Abstract The alternative processing of eukaryote genes allows producing multiple distinct transcripts from a single gene, thereby contributing to the transcriptome diversity. Recent studies suggest that more than 90% human are concerned, and resulting highly conserved between orthologous genes. In this paper, we first present model define orthology paralogy relationships at level, then an algor...

kawasaki disease (kd) is an acute febrile systemic vasculitis of childhood characterized by elevated levels of inflammatory mediators at the acute stage. high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (ivig) is well accepted as a conventional therapy for kd. the aim of the present study was to determine the expression level of toll like receptors (tlrs) and their corresponding signaling mediators in pbmc...

given the importance of transcriptome analysis in various biological studies and considering thevast amount of whole transcriptome sequencing data, it seems necessary to develop analgorithm to assemble transcriptome data. in this study we propose an algorithm fortranscriptome assembly in the absence of a reference genome. first, the contiguous sequencesare generated using de bruijn graph with d...

BACKGROUND Transcripts expressed in eukaryotes are classified as poly A+ transcripts or poly A- transcripts based on the presence or absence of the 3' poly A tail. Most transcripts identified so far are poly A+ transcripts, whereas the poly A- transcripts remain largely unknown. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We developed the TRD (Total RNA Detection) system for transcript identification. The...

Herpes simplex virus specifies two sets of transcripts from the UL24 gene, short transcripts (e.g., 1.4 kb), processed at the UL24 poly(A) site, and long transcripts (e.g., 5.6 kb), processed at the UL26 poly(A) site. The 1.4- and 5.6-kb transcripts initiate from the same promoter but are expressed with early and late kinetics, respectively. Measurements of transcript levels following actinomyc...

Recent studies have demonstrated that natural antisense transcripts, which are complementary sequences to messenger RNA, have important cellular functions such as the stabilization and silencing of mRNA. However, the possible contribution of antisense transcripts in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development has not been described. Therefore, we s...

High temperatures exacerbate the ammonia inhibition of anaerobic digestion coupled with methanogenesis. The methane production by has been observed in other studies. However, underlying mechanism is not well understood and requires further investigation. This study explored effect stress on archaeal 16S rRNA transcripts thermophilic digester sludge. Different ammonium concentrations were checke...
