Homologous and unique G protein alpha subunits in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
A cDNA corresponding to a known G protein alpha subunit, the alpha subunit of Go (Go alpha), was isolated and sequenced. The predicted amino acid sequence of C. elegans Go alpha is 80-87% identical to other Go alpha sequences.

Intron‐dependent evolution: Preferred types of exons and introns [PDF]
Exon insertions and exon duplications, two major mechanisms of exon shuffling, are shown to involve modules that have introns of the same phase class at both their 5′‐ and 3′‐ends. At the sites of intronic recombinations exon insertions and duplications create new introns which belong to the same phase class as the recipient introns.

Translating Muscle RNAseq Into the Clinic for the Diagnosis of Muscle Diseases
ABSTRACT Objective Approximately half of patients with hereditary myopathies remain without a definitive genetic diagnosis after DNA next‐generation sequencing (NGS). Here, we implemented transcriptome analysis of muscle biopsies as a complementary diagnostic tool for patients with muscle disease but no definitive genetic diagnosis after exome ...

Nuclear group I introns in self-splicing and beyond
Group I introns are a distinct class of RNA self-splicing introns with an ancient origin. All known group I introns present in eukaryote nuclei interrupt functional ribosomal RNA genes located in ribosomal DNA loci.

Molecular dynamics simulations are advancing the study of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and RNA‐conjugated molecules. These developments include improvements in force fields, long‐timescale dynamics, and coarse‐grained models, addressing limitations and refining methods.

Background It is widely accepted that the last eukaryotic common ancestor and early eukaryotes were intron-rich and intron loss dominated subsequent evolution, thus the presence of only very few introns in some modern eukaryotes must be the consequence ...

Complex Morlet Wavelet Analysis of the DNA Frequency Chaos Game Signal and Revealing Specific Motifs of Introns in C.elegans [PDF]
Nowadays, studying introns is becoming a very promising field in the genomics. Even though they play a role in the dynamic regulation of gene and in the organism's evolution, introns have not attracted enough attention like exons did; especially of digital signal processing researchers. Thus, we focus on analysis of the C.elegans introns. In this paper,

Mobile genetic elements in Clostridium difficile and their role in genome function. [PDF]
Approximately 11% the Clostridium difficile genome is made up of mobile genetic elements which have a profound effect on the biology of the organism. This includes transfer of antibiotic resistance and other factors that allow the organism to survive ...

A dual‐functional hafnium oxide nanoplatform is developed for enhanced cancer radiotherapy. This innovative system combines the inherent radiosensitizing properties of high‐Z hafnium oxide with Bcl‐2 gene‐silencing capabilities. The nanoplatform demonstrated synergistic enhancement of radiotherapy efficacy through increased generation of reactive ...
