CAIcal: A combined set of tools to assess codon usage adaptationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 3 - Trang 1-8 - 2008
Pere Puigbò, Ignacio G Bravo, Santiago Garcia-Vallve
The Codon Adaptation Index (CAI) was first developed to measure the synonymous
codon usage bias for a DNA or RNA sequence. The CAI quantifies the similarity
between the synonymous codon usage of a gene and the synonymous codon frequency
of a reference set. We describe here CAIcal, a web-server available at
http://genomes.urv.es/CAIcal that includes a complete set of utilities related
with the CAI.... hiện toàn bộ
CRISPR transcript processing: a mechanism for generating a large number of small interfering RNAsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 1-11 - 2012
Marko Djordjevic, Magdalena Djordjevic, Konstantin Severinov
CRISPR/Cas (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats/CRISPR
associated sequences) is a recently discovered prokaryotic defense system
against foreign DNA, including viruses and plasmids. CRISPR cassette is
transcribed as a continuous transcript (pre-crRNA), which is processed by Cas
proteins into small RNA molecules (crRNAs) that are responsible for defense
against invading viruse... hiện toàn bộ
Relating underrepresented genomic DNA patterns and tiRNAs: the rule behind the observation and beyondSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 1-16 - 2010
Miklos Cserzo, Gabor Turu, Peter Varnai, Laszlo Hunyady
One of the central problems of post-genomic biology is the understanding of
regulatory network of genes. Traditionally the problem is approached from the
protein-DNA interaction perspective. In recent years various types of noncoding
RNAs appeared on the scene as new potent players of the game. The exact role of
these molecules in gene expression control is mostly unknown at present, while
their i... hiện toàn bộ
A new family of hybrid virophages from an animal gut metagenomeSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 1-9 - 2015
Natalya Yutin, Vladimir V Kapitonov, Eugene V Koonin
Search of metagenomics sequence databases for homologs of virophage capsid
proteins resulted in the discovery of a new family of virophages in the sheep
rumen metagenome. The genomes of the rumen virophages (RVP) encode a typical
virophage major capsid protein, ATPase and protease combined with a
Polinton-type, protein primed family B DNA polymerase. The RVP genomes appear to
be linear molecules, ... hiện toàn bộ
Consequences of cell-to-cell P-glycoprotein transfer on acquired multidrug resistance in breast cancer: a cell population dynamics modelSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 6 Số 1 - Trang 1-18 - 2011
Pasquier, Jennifer, Magal, Pierre, Boulangé-Lecomte, Céline, Webb, Glenn, Le Foll, Frank
Cancer is a proliferation disease affecting a genetically unstable cell
population, in which molecular alterations can be somatically inherited by
genetic, epigenetic or extragenetic transmission processes, leading to a
cooperation of neoplastic cells within tumoural tissue. The efflux protein
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is overexpressed in many cancer cells and has known
capacity to confer multidrug re... hiện toàn bộ
A novel superfamily containing the β-grasp fold involved in binding diverse soluble ligandsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2007
A. Maxwell Burroughs, S. Balaji, Lakshminarayan M. Iyer, L. Aravind
AbstractBackgroundDomains containing the β-grasp fold are utilized in a great
diversity of physiological functions but their role, if any, in soluble or small
molecule ligand recognition is poorly studied.ResultsUsing sensitive sequence
and structure similarity searches we identify a novel superfamily containing the
β-grasp fold. They are found in a diverse set of proteins that include the
animal ... hiện toàn bộ
Phylogenetic analysis reveals wide distribution of globin XSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 6 - Trang 1-5 - 2011
Jasmin Dröge, Wojciech Makałowski
The vertebrate globin gene repertoire consists of seven members that differ in
terms of structure, function and phyletic distribution. While hemoglobin,
myoglobin, cytoglobin, and neuroglobin are present in almost all gnathostomes
examined so far, other globin genes, like globin X, are much more restricted in
their phyletic distribution. Till today, globin X has only been found in teleost
fish and... hiện toàn bộ
Tissue-specific roles of peroxisomes revealed by expression meta-analysisSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 19 - Trang 1-14 - 2024
Matthias Plessner, Leonie Thiele, Julia Hofhuis, Sven Thoms
Peroxisomes are primarily studied in the brain, kidney, and liver due to the
conspicuous tissue-specific pathology of peroxisomal biogenesis disorders. In
contrast, little is known about the role of peroxisomes in other tissues such as
the heart. In this meta-analysis, we explore mitochondrial and peroxisomal gene
expression on RNA and protein levels in the brain, heart, kidney, and liver,

Intron losses and gains in the nematodesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2022
Ming-Yue Ma, Xia Ji, Kunxian Shu, Deng-Ke Niu
Abstract Background The evolution of spliceosomal introns has been widely
studied among various eukaryotic groups. Researchers nearly reached the
consensuses on the pattern and the mechanisms of intron losses and gains across
eukaryotes. However, according to previous studies that analyzed a few genes or
genomes, Nematoda seems to be an eccentric group. Results Taking advantage of
the recent accum... hiện toàn bộ
