Stacking-induced fluorescence increase reveals allosteric interactions through DNA [PDF]
From gene expression to nanotechnology, understanding and controlling DNA requires a detailed knowledge of its higher order structure and dynamics. Here we take advantage of the environment-sensitive photoisomerization of cyanine dyes to probe local and ...

How combinations of gene-environment interactions collectively give rise to genotype-environment interactions is not fully understood. To shed light on this problem, we genetically dissected an environment-specific poor growth phenotype in a cross of two

Natural variation in abiotic stress responsive gene expression and local adaptation to climate in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
Gene expression varies widely in natural populations, yet the proximate and ultimate causes of this variation are poorly known. Understanding how variation in gene expression affects abiotic stress tolerance, fitness, and adaptation is central to the ...

Gene-environment interaction effects on lung function- a genome-wide association study within the Framingham heart study [PDF]
Background: Previous studies in occupational exposure and lung function have focused only on the main effect of occupational exposure or genetics on lung function.

Springer: An R package for bi-level variable selection of high-dimensional longitudinal data
In high-dimensional data analysis, the bi-level (or the sparse group) variable selection can simultaneously conduct penalization on the group level and within groups, which has been developed for continuous, binary, and survival responses in the ...

The Role of Genes in Defining a Molecular Biology of PTSD [PDF]
Because environmental exposure to trauma is the sine qua non for the development of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), the recent focus on genetic studies has been noteworthy. The main catalyst for such studies is the observation from epidemiological

Gene-environment interaction between body mass index and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFβ1) gene in knee and hip osteoarthritis [PDF]
Introduction: The objective was to investigate potential gene-environment interaction between body mass index (BMI) and each of eight TGFβ1 polymorphisms in knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA).

Genotype by environment interaction for gene expression in Drosophila melanogaster
Huang et al. show that developing under different temperatures changes the genetic architecture of regulatory variation in Drosophila melanogaster gene expression yet the co-expression network remains robust.

Maximal information component analysis: a novel non-linear network analysis method. [PDF]
BackgroundNetwork construction and analysis algorithms provide scientists with the ability to sift through high-throughput biological outputs, such as transcription microarrays, for small groups of genes (modules) that are relevant for further research ...
