Transcript profiling of structural genes involved in cyanidin-based anthocyanin biosynthesis between purple and non-purple carrot (Daucus carota L.) cultivars reveals distinct patterns

BMC Plant Biology, 2014
BackgroundCarrots (Daucus carota L.) are among the 10 most economically important vegetable crops grown worldwide. Purple carrot cultivars accumulate rich cyanidin-based anthocyanins in a light-independent manner in their taproots whereas other carrot ...

Structural Alignment of RNAs Using Profile-csHMMs and Its Application to RNA Homology Search: Overview and New Results [PDF]

, 2008
Systematic research on noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) has revealed that many ncRNAs are actively involved in various biological networks. Therefore, in order to fully understand the mechanisms of these networks, it is crucial to understand the roles of ncRNAs ...

Rare Structural Variants Disrupt Multiple Genes in Neurodevelopmental Pathways in Schizophrenia

Science, 2008
Schizophrenia is a devastating neurodevelopmental disorder whose genetic influences remain elusive. We hypothesize that individually rare structural variants contribute to the illness.

Structural cells are key regulators of organ-specific immune response

Nature, 2020
The mammalian immune system implements a remarkably effective set of mechanisms for fighting pathogens1. Its main components are haematopoietic immune cells, including myeloid cells that control innate immunity, and lymphoid cells that constitute ...

Evolution of genes and repeats in the Nimrod superfamily [PDF]

, 2008
The recently identified Nimrod superfamily is characterized by the presence of a special type of EGF repeat, the NIM repeat, located right after a typical CCXGY/W amino acid motif.

THE BIOSYNTHESIS REGULATION OF POTATO STEROIDAL GLYCOALKALOIDS

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2018
Potato steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) compose a part of plant immunity. Some of their modified variants are toxic to humans. In the course of potato domestication, plants with a lower SGA level were selected.

Complete Nucleotide Analysis of the Structural Genome of the Infectious Bronchitis Virus Strain Md27 Reveals its Mosaic Nature

Viruses, 2009
Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) causes highly contagious respiratory or urogenital tract diseases in chickens. The Maryland 27(Md27) strain was first isolated in 1976 from diseased chicken flocks in the Delmarva Peninsula region.

Detecting key structural features within highly recombined genes. [PDF]

PLoS Computational Biology, 2007
Many microorganisms exhibit high levels of intragenic recombination following horizontal gene transfer events. Furthermore, many microbial genes are subject to strong diversifying selection as part of the pathogenic process. A multiple sequence alignment
