Causal Discovery for Gene Regulatory Network Prediction [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Biological systems and processes are networks of complex nonlinear regulatory interactions between nucleic acids, proteins, and metabolites. A natural way in which to represent these interaction networks is through the use of a graph. In this formulation, each node represents a nucleic acid, protein, or metabolite and edges represent intermolecular ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Interaction extracellular vesicles (iEVs) are hybrid vesicles formed through host‐pathogen communication. They facilitate immune evasion, transfer pathogens' molecules, increase host cell uptake, and enhance virulence. This Perspective article illustrates the multifunctional roles of iEVs and highlights their emerging relevance in infection dynamics ...

Mesoscopic modeling for nucleic acid chain dynamics [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E, 71 art. num. 051902 (2005), 2005 To gain a deeper insight into cellular processes such as transcription and translation, one needs to uncover the mechanisms controlling the configurational changes of nucleic acids. As a step toward this aim, we present here a novel mesoscopic-level computational model that provides a new window into nucleic acid dynamics.

ACS Synthetic Biology, 2019 The next-generation CRISPR-based molecular diagnostics has the merits of rapidness, accuracy and portability. We ever discovered the Cas12a trans-cleavage activity against collateral single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and employed the activity to develop a ...

Evolutionary interplay between viruses and R‐loops
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Viruses interact with specialized nucleic acid structures called R‐loops to influence host transcription, epigenetic states, latency, and immune evasion. This Perspective examines the roles of R‐loops in viral replication, integration, and silencing, and how viruses co‐opt or avoid these structures.

Halogen Bonding in Nucleic Acid Complexes [PDF]
, 2017 Halogen bonding (X-bonding) has attracted notable attention among noncovalent interactions. This highly directional attraction between a halogen atom and an electron donor has been exploited in knowledge-based drug design. A great deal of information has been gathered about X-bonds in protein-ligand complexes, as opposed to nucleic acid complexes. Here

Transferrin-polycation conjugates as carriers for DNA uptake into cells. [PDF]
, 1990 We have developed a high-efficiency nucleic acid delivery system that uses receptor-mediated endocytosis to carry DNA macromolecules into cells. We accomplished this by conjugating the iron-transport protein transferrin to polycations that bind nucleic ...

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 1995 The use of nucleic acid-based vaccines is a novel approach to immunization that elicits immune responses similar to those induced by live, attenuated vaccines. Administration of nucleic acid vaccines results in the endogenous generation of viral proteins with native conformation, glycosylation profiles, and other posttranslational modifications that ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Urine is a rich source of biomarkers for cancer detection. Tumor‐derived material is released into the bloodstream and transported to the urine. Urine can easily be collected from individuals, allowing non‐invasive cancer detection. This review discusses the rationale behind urine‐based cancer detection and its potential for cancer diagnostics ...

DNA replication initiation drives focal mutagenesis and rearrangements in human cancers
Nature CommunicationsThe rate and pattern of mutagenesis in cancer genomes is significantly influenced by DNA accessibility and active biological processes. Here we show that efficient sites of replication initiation drive and modulate specific mutational processes in cancer.
