Noncoding RNAs in Host–Microbiota Interaction
The intricate interplay between gut microbiota and the host exerts a profound impact on host biological processes and disease development. This review highlights the pivotal role of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) in this interaction. Host ncRNAs regulate gene expression and microbiota composition, whereas microbial small RNAs (sRNAs) modulate host gene ...

Long-Tail Feature of DNA Words Over- and Under-Representation in Coding Sequences [PDF]
We have analyzed DNA sequences of known genes from 16 yeast chromosomes (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) in terms of oligonucleotides. We have noticed that the relative abundances of oligonucleotide usage in the genome follow a long-tail Levy-like distribution.

A new formalism for calculation of the partition function of single stranded nucleic acids [PDF]
A new formalism for calculation of the partition function of single stranded nucleic acids is presented. Secondary structures and the topology of structure elements are the level of resolution that is used. The folding model deals with matches, mismatches, symmetric and asymmetric interior loops, stacked pairs in loop and dangling end regions, multi ...

ABSTRACT Background Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is associated with increased cardiovascular risk, but its influence on plaque characteristics at optical coherence tomography (OCT) evaluation is not fully understood. Aims This study seeks to explore the impact of Lp(a) levels on plaque morphology as assessed by OCT in a very high‐risk subset of patients ...

Hybridization to surface-bound oligonucleotide probes: Influence of point defects [PDF]
Microarray-based genotyping is based on the high discrimination capability of oligonucleotide probes. For detection of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) single-base discrimination is required. We investigate how various point-mutations, comprising single base mismatches (MMs), insertions and deletions, affect hybridization of DNA-DNA ...

Hallmarks of Neuroblastoma—Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Therapeutic Interventions
ABSTRACT Neuroblastoma, the most common extracranial solid tumor in childhood, continues to challenge clinicians and researchers because of its heterogeneous nature and complex pathophysiology. Recent breakthroughs in molecular profiling revealed intricate genetic alterations driving tumor progression, necessitating an updated perspective on the ...

Power-law Signatures and Patchiness in Genechip Oligonucleotide Microarrays [PDF]
. Genechip oligonucleotide microarrays have been used widely for transcriptional profiling of a large number of genes in a given paradigm. Gene expression estimation precedes biological inference and is given as a complex combination of atomic entities on the array called probes.
