Genomic predictions under different genetic architectures are impacted by mating designs

Veterinary and Animal Science
Mating in animal communities must be managed in a way that assures the performance increase in the progenies without increasing the rate of inbreeding. It has currently become possible to identify millions of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and ...

A quantitative account of genomic island acquisitions in prokaryotes [PDF]

, 2011
Background Microbial genomes do not merely evolve through the slow accumulation of mutations, but also, and often more dramatically, by taking up new DNA in a process called horizontal gene transfer.

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

The heterodimeric amino acid transporters (HAT) of the SLC7/SLC3 family: A structure−function relationships and relevance to human pathology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.

Enhancing Genomic Prediction Accuracy in Beef Cattle Using WMGBLUP and SNP Pre-Selection

Agriculture
Genomic selection (GS) plays a crucial role in livestock breeding. However, its implementation in Chinese beef cattle breeding is constrained by a limited reference population and incomplete data records.

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

Survival prediction from clinico-genomic models - a comparative study

BMC Bioinformatics, 2009
Background Survival prediction from high-dimensional genomic data is an active field in today's medical research. Most of the proposed prediction methods make use of genomic data alone without considering established clinical covariates that often are ...
