Background The SOS response is an almost ubiquitous response of cells to genotoxic stresses. The full complement of genes in the SOS regulon for Vibrio species has only been addressed through bioinformatic analyses predicting LexA binding box consensus ...

TROM: A Testing-based Method for Finding Transcriptomic Similarity of Biological Samples [PDF]
Comparative transcriptomics has gained increasing popularity in genomic research thanks to the development of high-throughput technologies including microarray and next-generation RNA sequencing that have generated numerous transcriptomic data. An important question is to understand the conservation and differentiation of biological processes in ...

Comparative analysis of viral RNA signatures on different RIG-I-like receptors
The RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) play a major role in sensing RNA virus infection to initiate and modulate antiviral immunity. They interact with particular viral RNAs, most of them being still unknown.

The spread of SARS-CoV-2 and the resulting disease COVID-19 has killed over 2.6 million people as of 18 March 2021. We have used a modified susceptible, infected, recovered (SIR) epidemiological model to predict how the spread of the virus in regions of ...

SERpredict: Detection of tissue- or tumor-specific isoforms generated through exonization of transposable elements [PDF]
Background: Transposed elements (TEs) are known to affect transcriptomes, because either new exons are generated from intronic transposed elements (this is called exonization), or the element inserts into the exon, leading to a new transcript. Several examples in the literature show that isoforms generated by an exonization are specific to a certain ...

Comparison between the amount of environmental change and the amount of transcriptome change [PDF]
Cells must coordinate adjustments in genome expression to accommodate changes in their environment. We hypothesized that the amount of transcriptome change is proportional to the amount of environmental change. To capture the effects of environmental changes on the transcriptome, we compared transcriptome diversities (defined as the Shannon entropy of ...

Cellular liberality is measurable as Lempel-Ziv complexity of fastq files [PDF]
Many studies used the Shannon entropy of transcriptome data to determine cell dedifferentiation and differentiation. The collection of evidence has strengthened the certainty that the transcriptome's Shannon entropy may be used to quantify cellular dedifferentiation and differentiation.

Macromolecular crowding links ribosomal protein gene dosage to growth rate in Vibrio cholerae
Background In fast-growing bacteria, the genomic location of ribosomal protein (RP) genes is biased towards the replication origin (oriC). This trait allows optimizing their expression during exponential phase since oriC neighboring regions are in higher

The Intestinal Microbiota Interferes with the microRNA Response upon Oral
The intestinal tract is the largest reservoir of microbes in the human body. The intestinal microbiota is thought to be able to modulate alterations of the gut induced by enteropathogens, thereby maintaining homeostasis.
