lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

9.8K
In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...

Nursing Code of Ethics01:29

Nursing Code of Ethics

4.3K
The Nursing Code of Ethics sets the ethical benchmark for the profession, and guides nurses in ethical analysis and decision making at the societal, organizational, and clinical levels. The code encompasses showing compassion and respect for the patient, their families, and communities in all circumstances while committing to providing patient-centered care. In addition, the code states that nurses must advocate for the patient by defending a cause or recommendation to protect their rights,...

New Methods to Study Gustatory Coding

We present three new methods to study gustatory coding. Using a simple animal, the moth Manduca sexta (Manduca), we describe a dissection protocol, the use of extracellular tetrodes to record the activity of multiple gustatory receptor neurons, and a system for delivering and monitoring precisely timed pulses of...

Area of Science:

  • Evolutionary biology
  • Genetics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • The optimality of the standard genetic code (SGC) is often assessed by comparing it to theoretical alternatives.
  • Previous studies have focused on SGC properties but less on the impact of comparison code sets.
  • These comparison sets implicitly represent different evolutionary hypotheses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the influence of comparison code sets on SGC optimality calculations.
  • To generalize findings across different evolutionary hypotheses.
  • To explore SGC properties related to overlapping genes.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized alternative code sets derived from sub-structures of the SGC.
  • Calculated and analyzed the optimality of the SGC against these derived sets.
  • Examined SGC properties concerning overlapping genes.

Main Results:

  • The SGC demonstrates robust optimality, irrespective of the comparison set used.
  • No alternative code set lacking optimized properties was identified.
  • Preliminary findings suggest intriguing structures within the SGC related to overlapping genes.

Conclusions:

  • The optimality of the standard genetic code is a stable feature across diverse evolutionary hypotheses.
  • Results provide a foundation for future studies on the evolution of the genetic code.
  • Further investigation is needed to explain observed SGC structures related to overlapping genes.
