Gene expression rearrangements denoting changes in the biological state [PDF]
Sci Rep 11, 8470 (2021), 2017 In many situations, the gene expression signature is a unique marker of the biological state. We study the modification of the gene expression distribution function when the biological state of a system experiences a change. This change may be the result of a selective pressure, as in the Long Term Evolution Experiment with E.

The power of microRNA regulation—insights into immunity and metabolism
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.MicroRNAs are emerging as crucial regulators at the intersection of metabolism and immunity. This review examines how miRNAs coordinate glucose and lipid metabolism while simultaneously modulating T‐cell development and immune responses. Moreover, it highlights how cutting‐edge artificial intelligence applications can identify miRNA biomarkers ...

Bidirectional transcription directs both transcriptional gene activation and suppression in human cells. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2008 Small RNAs targeted to gene promoters in human cells have been shown to modulate both transcriptional gene suppression and activation. However, the mechanism involved in transcriptional activation has remained poorly defined, and an endogenous RNA ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Urine is a rich source of biomarkers for cancer detection. Tumor‐derived material is released into the bloodstream and transported to the urine. Urine can easily be collected from individuals, allowing non‐invasive cancer detection. This review discusses the rationale behind urine‐based cancer detection and its potential for cancer diagnostics ...

Foxtail mosaic virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) in switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.)
Plant Methods, 2022 Background Although the genome for the allotetraploid bioenergy crop switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) has been established, limitations in mutant resources have hampered in planta gene function studies toward crop optimization. Virus-induced gene silencing

New gene formation in hybrid Drosophila [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The origin of new genes is among the most fundamental processes underlying genetic innovation. The substrate of new genetic material available defines the outcomes of evolutionary processes in nature. Historically, the field of genetic novelty has commonly invoked new mutations at the DNA level to explain the ways that new genes might originate.
