Potential biomarkers in personality disorders: current state and future research

International Journal of Psychological Research, 2016
This review article presents the most appropriate strategies for examining the phenotype for personality disorders. At present there are many neurobiological and molecular studies that suggest a genetic predisposition to different traits representative ...

Identification of candidate genes affecting the tibia quality in Nonghua duck

Poultry Science
: The skeleton is a vital organ providing structural support in poultry. Weakness in bone structure can lead to deformities, osteoporosis, cage fatigue, and fractures, resulting in economic losses.

Host association and selection on salivary protein genes in bed bugs and related blood-feeding ectoparasites [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2017
Reciprocal selective pressures can drive coevolutionary changes in parasites and hosts, and result in parasites that are highly specialized to their hosts.

Transcriptomic Characterization of Candidate Genes for Fusarium Resistance in Maize (Zea mays L.)

Pathogens
Fusarium diseases are among the most dangerous fungal diseases of plants. To date, there are no plant protectants that completely prevent fusariosis. Current breeding trends are therefore focused on increasing genetic resistance.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Evolution of genes involved in feeding preference and metabolic processes in Calliphoridae (Diptera: Calyptratae) [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Background The genotype-phenotype interactions among traits governing feeding preference are of fundamental importance to behavioral genetics and evolutionary biology.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Probing the Gene eXpression Database for candidate genes [PDF]

European Journal of Human Genetics, 1999
We report on a strategy for the identification of candidate genes for multiple malformation syndromes using expression data available in public databases. The basis for this pilot study was the assumption that, for a multiple malformation syndrome, the expression pattern of the causative gene should at least cover the organs or tissues affected by the ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...
