Background: Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β is over-expressed in a wide variety of cancers such as lung adenocarcinoma. TGF-β plays a major role in cancer progression through regulating cancer cell proliferation and remodeling of the tumor micro-environment. However, it is still a great challenge to explain the phenotypic effects caused by TGF-β stimulation and the effect of TGF-β stimulatio...

plants face many biotic and abiotic stresses at the same time during their growth under field conditions. plants responses toward combined stresses are often more complex than their responses to one type of stress in a way that the results of these responses are called as cross tolerance. this mixture of stresses activates specific models of gene expression that causes special signaling network...

this study was done to gain insights into transcriptional regulation of negative energy balance (neb) assoctiated genes. overexpressed genes in neb were identified using microarray and rna-seq data and promoter analysis of these overexpressed genes was applied to identify novel transcription factors. moreever, string database was used to construct a regulatory network of identified transcriptio...

Controlling the differential expression of many thousands of genes is the most fundamental task of a developing organism. It requires an enormous computational device that has the capacity to process in parallel a vast number of regulatory inputs in the various cells of the embryo and come out with regulatory outputs that are tissue specific. The regulatory genome constitutes this computational...

Background: Mammalian preimplantation development is a complex process involving dramatic changes in the transcriptional architecture. However, it is still unclear about the crucial transcriptional network and key hub genes that regulate the proceeding of preimplantation embryos. Materials and Methods: Through single-cell RNAsequencing (RNA-seq) of both human and mouse preimplantation embryos, ...

Background: The stress is one of main factors effects on production system. Several factors (both genetic and environmental elements) regulate immune response to stress. Objectives: In order to determine the major immune system regulatory genes underlying stress responses, a learning Bayesian network approach for those regulatory genes was applied to RNA-...

background: pteridine metabolic pathway is unusual features of leishmania , which is necessary for the growth of parasite. leishmania has evolved a complex and versatile pteridine salvage network which has the ability of scavenging a wide area of the conjugated and unconjugated pteridines espe-cially folate and biopterin. in this study, we focus on the inhibition of ptr1 gene expression. method...
