Abstract Nucleic acids are the blueprint of life. They are not only the construction plan of the single cell or higher associations of them, but also necessary for function, communication and regulation. Due to the pandemic, the attention shifted in particular to their therapeutic potential as a vaccine. As pharmaceutical oligonucleotides are unique in

Predicting Anti-microbial Resistance using Large Language Models [PDF]
During times of increasing antibiotic resistance and the spread of infectious diseases like COVID-19, it is important to classify genes related to antibiotic resistance. As natural language processing has advanced with transformer-based language models, many language models that learn characteristics of nucleotide sequences have also emerged.

DNA–Protein Binding is Dominated by Short Anchoring Elements
This study delineate the binding mechanism of transcription factors (TFs) in the genome with the knowledge obtained at thermodynamic equilibrium conditions. Through KaScape experiments, combined with the AEEscape algorithm development, they identified the minimal dominant interacting elements, termed as Anchoring Elements (AEs).

Mitofusin 1 Drives Preimplantation Development by Enhancing Chromatin Incorporation of Histone H3.3
MFN1 exerts its function partially through histone H3.3 in early embryos. MFN1 colocalizes with PADI6, and its deficiency results in compromised cytoplasmic lattices and ribosomal subunits, leading to declined H3.3 protein level. This, in turn, hinders the incorporation of H3.3 into the embryonic genome, thereby causing failure of male pronucleus ...

NASCUP: Nucleic Acid Sequence Classification by Universal Probability [PDF]
Motivated by the need for fast and accurate classification of unlabeled nucleotide sequences on a large scale, we developed NASCUP, a new classification method that captures statistical structures of nucleotide sequences by compact context-tree models and universal probability from information theory.

This study presents a comprehensive multi‐omics framework to uncover cell‐type‐specific regulatory networks in plant drought responses. By integrating transcriptomic, proteomic, and epigenetic data from nearly 30 000 samples, key regulators such as CIPK23 and NLP7 are identified, revealing insights into conserved drought tolerance mechanisms and ...

RAB3B Dictates mTORC1/S6 Signaling in Chordoma and Predicts Response to mTORC1‐Targeted Therapy
RAB3B is unveiled as a prominent oncogenic regulator in chordoma, which can block the DUSP12‐mediated dephosphorylation of p‐S6 (S235/236). The combination of RAB3B and p‐S6 indicates a good prognostic value and predicts mTORC1 inhibitors response for chordoma patients.
