PseudoFuN: Deriving functional potentials of pseudogenes from integrative relationships with genes and microRNAs across 32 cancers [PDF]

, 2019
BACKGROUND: Long thought "relics" of evolution, not until recently have pseudogenes been of medical interest regarding regulation in cancer. Often, these regulatory roles are a direct by-product of their close sequence homology to protein-coding genes.

Chemical combinations potentiate human pluripotent stem cell-derived 3D pancreatic progenitor clusters toward functional β cells

Nature Communications, 2021
Human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) derived pancreatic beta cells are a promising and potentially limitless source for cell replacement therapy.

Coordinated functional divergence of genes after genome duplication in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]

, 2017
Gene and genome duplications have been rampant during the evolution of flowering plants. Unlike small-scale gene duplications, whole-genome duplications (WGDs) copy entire pathways or networks, and as such create the unique situation in which such ...

Novel biosensor for high-throughput detection of progesterone receptor-interacting endocrine disruptors

Scientific Reports
Progesterone receptor (PR)-interacting compounds in the environment are associated with serious health hazards. However, methods for their detection in environmental samples are cumbersome.

Structural basis underlying viral hijacking of a histone chaperone complex

Nature Communications, 2016
The Epstein-Barr virus tegument protein BNRF1 is required for the establishment of selective viral gene expression during latency and interacts with the histone chaperone DAXX.

Functional Characteristics of Gene Expression Motifs with Single and Dual Strategies of Regulation

, 2016
Transcriptional regulation by transcription factors and post-transcriptional regulation by microRNAs constitute two major modes of regulation of gene expression.

Ironing out the conflicts: iron supplementation reduces negatives bacterial interactions in the rhizosphere of an Atacama-endemic perennial grass

Environmental Microbiome
Background In plants, root exudates selectively influence the growth of bacteria that colonize the rhizosphere. Bacterial communities associated with root systems are involved in macro and micronutrients cycling and organic matter transformation.

Post-transcriptional gene silencing mediated by microRNAs is controlled by nucleoplasmic Sfpq

Nature Communications, 2017
MicroRNAs have been best characterized for their functions in the cytoplasm; however, there is growing evidence of a nuclear localized role. Here, the authors identify Sfpq as an Ago2-interacting protein that modulates miRNA activity in both the nucleus ...

Sorting and packaging of RNA into extracellular vesicles shape intracellular transcript levels

BMC Biology, 2022
Background Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released by nearly every cell type and have attracted much attention for their ability to transfer protein and diverse RNA species from donor to recipient cells.

Statistical Indicators of Collective Behavior and Functional Clusters in Gene Networks of Yeast [PDF]

, 2005
We analyze gene expression time-series data of yeast S. cerevisiae measured along two full cell-cycles. We quantify these data by using q-exponentials, gene expression ranking and a temporal mean-variance analysis.
