In-vitro Mutagenesis01:16

In-vitro Mutagenesis

14.8K
To learn more about the function of a gene, researchers can observe what happens when the gene is inactivated or “knocked out,” by creating genetically engineered knockout animals. Knockout mice have been particularly useful as models for human diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes.

Combinatorial Gene Control02:33

Combinatorial Gene Control

8.5K
Combinatorial gene control is the synergistic action of several transcriptional factors to regulate the expression of a single gene. The absence of one or more of these factors may lead to a significant difference in the level of gene expression or repression.
The expression of more than 30,000 genes is controlled by approximately 2000-3000 transcription factors. This is possible because a single transcription factor can recognize more than one regulatory sequence. The specificity in gene...

Mutation, Gene Flow, and Genetic Drift01:09

Mutation, Gene Flow, and Genetic Drift

53.1K
In a population that is not at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of alleles changes over time. Therefore, any deviations from the five conditions of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium can alter the genetic variation of a given population. Conditions that change the genetic variability of a population include mutations, natural selection, non-random mating, gene flow, and genetic drift (small population size).

Genetic Screens02:46

Genetic Screens

4.6K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Epistasis Analysis01:09

Epistasis Analysis

4.9K
Although Mendel chose seven unrelated traits in peas to study gene segregation, most traits involve multiple gene interactions that create a spectrum of phenotypes. When the interaction of various genes or alleles at different locations influences a phenotype, this is called epistasis. Epistasis often involves one gene masking or interfering with the expression of another (antagonistic epistasis). Epistasis often occurs when different genes are part of the same biochemical pathway. The...

Woodward–Hoffmann Selection Rules and Microscopic Reversibility01:34

Woodward–Hoffmann Selection Rules and Microscopic Reversibility

2.2K
Electrocyclic reactions, cycloadditions, and sigmatropic rearrangements are concerted pericyclic reactions that proceed via a cyclic transition state. These reactions are stereospecific and regioselective. The stereochemistry of the products depends on the symmetry characteristics of the interacting orbitals and the reaction conditions. Accordingly, pericyclic reactions are classified as either symmetry-allowed or symmetry-forbidden. Woodward and Hoffmann presented the selection criteria for...

Area of Science:

  • Computational Biology
  • Systems Biology
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) are influenced by inherent noise and stochastic fluctuations.
  • Context-dependent stochasticity is crucial for accurate modeling of gene interactions.
  • Previous models like context-sensitive probabilistic Boolean networks (CSPBNs) face computational complexity challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To extend stochastic Boolean networks (SBNs) for general probabilistic Boolean networks (PBNs), specifically CSPBNs.
  • To develop a novel structure, context-sensitive SBNs (CSSBNs), for modeling stochasticity in GRNs.
  • To enable efficient simulation and analysis of GRNs, including their steady-state behavior.

Main Methods:

  • Extension of SBNs to create CSSBNs for modeling GRNs.
  • Development of a time-frame expanded CSSBN for efficient stationary behavior simulation.
  • Analysis of computational complexity, showing O(nLk2n) for STM computation.

Main Results:

  • CSSBNs provide an efficient simulation of CSPBNs with reduced computational complexity.
  • The CSSBN approach demonstrates greater efficiency than analytical methods and higher accuracy than approximate analyses.
  • Analysis of the p53-Mdm2 network revealed that gene perturbation significantly impacts steady-state distribution more than context switching.

Conclusions:

  • CSSBNs offer an efficient computational framework for modeling gene perturbation and intervention in GRNs.
  • CSSBN analysis provides insights into network dynamics, such as the oscillatory behavior of the p53-Mdm2 network.
  • The CSSBN approach aids in predicting steady-state distributions for networks like the glioma network, supporting drug discovery and intervention strategies.
