background: it is now well-demonstrated that histone demethylases play an important role in developmental controls, cell-fate decisions, and a variety of diseases such as cancer. lysine-specific demethylase 5d (kdm5d) is a male-specific histone demethylase that specifically demethylates di- and tri-methyl h3k4 at the start site of active genes. in this light, the aim of this study was to invest...

conclusions based on the presence of ta systems in the majority of p. aeruginosa isolates, these could be used as a novel target for antimicrobial therapy. results our results showed that in the 174 p. aeruginosa isolates, relbe and higba were universal, but parde was less prevalent. both of the flanking regions of the parde genes in all positive isolates were amplified. the flanking regions of...

background: prostate cancer is one of the most widespread cancers in men and is fundamentally a genetic disease. identifying regulators in cancer using novel systems biology approaches will potentially lead to new insight into this disease. it was sought to address this by inferring gene regulatory networks (grns). moreover, dynamical analysis of grns can explain how regulators change among dif...

understanding the genetic regulatory networks, the discovery of interactions between genes, and understanding regulatory processes in a cell at the gene level, is one of the major goals of system biology and computational biology. modeling gene regulatory networks, describing the actions of the cells at the molecular level and is used in medicine and molecular biology applications such as metab...

conclusions some results of the correlation coefficients are not the same with visualization. the reason may be due to the small number of data. materials and methods in the foundation-application study, we constructed two-way gene networks using nonparametric methods, such as spearman’s rank correlation coefficient and blomqvist’s measure, and compared them with pearson’s correlation coefficie...

With the rapid growth of wireless access networks, various providers offer their services using different technologies such as Wi-Fi, Wimax, 3G, 4G and so on. These networks compete for the scarce wireless spectrum. The spectrum is considered to be a scarce resource moderated by the spectrum allocation regulatory (“regulatory” for short) which is the governance body aiming to maximize the socia...

The biologists now face with the masses of high dimensional datasets generated from various high-throughput technologies, which are outputs of complex inter-connected biological networks at different levels driven by a number of hidden regulatory signals. So far, many computational and statistical methods such as PCA and ICA have been employed for computing low-dimensional or hidden represe...
