Stochastic modelling of environmental variation for biological populations.
We examine stochastic effects, in particular environmental variability, in population models of biological systems. Some simple models of environmental stochasticity are suggested, and we demonstrate a number of analytic approximations and simulation-based approaches that can usefully be applied to them. Initially, these techniques, including moment-closure approximations and local linearizatio...
متن کاملCharacterization of environmental regulators of Bordetella pertussis.
Bordetella pertussis suppresses transcription of its virulence genes in response to specific environmental conditions, a response called modulation. The organism responds to high concentrations of SO4 and CIO4 ions, nicotinic acid, and nicotinic acid analogs in vitro; however, the in vivo modulator has not been identified. We investigated which chemical structures of the nicotinic acid molecule...
متن کاملtRNAs as regulators of biological processes
Transfer RNAs (tRNA) are best known for their role as adaptors during translation of the genetic code. Beyond their canonical role during protein biosynthesis, tRNAs also perform additional functions in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes for example in regulating gene expression. Aminoacylated tRNAs have also been implicated as substrates for non-ribosomal peptide bond formation, post-translationa...
متن کاملPseudogenes as regulators of biological function.
A pseudogene arises when a gene loses the ability to produce a protein, which can be due to mutation or inaccurate duplication. Previous dogma has dictated that because the pseudogene no longer produces a protein it becomes functionless and evolutionarily inert, being neither conserved nor removed. However, recent evidence has forced a re-evaluation of this view. Some pseudogenes, although not ...
متن کاملBiological variation of glycohemoglobin.
The high precision of the results may enable single measurements instead of multiple determination, thereby reducing costs. The significantly lower values for ghrelin in citrate plasma may only partially (ϳ12%) be explained by dilution with the anticoagulating liquid in the tubes (118 Ϯ 15 L). The discrepancy between citrate plasma and serum was ϳ25%, a discrepancy that is too high for a recom...
