In Silico Analysis of Huntingtin Homologs in Lower Eukaryotes [PDF]
Huntington’s disease is a rare neurodegenerative and autosomal dominant disorder. HD is caused by a mutation in the gene coding for huntingtin (Htt). The result is the production of a mutant Htt with an abnormally long polyglutamine repeat that leads to pathological Htt aggregates.

Characterization of pinctada fucata mantle gene 2 (pfmg2) in pearl oyster
Biomineralization is a complicated process which involves multiple gene products in Pinctada fucata. Here, Pinctada fucata mantle gene 2 (pfmg2) was characterized in P. fucata. The putative PFMG2 protein has a Calponin Homology (CH) domain and an EF hand

In silico Analysis of qBFR4 and qLBL5 in Conferring Quantitative Resistance Against Rice Blast
The devastating yield losses caused by rice blast can be mitigated by breeding resistant cultivars with QTLs enriched with resistance (R-gene) and defence related genes. These genes are the arsenal of the plant’s immune system against pathogen invasion.

Variable predicted pathogenic mechanisms for novel MECP2 variants in RTT patients
Background Methyl CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2) is essential for the normal function of mature neurons. Mutations in the MECP2 gene are the main cause of Rett syndrome (RTT). Gene mutations have been identified throughout the gene and the mutation effect

In Silico Analysis of the Immunological Landscape of Pituitary Adenomas
Immunotherapy has gained traction in the treatment of solid tumors but the immunological landscape of pituitary adenomas is not well defined. We sought to investigate the immunological composition in pituitary adenomas using RNA deconvolution (CIBERSORTx) on an existing gene expression dataset for pituitary adenomas.We applied an established ...

In silico characterization of coding and non-coding SNPs of the androgen receptor gene
The Androgen Receptor (AR), an important ligand-dependent nuclear transcription factor, encoded by the AR gene, functions in regulating the cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis pathways. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of AR have

In silico analysis of Eucalyptus thioredoxins [PDF]
The Eucalyptus Genome Sequencing Project (FORESTs), an initiative from the Brazilian ONSA consortium (Organization for Nucleotide Sequencing and Analysis), has achieved the sequencing of 123.889 EST clones from 18 different cDNA libraries. We have investigated the FORESTs data set to identify EST clusters potentially encoding thioredoxins (TRX).
