Protein Networks02:26

Protein Networks

4.3K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

The distribution law or Nernst's distribution law is the law that governs the distribution of a solute between two immiscible solvents. This law, also known as the partition law, states that if a solute is added to the mixture of two immiscible solvents at a constant temperature, the solute is distributed between the two solvents in such a way that the ratio of solute concentrations in the solvents remains constant at equilibrium.
For extracting a solute from an aqueous phase into an...

RNA-seq

11.1K
RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases. 
Before the discovery of RNA-seq, microarray-based methods and Sanger sequencing were used for transcriptome analysis. However, while...

Extraction: Advanced Methods

Metal ions can be separated from one another by complexation with organic ligands–the chelating agent– to form uncharged chelates. Here, the chelating agent must contain hydrophobic groups and behave as a weak acid, losing a proton to bind with the metal. Since most organic ligands used in this process are insoluble or undergo oxidation in the aqueous phase, the chelating agent is initially added to the organic phase and extracted into the aqueous phase. The metal-ligand complex is...

Ribosome Profiling02:24

Ribosome Profiling

3.9K
Ribosome profiling or ribo-sequencing is a deep sequencing technique that produces a snapshot of active translation in a cell. It selectively sequences the mRNAs protected by ribosomes to get an insight into a cell’s translation landscape at any given point in time.
Applications of ribosome profiling
Ribosome profiling has many applications, including in vivo monitoring of translation inside a particular organ or tissue type and quantifying new protein synthesis levels.
The technique...

  • To develop a computational package for extracting interconnected communities from GCNs.
  • To model gene interactions more accurately by considering inter-community correlations.
  • To provide a more flexible and biologically relevant community structure analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a novel computational package to identify interconnected communities in GCNs.
  • Defined interconnected communities based on correlated gene subsets between communities.
  • Employed advanced graph norm shrinkage algorithms to address computational challenges.
  • Validated the method through extensive simulation studies.

Main Results:

  • The proposed interconnected community structure provides a better fit to empirical co-expression data compared to independent structures.
  • Efficient algorithms were developed, overcoming computational hurdles in large-scale network analysis.
  • Application to TCGA Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) RNA-seq data identified key pathways linked to tumor immune evasion.

Conclusions:

  • Interconnected community detection offers a more robust framework for analyzing GCNs.
