Overexpression of a Prefoldin β subunit gene reduces biomass recalcitrance in the bioenergy crop Populus. [PDF]
Prefoldin (PFD) is a group II chaperonin that is ubiquitously present in the eukaryotic kingdom. Six subunits (PFD1-6) form a jellyfish-like heterohexameric PFD complex and function in protein folding and cytoskeleton organization.

Hub-Centered Gene Network Reconstruction Using Automatic Relevance Determination
Network inference deals with the reconstruction of biological networks from experimental data. A variety of different reverse engineering techniques are available; they differ in the underlying assumptions and mathematical models used. One common problem for all approaches stems from the complexity of the task, due to the combinatorial explosion of ...

Study of Osteoarthritis‐Related Hub Genes Based on Bioinformatics Analysis [PDF]
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common cause of morbidity and disability worldwide. However, the pathogenesis of OA is unclear. Therefore, this study was conducted to characterize the pathogenesis and implicated genes of OA. The gene expression profiles of GSE82107 and GSE55235 were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database.
