Possible role of human ribonuclease dicer in the regulation of R loops
R loops play an important role in regulating key cellular processes such as replication, transcription, centromere stabilization, or control of telomere length. However, the unscheduled accumulation of R loops can cause many diseases, including cancer, and neurodegenerative or inflammatory disorders. Interestingly, accumulating data indicate a possible

Population genomic analysis of base composition evolution in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
The relative importance of mutation, selection, and biased gene conversion to patterns of base composition variation in Drosophila melanogaster, and to a lesser extent, D. simulans, has been investigated for many years.

Genetic diversity and population structure of the Taigan dog breed
The Taigan is a rare sighthound from the mountains of Kyrgyzstan. We used DNA markers to study its genetic diversity and compare it with other sighthound breeds. Our findings show that the Taigan shares close genetic ties with the Kazakh Tazy, suggesting a common ancestry shaped by nomadic traditions and regional adaptation.

Central role for the XRCC1 BRCT I domain in mammalian DNA single-strand break repair [PDF]
The DNA single-strand break repair (SSBR) protein XRCC1 is required for genetic stability and for embryonic viability. XRCC1 possesses two BRCA1 carboxyl-terminal (BRCT) protein interaction domains, denoted BRCT I and II.

Mitochondrial DNA disorders in neuromuscular diseases in diverse populations
Abstract Neuromuscular features are common in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) disorders. The genetic architecture of mtDNA disorders in diverse populations is poorly understood. We analysed mtDNA variants from whole‐exome sequencing data in neuromuscular patients from South Africa, Brazil, India, Turkey and Zambia. In 998 individuals, there were two definite

Killing them softly:managing pathogen polymorphism and virulence in spatially variable environments [PDF]
Understanding why pathogen populations are genetically variable is vital because genetic variation fuels evolution, which often hampers disease control efforts.

Coffee Consumption Is Associated With Later Age‐at‐Onset of Parkinson's Disease
ABSTRACT Observation studies suggest that coffee consumption may lower the risk and delay the age‐at‐onset (AAO) of Parkinson's disease (PD). The aim of this study was to explore the causal relationship and genetic association between coffee consumption and the AAO, risk, and progression of PD. Using Mendelian randomization, we identified a significant

Role of ABCB1 C3435T variant in response to antiepileptic drugs in epilepsy: a review [PDF]
Over-expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), the encoded product of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC), sub-family B, member 1 (ABCB1/MDR1) gene, plays an important role in mediating multidrug resistance to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) in about 30% of patients ...

Factors for Rituximab Refractoriness in AQP4‐IgG+ NMOSD: A Cohort Study
ABSTRACT Objective Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a severe autoimmune condition of the central nervous system (CNS), often associated with aquaporin‐4 antibodies (AQP4‐IgG). Rituximab, a CD20+ B‐cell depleting monoclonal antibody, is widely used as first‐line therapy.
