Insights into Bacterial Genome Composition through Variable Target GC Content Profiling
This study presents a new computational method for guanine (G) and cytosine (C), or GC, content profiling based on the idea of multiple resolution sampling (MRS). The benefit of our new approach over existing techniques follows from its ability to locate significant regions without prior knowledge of the sequence, nor the features being sought. The use of MRS has provided novel insights into ba...
متن کاملGC content provides new insights into exon recognition
Studies throughout the years revealed several characteristics that differentiate alternative exons from constitutive ones. However, some of those characteristics, such as splice signals and other regulatory sequences, are inherently sequence-based. Herein we show that these characteristics are heavily biased by GC content, and may not actually differ between alternative and constitutive exons. ...
متن کاملNew insights into p53 functions through its target microRNAs.
The tumor suppressor p53 pathway, whose alterations are highly associated with all types of human cancers, plays an essential role in preventing tumor development and progression mostly through its downstream target genes. Over the last decade, a growing list of p53 microRNA (miRNA) targets has been identified as additional downstream players of this pathway. Further studies of these miRNAs hav...
متن کاملTheoretical insights into bacterial chemotaxis.
Research into understanding bacterial chemotactic systems has become a paradigm for Systems Biology. Experimental and theoretical researchers have worked hand-in-hand for over 40 years to understand the intricate behavior driving bacterial species, in particular how such small creatures, usually not more than 5 µm in length, detect and respond to small changes in their extracellular environment...
