European Roma groups show complex West Eurasian admixture footprints and a common South Asian genetic origin
(Public Library Science, 2019-09-23)Author summary Human demographic processes and admixture events leave traceable footprints in the genomes of the populations and they can modulate the genetic architecture of complex diseases. Here, we aim to study the ... -
Evaluation of Suppressed Mite Reproduction (SMR) Reveals Potential for Varroa Resistance in European Honey Bees (Apis mellifera L.)
(MDPI, 2020-09-03)In the fight against the Varroa destructor mite, selective breeding of honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) populations that are resistant to the parasitic mite stands as a sustainable solution. Selection initiatives indicate ... -
Evidences towards deciphering the mode of action of dimethylpyrazole-based nitrification inhibitors in soil and pure cultures of Nitrosomonas europaea
(Springer, 2022)Background: Agriculture relies on the intensive use of synthetic nitrogen (N) fertilizers to maximize crop yields, which has led to the transformation of agricultural soils into high-nitrifying environments. Nevertheless, ... -
Executing SADI services in Galaxy
(Biomed Central, 2014-09-22)Background: In recent years Galaxy has become a popular workflow management system in bioinformatics, due to its ease of installation, use and extension. The availability of Semantic Web-oriented tools in Galaxy, however, ... -
EXFI: Exon and splice graph prediction without a reference genome
(Wiley, 2020-08)For population genetic studies in nonmodel organisms, it is important to use every single source of genomic information. This paper presents EXFI, a Python pipeline that predicts the splice graph and exon sequences using ... -
Exploring Genetic Factors Involved in Huntington Disease Age of Onset: E2F2 as a New Potential Modifier Gene
(Public Library Science, 2015-07-06)Age of onset (AO) of Huntington disease (HD) is mainly determined by the length of the CAG repeat expansion (CAGexp) in exon 1 of the HTT gene. Additional genetic variation has been suggested to contribute to AO, although ... -
Expression analysis of lung miRNAs responding to ovine VM virus infection by RNA-seq
(Biomed Central, 2019-01-18)BackgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short endogenous, single-stranded, noncoding small RNA molecules of approximately 22 nucleotides in length. They regulate gene expression posttranscriptionally by silencing mRNA expression, ... -
First computational design using lambda-superstrings and in vivo validation of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine
(Nature Research, 2022-04)[EN] Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is the greatest threat to global health at the present time, and considerable public and private effort is being devoted to fighting this recently emerged disease. Despite the ... -
Foreword Special Issue Cell Cycle and Regulation
(MDPI, 2020-02-27)The process of cell division is critical to the growth and development of an organism. As a fertilized egg develops into a mature organism, tissues undergo cellular renewal or commit to terminal differentiation and leave ... -
Foreword Special Issue Genomic Instability in Tumor Evolution and Therapy Response
(MDPI, 2023-06-07)From an evolutionary perspective, mutations in the DNA molecule act as a source of genetic variation and thus, are beneficial to the adaptation and survival of the species [...] -
From classical to nonparametric growth models: Towards comprehensive modelling of mussel growth patterns
(Elsevier, 2017-03-18)Understanding biological processes, such as growth, is crucial to development management and sustainability plans for bivalve populations. Von Bertalanffy and Gompertz models have been commonly used to fit bivalve growth. ... -
From Omic Layers to Personalized Medicine in Colorectal Cancer: The Road Ahead
(MDPI, 2023-07-11)Colorectal cancer is a major health concern since it is a highly diagnosed cancer and the second cause of death among cancers. Thus, the most suitable biomarkers for its diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment have been studied ... -
Functional analysis of cancer-associated EGFR mutants using a cellular assay with YFP-tagged EGFR intracellular domain
(BioMed Central, 2007-09)Background: The presence of EGFR kinase domain mutations in a subset of NSCLC patients correlates with the response to treatment with the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors gefitinib and erlotinib. Although most EGFR mutations ... -
Gene Expression Profiling Reveals New Pathways and Genes Associated with Visna/Maedi Viral Disease
(MDPI, 2021-06-15)Visna/Maedi virus (VMV) is a lentivirus that infects the cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage in sheep, goats and wild ruminants. Infection with VMV causes a multisystemic inflammatory disorder, which includes pneumonia, ... -
Genetic affinities among the historical provinces of Romania and Central Europe as revealed by an mtDNA analysis
(Biomed Central, 2017-03-07)Background: As a major crossroads between Asia and Europe, Romania has experienced continuous migration and invasion episodes. The precise routes may have been shaped by the topology of the territory and had diverse impacts ... -
Genetic and environmental effects on body mass index from infancy to the onset of adulthood: an individual-based pooled analysis of 45 twin cohorts participating in the COllaborative project of Development of Anthropometrical measures in Twins (CODATwins) study
(Elsevier, 2016-07-13)Background: Both genetic and environmental factors are known to affect body mass index (BMI), but detailed understanding of how their effects differ during childhood and adolescence is lacking. Objectives: We analyzed the ... -
Genetic and environmental factors affecting birth size variation: a pooled individual-based analysis of secular trends and global geographical differences using 26 twin cohorts
(Oxford University Press, 2018-05-19)Background: The genetic architecture of birth size may differ geographically and over time. We examined differences in the genetic and environmental contributions to birthweight, length and ponderal index (PI) across ... -
Genetic and environmental influences on adult human height across birth cohorts from 1886 to 1994
(eLife Sciences Publications, 2016-12-14)Human height variation is determined by genetic and environmental factors, but it remains unclear whether their influences differ across birth-year cohorts. We conducted an individual-based pooled analysis of 40 twin ... -
