Cyclic nucleotide signaling as a drug target in retinitis pigmentosa

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Disruptions in cGMP and cAMP signaling can contribute to retinal dysfunction and photoreceptor loss in retinitis pigmentosa. This perspective examines the mechanisms and evaluates emerging evidence on targeting these pathways as a potential therapeutic strategy to slow or prevent retinal degeneration.

Evolution-guided functional analyses reveal diverse antiviral specificities encoded by IFIT1 genes in mammals

open access: yeseLife, 2016
IFIT (interferon-induced with tetratricopeptide repeats) proteins are critical mediators of mammalian innate antiviral immunity. Mouse IFIT1 selectively inhibits viruses that lack 2'O-methylation of their mRNA 5' caps.

Consequences of resistance evolution in a Cas9-based sex conversion-suppression gene drive for insect pest management

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018
Significance Resistance evolution caused by CRISPR/Cas9 gene-drive systems has a major impact on both the future scientific design of such gene-drive systems and on the politics of regulating experimentation and use of such systems. In our study, we show

INFORMATIONAL TRANSFER IN MEIOTIC GENE CONVERSION [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1969
Aberrant meiotic segregations attributable to intragenic events have been analyzed in an unselected sample of 1611 tetrads from three heteroallelic diploids of Saccharomyces cerevisiae . Reciprocal recombination between alleles accounts for only a minor fraction of the total aberrant tetrads, while the majority ...

The epithelial barrier theory proposes a comprehensive explanation for the origins of allergic and other chronic noncommunicable diseases

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Exposure to common noxious agents (1), including allergens, pollutants, and micro‐nanoplastics, can cause epithelial barrier damage (2) in our body's protective linings. This may trigger an immune response to our microbiome (3). The epithelial barrier theory explains how this process can lead to chronic noncommunicable diseases (4) affecting organs ...

Inter-genomic DNA Exchanges and Homeologous Gene Silencing Shaped the Nascent Allopolyploid Coffee Genome (Coffea arabica L.)

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016
Allopolyploidization is a biological process that has played a major role in plant speciation and evolution. Genomic changes are common consequences of polyploidization, but their dynamics over time are still poorly understood. Coffea arabica, a recently

Evidence for Widespread GC-biased Gene Conversion in Eukaryotes

open access: yesGenome Biology and Evolution, 2012
GC-biased gene conversion (gBGC) is a process that tends to increase the GC content of recombining DNA over evolutionary time and is thought to explain the evolution of GC content in mammals and yeasts.

From omics to AI—mapping the pathogenic pathways in type 2 diabetes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Integrating multi‐omics data with AI‐based modelling (unsupervised and supervised machine learning) identify optimal patient clusters, informing AI‐driven accurate risk stratification. Digital twins simulate individual trajectories in real time, guiding precision medicine by matching patients to targeted therapies.
