Links Between Repeated Sequences
نویسنده
چکیده
L1 and Alu elements are long and short interspersed retrotransposable elements (LINEs and SINEs) in humans, respectively. Proteins encoded in the autonomous L1 mediate retrotransposition of the nonautonomous Alu and cellular mRNAs. Alu is the only active SINE in the human genome and is derived from 7SL RNA of signal recognition particle. In the other eukaryotic genomes, various tRNA- and 5S rRNA-derived SINEs are found. Some of the tRNA- and 5S rRNA-derived SINEs have partner LINEs of which 3' sequences are similar to those of the SINEs. One of the tRNA-derived SINEs is shown to be mobilized by its partner LINE. Many copies of tRNA and 5S rRNA pseudogenes are present in the human genome. These pseudogenes may have been generated via the retrotransposition process using L1 proteins. Although there are no sequence similarities between L1 and Alu, L1 functionally links with Alu and even cellular genes, impacting on our genome shaping.

Numerical modeling of links behavior in eccentric bracings with dual vertical links
Configuration and geometry of bracing systems affect the seismic performance of structures significantly. Recently, the current authors have introduced a new configuration for eccentric bracing of structural frames that may be assumed as the combination of inverted Y-type and rotated K-type EBFs. The resulted braced frame is called EBF-DVL, consisting of two vertical links attached together by ...

متن کاملEvaluation of First and Second Markov Chains Sensitivity and Specificity as Statistical Approach for Prediction of Sequences of Genes in Virus Double Strand DNA Genomes
Growing amount of information on biological sequences has made application of statistical approaches necessary for modeling and estimation of their functions. In this paper, sensitivity and specificity of the first and second Markov chains for prediction of genes was evaluated using the complete double stranded DNA virus. There were two approaches for prediction of each Markov Model parameter,...
متن کاملEfficient Extraction of Structured Motifs Using Box-Links
In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for the extraction of repeated motifs that may represent binding-site consensi in genomic sequences. In particular, the algorithm extracts structured motifs, which we define as a collection of highly conserved motifs with pre-specified sizes and spacings between them. This type of motifs is highly relevant in the search for gene regulatory mechanisms si...
متن کاملConcurrent Constraint Machine Improvisation: Models and Implementation
Machine improvisation “creates” music either by explicit coding of rules or by applying machine learning methods. In this section we deal with the latter case. An improvisation system capable of real-time must execute two process concurrently: one to apply machine learning methods to musical sequences in order to capture prominent musical features, and one to produce musical sequences stylistic...
