Pairwise alignment of the DNA sequence using hypercomplex number representation [PDF]

Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, Vol. 66, No. 5, pp. 1423-1438, 2004, 2014
A new set of DNA base-nucleic acid codes and their hypercomplex number representation have been introduced for taking the probability of each nucleotide into full account. A new scoring system has been proposed to suit the hypercomplex number representation of the DNA base-nucleic acid codes and incorporated with the method of dot matrix analysis and ...

Refining the NaV1.7 pharmacophore of a class of venom‐derived peptide inhibitors via a combination of in silico screening and rational engineering

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Venom peptides have shown promise in treating pain. Our study uses computer screening to identify a peptide that targets a sodium channel (NaV1.7) linked to chronic pain. We produced the peptide in the laboratory and refined its design, advancing the search for innovative pain therapies.

Identification of novel small molecule inhibitors of ETS transcription factors

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
ETS transcription factors play an essential role in tumourigenesis and are indispensable for sprouting angiogenesis, a hallmark of cancer, which fuels tumour expansion and dissemination. Thus, targeting ETS transcription factor function could represent an effective, multifaceted strategy to block tumour growth. The evolutionarily conserved E‐Twenty‐Six

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae amino acid transporter Lyp1 has a broad substrate spectrum

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Yeast Amino acid Transporter family members mediate the import of amino acids, ranging from substrate specialists to generalists. Here, we show that the specialist transporter, Lyp1, has a broader substrate spectrum than previously described, with affinity constants spanning from micromolar to millimolar.

Some mathematical problems in genetics

Lietuvos Matematikos Rinkinys, 2007
After an introduction to genetic basics three problems are briefly discussed: microarray data analysis, a definition of noninformative DNA sequence, and genetic sequence alignment. More atention is paid to DNA sequence visualization and regularization of

A conserved sequence extending motif III of the motor domain in the Snf2-family DNA translocase Rad54 is critical for ATPase activity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Rad54 is a dsDNA-dependent ATPase that translocates on duplex DNA. Its ATPase function is essential for homologous recombination, a pathway critical for meiotic chromosome segregation, repair of complex DNA damage, and recovery of stalled or broken ...

Multifractal analysis of DNA walks and trails [PDF]

, 2002
The characterization of the long-range order and fractal properties of DNA sequences has proved a difficult though highly rewarding task due mainly to the mosaic character of DNA consisting of many interwoven patches of various lengths with different nucleotide constitutions. We apply here a recently proposed generalization of the detrended fluctuation

Microcomputer programs for DNA sequence analysis [PDF]

Nucleic Acids Research, 1982
Computer programs are described which allow (a) analysis of DNA sequences to be performed on a laboratory microcomputer or (b) transfer of DNA sequences between a laboratory microcomputer and another computer system, such as a DNA library. The sequence analysis programs are interactive, do not require prior experience with computers and in many other ...

Unlocking the potential of tumor‐derived DNA in urine for cancer detection: methodological challenges and opportunities

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 ...
