Can geometric combinatorics improve RNA branching predictions?

Prior results for tRNA and 5S rRNA demonstrated that secondary structure prediction accuracy can be significantly improved by modifying the parameters in the multibranch loop entropic penalty function...

HolomiRA: a reproducible pipeline for miRNA binding site prediction in microbial genomes

Small RNAs, such as microRNAs (miRNAs), are candidates for mediating communication between the host and its microbiota, regulating bacterial gene expression and influencing microbiome functions and dynamics...

MysteryMaster: scraping the bottom of the barrel of barcoded Oxford nanopore reads

The high error rate associated with Oxford Nanopore sequencing technology adversely affects demultiplexing. To improve demultiplexing and reduce unclassified reads from nanopore sequencing data, we developed...

Limited overlap between genetic effects on disease susceptibility and disease survival

Systematic comparison of genome-wide association results for disease risk and disease-specific mortality for nine common diseases across seven biobanks finds limited overlap between genetic effects on disease susceptibility and survival.

MLGCN-Driver: a cancer driver gene identification method based on multi-layer graph convolutional neural network

The progression of cancer is driven by the accumulation of mutations in driver genes. Many researches promote to identify cancer driver genes. However, most of them ignore the high-order features in the...

Molecular basis for the activation of outer dynein arms in cilia

Issa et al. show that the ciliary small guanosine triphosphatase Arl3 displaces the inhibitory regulator Shulin/DNAAF9 from the outer dynein arm, leading to motor activation.

SMAD4 induces opposite effects on metastatic growth from pancreatic tumors depending on the organ of residence

Using mouse pancreatic cancer models, Tsanov et al. show that reactivation of SMAD4 at metastatic sites promotes tumor growth in the lung through RUNX1 but restrains metastatic growth through KLF4 in the liver, influenced by organ-specific epigenetic states.

A small molecule stabilizer rescues the surface expression of nearly all missense variants in a GPCR

Many mutations cause disease because they destabilize proteins. Here, Mighell and Lehner show that a single small molecule can correct the destabilization caused by nearly all pathogenic mutations in a human GPCR.

The human ribosome modulates multidomain protein biogenesis by delaying cotranslational domain docking

By studying dynamic folding intermediates on the human ribosome, Pellowe et al. show that newly made domains help each other to fold but do not stably interact until synthesis is complete, avoiding interdomain misfolding.
