DNA-binding proteins mediate a variety of crucial molecular functions, such as transcriptional regulation and chromosome maintenance, replication and repair, which in turn control cell division and differentiation. The roles of these proteins in disease ar ...
The segmentation of the early Drosophila embryo has proven to be a fertile ground for experimentalists and modellers. Until now, most models have assumed a one-dimensional geometry along a portion of the anterior-posterior axis, motivated by the nearly rot ...
Being in the layer at the interface of the body with the outside world, keratinocyte stem cells constantly adapt and respond to environmental cues such as temperature and oxygen. However, until now, experiments involving temperature have only examined cold ...
The history of globin research is marked by a series of contributions seminal to our understanding of the genome, its function, and its relation to disease. For example, based on studies on hemoglobinopathies, it was understood that gene expression can be ...
In Arabidopsis thaliana, gene expression level polymorphisms (ELPs) between natural accessions that exhibit simple, single locus inheritance are promising quantitative trait locus (QTL) candidates to explain phenotypic variability. It is assumed that such ...
We present a complete integrated system for live facial puppetry that enables high-resolution real-time facial expression tracking with transfer to another person's face. The system utilizes a real-time structured light scanner that provides dense 3D data ...
Sirtuins (Sirts) compose a family of NAD(+)-dependent deacetylases and/or ADP-ribosyltransferases, which have been implicated in aging, metabolism, and tolerance to oxidative stress. Many of the biological processes regulated by Sirts result from the adapt ...
Motivation: Understanding gene regulation in biological processes and modeling the robustness of underlying regulatory networks is an important problem that is currently being addressed by computational systems biologists. Lately, there has been a renewed ...
Background: Gene expression analysis has emerged as a major biological research area, with real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-QPCR) being one of the most accurate and widely used techniques for expression profiling of selected genes. In o ...
In this paper, we suggest a new approach for reverse engineering gene regulatory networks, which consists of using a reconstruction process that is similar to the evolutionary process that created these networks. The aim is to integrate prior knowledge int ...
