Theory in Biosciences, 2008 In order to describe a cell at molecular level, a notion of a "gene" is neither necessary nor helpful. It is sufficient to consider the molecules (i.e., chromosomes, transcripts, proteins) and their interactions to describe cellular processes. The downside of the resulting high resolution is that it becomes very tedious to address features on the ...

Nature Communications, 2020 Chronic lung diseases are characterized by molecular and cellular composition changes. Here the authors use single-cell RNA sequencing to map cell type-specific changes in human tracheal epithelium related to smoking, and to provide evidence for a tuft ...

Simulation study and comparative evaluation of viral contiguous sequence identification tools
BMC Bioinformatics, 2021 Background Viruses, including bacteriophages, are important components of environmental and human associated microbial communities. Viruses can act as extracellular reservoirs of bacterial genes, can mediate microbiome dynamics, and can influence the ...

Analysis of Gene‐Gene Interactions [PDF]
Current Protocols in Human Genetics, 2011 AbstractThe goal of this unit is to introduce gene‐gene interactions (epistasis) as a significant complicating factor in the search for disease susceptibility genes. This unit begins with an overview of gene‐gene interactions and why they are likely to be common.

GEIRA: gene-environment and gene–gene interaction research application [PDF]
European Journal of Epidemiology, 2011 The GEIRA (Gene-Environment and Gene-Gene Interaction Research Application) algorithm and subsequent program is dedicated to genome-wide gene-environment and gene-gene interaction analysis. It implements concepts of both additive and multiplicative interaction as well as calculations based on dominant, recessive and co-dominant genetic models ...

Omnibus testing approach for gene‐based gene‐gene interaction
Statistics in Medicine, 2022 AbstractGenetic interaction is considered as one of the main heritable component of complex traits. With the emergence of genome‐wide association studies (GWAS), a collection of statistical methods dedicated to the identification of interaction at the SNP level have been proposed.

Gene Complexity and Gene Duplicability [PDF]
Current Biology, 2005 Eukaryotic genes are on average more complex than prokaryotic genes in terms of expression regulation, protein length, and protein-domain structure [1-5]. Eukaryotes are also known to have a higher rate of gene duplication than prokaryotes do [6, 7]. Because gene duplication is the primary source of new genes [], the average gene complexity in a genome

SLC38A6 expression in macrophages exacerbates pulmonary inflammation
Respiratory Research, 2023 Pulmonary inflammation involves complex changes of the immune cells, in which macrophages play important roles and their function might be influenced by metabolism. Slc38a6 acts as a carrier of nutrient for macrophages (Mφ) to exert the function. In this
