Wnt signaling is essential for embryogenesis and adult tissue homeostasis and contributes to cancer development, especially in the colon. A new essential pathway component, legless, was identified in Drosophila melanogaster. Mice with Cre/loxP-mediated con ...
In both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, transcription has been described as being temporally discontinuous, most genes being active mainly during short activity windows interspersed by silent periods. In mammalian cells, recent studies performed at the single ...
Drosophila melanogaster is one of the most important genetic models and techniques such as reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) are being employed extensively for deciphering the genetics basis of physiological functions. In RT-qPCR, ...
R6/2 transgenic mice with expanded CAG repeats (> 300) have a surprisingly prolonged disease progression and longer lifespan than prototypical parent R6/2 mice (carrying 150 CAGs); however, the mechanism of this phenotype amelioration is unknown. We compar ...
The vast majority of genes in humans and other organisms undergo alternative splicing, yet the biological function of splice variants is still very poorly understood in large part because of the lack of simple tools that can map the expression profiles and ...
Identification of genes underlying human diseases is an important step in understanding and treating genetic disorders. Based on the assumption that related diseases are caused by related genes, several methods for candidate gene prioritization have been p ...
Several studies have shown that it is possible to detect cancer tissues based on gene expressions using methods of machine learning. The main problem with classifying gene expression data is to obtain accurate rules that are easy to interpret and provide i ...
Alternative splicing, an unknown mechanism 20 years ago, is now recognized as a major mechanism for proteome and transcriptome diversity, particularly in mammals - some researchers conjecture that up to 90% of human genes are alternatively spliced. Despite ...
High levels of HIV-1 replication during the chronic phase of infection usually correlate with rapid progression to severe immunodeficiency. However, a minority of highly viremic individuals remains asymptomatic and maintains high CD4+ T cell counts. This t ...
