Variant Prioritization by Pedigree-Based Haplotyping. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Whole genome sequence (WGS) data provides opportunities for comprehensive evaluation of variants that may influence complex traits. However, prioritizing the large number of variants, particularly those in non‐coding regions, is a challenge.

Endosomal trafficking and related genetic underpinnings as a hub in Alzheimer's disease. [PDF]
Abstract Genetic studies support the amyloid cascade as the leading hypothesis for the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Although significant efforts have been made in untangling the amyloid and other pathological events in AD, ongoing interventions for AD have not been revealed efficacious for slowing down disease progression.

On asymptotically Wijsman lacunary statistical convergence of set sequences in ideal context
In this paper, we introduce some definitions which are natural combination of the notions of asymptotic equivalence, statistical convergence, lacunary statistical convergence, Wijsman convergence and ideal. In addition, we also define the concept of asymptotically equivalent sequences of sets in the sense ofWijsman convergence and prove ...

Experiences of metastatic prostate cancer patients with a mainstream genetic testing pathway. [PDF]
What's new? Germline genetic testing can direct cancer patients towards more optimal treatment options and relatives towards targeted cancer screening or preventive measures. In the case of prostate cancer, many patients are eligible for such testing, though little is known about its psychosocial impacts.

Detecting Convergence of Amino Acid Physicochemical Properties Underlying the Organismal Adaptive Convergent Evolution. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Many studies have proposed various comparative genomic methods to probe the molecular basis for adaptive functional convergence between species, conventionally by detecting the convergence of amino acid states between orthologous protein sequences of these species or lineages.

Wijsman Rough λ Statistical Convergence of Order α of Triple Sequence of Functions
In this paper, using the concept of natural density, we introduce the notion of Wijsman rough λ statistical convergence of order α triple sequence of functions. We define the set of Wijsman rough λ statistical convergence of order α of limit points of a triple sequence spaces of functions and obtain Wijsman λ statistical convergence of order α criteria

Integrative multi-omics approaches identify molecular pathways and improve Alzheimer's disease risk prediction. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder with heterogeneous genetic and molecular underpinnings. Polygenic scores (PGS) capture little of this complexity. METHODS We conducted genome‐, transcriptome‐, and proteome‐wide association studies (G/T/PWAS) on 15,480 individuals from the Alzheimer's Disease ...

How do microtine rodent abundance, snow and landscape parameters influence pine marten Martes martes population dynamics? [PDF]
We found that pine marten populations were directly density dependent in Hedmark, Norway. Additionally, pine marten abundance was positively correlated with a microtine rodent abundance index, elevation, snow depth and mature spruce forests. Their annual population growth rate was positively influenced by the interaction between the microtine rodent ...

LD-informed deep learning for Alzheimer's gene loci detection using WGS data. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION The exponential growth of genomic datasets necessitates advanced analytical tools to effectively identify genetic loci from large‐scale high throughput sequencing data. This study presents Deep‐Block, a multi‐stage deep learning framework that incorporates biological knowledge into its AI architecture to identify genetic regions ...

Midkine promotes PDGF-BB-induced proliferation, migration, and glycolysis of airway smooth muscle cells via the PI3K Akt pathway. [PDF]
Abstract Airway smooth muscle cell (ASMC) dysfunction drives airway remodeling in asthma, yet the molecular mediators remain incompletely defined. Midkine, a pleiotropic growth factor, has emerged as a potential regulator of inflammatory and proliferative responses.
