Statistically Significant Strings are Related to Regulatory Elements in the Promoter Regions of Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
, 2000 Finding out statistically significant words in DNA and protein sequences forms the basis for many genetic studies. By applying the maximal entropy principle, we give one systematic way to study the nonrandom occurrence of words in DNA or protein ...

Interaction between non-coding RNAs, mRNAs and G-quadruplexes
Cancer Cell International, 2022 G-quadruplexes are secondary helical configurations established between guanine-rich nucleic acids. The structure is seen in the promoter regions of numerous genes under certain situations.

Screening of the transcriptional regulatory regions of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [PDF]
, 2007 Background Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has neurotrophic activity which is mediated by its main agonist receptor, VEGFR2. Dysregulation of VEGF causes motor neurone degeneration in a mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and

Disparities in allele frequencies and population differentiation for 101 disease-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms between Puerto Ricans and Non-Hispanic Whites [PDF]
, 2009 BACKGROUND. Variations in gene allele frequencies can contribute to differences in the prevalence of some common complex diseases among populations. Natural selection modulates the balance in allele frequencies across populations.

Epigenetic transgenerational actions of vinclozolin on promoter regions of the sperm epigenome.
PLoS ONE, 2010 Previous observations have demonstrated that embryonic exposure to the endocrine disruptor vinclozolin during gonadal sex determination promotes transgenerational adult onset disease such as male infertility, kidney disease, prostate disease, immune ...

Genetic Alteration of p16INKA4A Promoter Region in Endometrial Carcinoma
Korean Journal of Gynecologic Oncology, 2005 Objective : This study was performed to evaluate the status of p16 tumor suppressor gene in 25 endometrial carcinomas (ECs) and to correlate the loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at p16 locus, the presence of inactivating mutations, the methylation status of the promotor, and the expression of p16 protein with clinicopathological parameters.
