Rubbish DNA: The functionless fraction of the human genome [PDF]
Because genomes are products of natural processes rather than intelligent design, all genomes contain functional and nonfunctional parts. The fraction of the genome that has no biological function is called rubbish DNA. Rubbish DNA consists of junk DNA, i.e., the fraction of the genome on which selection does not operate, and garbage DNA, i.e ...

The LEXOVE prospective study evaluated plasma cell‐free extracellular vesicle (cfEV) dynamics using Bradford assay and dynamic light scattering in metastatic non‐small cell lung cancer patients undergoing first‐line treatments, correlating a ∆cfEV < 20% with improved median progression‐free survival in responders versus non‐responders.

Genome Architecture and Its Roles in Human Copy Number Variation [PDF]
Besides single-nucleotide variants in the human genome, large-scale genomic variants, such as copy number variations (CNVs), are being increasingly discovered as a genetic source of human diversity and the pathogenic factors of diseases.

In Silico Genome-Genome Hybridization Values Accurately and Precisely Predict Empirical DNA-DNA Hybridization Values for Classifying Prokaryotes [PDF]
For nearly 50 years microbiologists have been determining prokaryotic genome relatedness by means of nucleic acid reassociation kinetics. These methods, however, are technically challenging, difficult to reproduce, and - given the time and resources it takes to generate a single data-point - not cost effective. In the post genomic era, with the cost of

FPGA Acceleration of Sequence Alignment: A Survey [PDF]
Genomics is changing our understanding of humans, evolution, diseases, and medicines to name but a few. As sequencing technology is developed collecting DNA sequences takes less time thereby generating more genetic data every day. Today the rate of generating genetic data is outpacing the rate of computation power growth.

We quantified and cultured circulating tumor cells (CTCs) of 62 patients with various cancer types and generated CTC‐derived tumoroid models from two salivary gland cancer patients. Cellular liquid biopsy‐derived information enabled molecular genetic assessment of systemic disease heterogeneity and functional testing for therapy selection in both ...

DNA insertion mutations can be predicted by a periodic probability function [PDF]
It is generally difficult to predict the positions of mutations in genomic DNA at the nucleotide level. Retroviral DNA insertion is one mode of mutation, resulting in host infections that are difficult to treat. This mutation process involves the integration of retroviral DNA into the host-infected cellular genomic DNA following the interaction between
