The malaria parasites in the genus Plasmodium have a very complicated life cycle involving an invertebrate vector and a vertebrate host. RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are critical factors involved in every aspect of the development of these parasites. However, very few RBPs have been functionally characterized to date in the human parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Using different bioinformatic methods...... hiện toàn bộ
Recent CR1 non-LTR retrotransposon activity in coscoroba reveals an insertion site preferenceSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 9 - Trang 1-6 - 2008
Judy St John, Thomas W Quinn
Chicken repeat 1 (CR1) is a taxonomically widespread non-LTR retrotransposon. Insertion site bias, or lack thereof, has not been demonstrated for CR1. Recent CR1 retrotranspositions were used to examine flanking regions for GC content and nucleotide bias at the insertion site. Elucidation of the exact octomer repeat sequence (TTCTGTGA) allowed for the identification of younger insertion events. Th...... hiện toàn bộ
Anti-masculinization induced by aromatase inhibitors in adult female zebrafishSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 21 - Trang 1-10 - 2020

Early sex differentiation genes of zebrafish remain an unsolved mystery due to the difficulty to distinguish the sex of juvenile zebrafish. However, aromatase inhibitors (AIs) could direct juvenile zebrafish sex differentiation to male and even induce ovary-to-testis reversal in adult zebrafish. In order to determine the transcriptomic changes of sex differentiation in juvenile zebrafish and early...... hiện toàn bộ
Slingshot: cell lineage and pseudotime inference for single-cell transcriptomicsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 19 - Trang 1-16 - 2018
Kelly Street, Davide Risso, Russell B. Fletcher, Diya Das, John Ngai, Nir Yosef, Elizabeth Purdom, Sandrine Dudoit
Single-cell transcriptomics allows researchers to investigate complex communities of heterogeneous cells. It can be applied to stem cells and their descendants in order to chart the progression from multipotent progenitors to fully differentiated cells. While a variety of statistical and computational methods have been proposed for inferring cell lineages, the problem of accurately characterizing ...... hiện toàn bộ
Genome-wide analysis of LTR-retrotransposons in oil palmSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 16 - Trang 1-14 - 2015
Thierry Beulé, Mawussé DT Agbessi, Stephane Dussert, Estelle Jaligot, Romain Guyot
The oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is a major cultivated crop and the world’s largest source of edible vegetable oil. The genus Elaeis comprises two species E. guineensis, the commercial African oil palm and E. oleifera, which is used in oil palm genetic breeding. The recent publication of both the African oil palm genome assembly and the first draft sequence of its Latin American relative now...... hiện toàn bộ
Proposing a highly accurate protein structural class predictor using segmentation-based featuresSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 15 - Trang 1-13 - 2014
Abdollah Dehzangi, Kuldip Paliwal, James Lyons, Alok Sharma, Abdul Sattar
Prediction of the structural classes of proteins can provide important information about their functionalities as well as their major tertiary structures. It is also considered as an important step towards protein structure prediction problem. Despite all the efforts have been made so far, finding a fast and accurate computational approach to solve protein structural class prediction problem still...... hiện toàn bộ
