind
