Serum butyrylcholinesterase in type 2 diabetes mellitus: a biochemical and bioinformatics approach

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2005
Background Butyrylcholinesterase is an enzyme that may serve as a marker of metabolic syndrome. We (a) measured its level in persons with diabetes mellitus, (b) constructed a family tree of the enzyme using nucleotide sequences downloaded from NCBI ...

Cumulative Antigen Suppression Reduces Clonal Plasma Cell Evolution in Gaucher Disease

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chronic antigenic stimulation is implicated in the pathogenesis of monoclonal gammopathy and multiple myeloma, yet longitudinal human evidence linking sustained antigen exposure to modifiable clonal plasma cell evolution remains limited. Gaucher disease (GD), caused by biallelic GBA1 pathogenic variants, is characterized by accumulation of ...

Inferring Pareto-optimal reconciliations across multiple event costs under the duplication-loss-coalescence model

BMC Bioinformatics, 2019
Background Reconciliation methods are widely used to explain incongruence between a gene tree and species tree. However, the common approach of inferring maximum parsimony reconciliations (MPRs) relies on user-defined costs for each type of event, which ...

A survey of current software for haplotype phase inference

Human Genomics, 2004
In the past two years, tracking the explosion in data due to ever-improving single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) maps and cheaper high-throughput genotyping technologies, a bewildering array of new algorithms and relevant software have appeared for ...

Public Attitudes Toward Compassionate Release of Older People From Prison: Findings From a National Survey in Australia

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid increase in older people in prison populations worldwide is generating significant health, cost, and human rights pressures on custodial systems. Compassionate release for older, frail inmates is a potentially effective response, yet little is known about public support for this approach.

Phylogenetic relationships in Solanaceae and related species based on cpDNA sequence from plastid trn EtrnT region

Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2008
Intergenic spacers of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) are very useful in phylogenetic and population genetic studies of plant species, to study their potential integration in phylogenetic analysis. The non-coding trnE-trnT intergenic spacer of cpDNA was analyzed

On the Complexity of Parameterized Local Search for the Maximum Parsimony Problem.

, 2023
Maximum Parsimony is the problem of computing a most parsimonious phylogenetic tree for a taxa set X from character data for X. A common strategy to attack this notoriously hard problem is to perform a local search over the phylogenetic tree space. Here, one is given a phylogenetic tree T and wants to find a more parsimonious tree in the neighborhood ...

Sociodemographic Factors Associated with Hours Worked by Primary Carers in Australia

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Primary caregivers constitute a major unpaid workforce in Australia. The aim of this study was to determine the sociodemographic factors that are associated with carer workloads. Multinomial logistic regression modelling was applied to the nation‐wide Australian Government survey.

A method for constructing maximum parsimony ancestral amino acid sequences on a given network

, 1973
A solution is presented for the problem of how to find ancestral codons which minimize the number of mutations over a given network of species for which character-states of aligned amino acid sequences among the contemporary species are known.
