background: computational identification of phylogenetic motifs helps to understand the knowledge about known functional features that includes catalytic site, substrate binding epitopes, and protein-protein interfaces. furthermore, they are strongly conserved among orthologs, indicating their evolutionary importance. the study aimed to analyze five candidate genes involved in type ii diabetic ...

Abstract Background Sugarcane ( Saccharum ) is the most critical sugar crop worldwide. As one of enriched transcription factor families in plants, MYB genes display a great potential to contribute sugarcane improvement by trait modification. We have identified gene family at whole-genome level through systematic evolution analyses and expression profiling. R2R3-MYB large subfamily involved many...

background: newcastle disease virus (ndv) is the causativeagent of the newcastle disease (nd), a highly contagiousdisease in birds that causes significant economic losses to thepoultry industry worldwide. nd is endemic in iran and outbreaksare reported regularly in commercial poultry flocks and differentspecies of birds. objectives:the current study was carried outto characterize ndv based on p...

Abstract North Eastern states of India are blessed with extensive ecoclimatic conditions and much India’s endemic flora fauna. This region is rich in fish diversity plenty species ornamental importance, including model zebrafish. Among the potential fishes, Ctenops nobilis designated as Near Threatened Danio dangila included Least Concern list by IUCN. Cytogenetic profiling was undertaken here ...

Protein domains are conserved and functionally independent structures that play an important role in interactions among related proteins. Domain-domain interactions have been recently used to predict protein-protein interactions (PPI). In general, the interaction probability of a pair of domains is scored using a trained scoring function. Satisfying a threshold, the protein pairs carrying those...

BACKGROUND For decades it has been recognized that neutrophilic Fe-oxidizing bacteria (FeOB) are associated with hydrothermal venting of Fe(II)-rich fluids associated with seamounts in the world's oceans. The evidence was based almost entirely on the mineralogical remains of the microbes, which themselves had neither been brought into culture or been assigned to a specific phylogenetic clade. W...

Whole-genome sequencing is becoming a leading technology in the typing and epidemiology of microbial pathogens, but the increase in genomic information necessitates significant investment in bioinformatic resources and expertise, and currently used methodologies struggle with genetically heterogeneous bacteria such as the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori. Here we demonstrate that the ...

Objective(s): The purpose of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis on human microRNAs (miRNAs) expression data of endometriosis tissue profiles versus those of normal controls and to identify novel putative diagnostic markers. Materials andMethods: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Ovid Medline were used to search for endometriosis miRNA expression profiling studies of endometriosis. The miRN...

Phylogenetic analysis has shown that Escherichia coli is composed of four main phylogenetic groups (A, B1, B2 and D). Characterization of phylogenetic groups is of clinical interest, as group A and B1 generally associated with commensals, whereas most enteropathogenic isolates are assigned to group D, and group B2 is associated with extra-intestinal pathotype. One hundred E. coli strains recove...

Genes involved in mycoremediation were identified by comparative genomics analysis 10 armillarioid species and selected groups of white-rot Basidiomycota (14) soft-rot Ascomycota (12) to confine the distinctive bioremediation capabilities armillarioids. The genomes explored using phylogenetic principal component (pPCA), searching for genes already documented a biocatalysis/biodegradation databa...
