What is Gene Expression?01:42

What is Gene Expression?

179.6K
Overview
Gene expression is the process in which DNA directs the synthesis of functional products, that is, proteins. Cells can regulate gene expression at various stages. It allows organisms to generate different cell types and enables cells to adapt to internal and external factors.
Genetic Information Flows from DNA to RNA to Protein
A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is made up of nucleotides and proteins consist of amino...

What is Gene Expression?

9.7K
A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is comprised  of nucleotides and proteins are comprised of amino acids, a mediator is required to convert the information encoded in DNA into proteins. This mediator is the messenger RNA (mRNA). mRNA copies the blueprint from DNA by a process called transcription. In eukaryotes, transcription occurs in the nucleus by complementary base-pairing with the DNA template. The mRNA is then...

One-Compartment Open Model: Wagner-Nelson and Loo Riegelman Method for ka Estimation

819
This lesson introduces two critical methods in pharmacokinetics, the Wagner-Nelson and Loo-Riegelman methods, used for estimating the absorption rate constant (ka) for drugs administered via non-intravenous routes. The Wagner-Nelson method relates ka to the plasma concentration derived from the slope of a semilog percent unabsorbed time plot. However, it is limited to drugs with one-compartment kinetics and can be impacted by factors like gastrointestinal motility or enzymatic degradation.

Analysis Methods of Pharmacokinetic Data: Model and Model-Independent Approaches

275
Drug disposition in the body is a complex process and can be studied using two major approaches: the model and the model-independent approaches.
The model approach uses mathematical models to describe changes in drug concentration over time. Pharmacokinetic models help characterize drug behavior in patients, predict drug concentration in the body fluids, calculate optimum dosage regimens, and evaluate the risk of toxicity. However, ensuring that the model fits the experimental data accurately...

Model Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Distributed Parameter Models

150
Pharmacokinetic models are mathematical constructs that represent and predict the time course of drug concentrations in the body, providing meaningful pharmacokinetic parameters. These models are categorized into compartment, physiological, and distributed parameter models.
The distributed parameter models are specifically designed to account for variations and differences in some drug classes. This model is particularly useful for assessing regional concentrations of anticancer or...

DNA Microarrays02:34

DNA Microarrays

19.1K
Microarrays are high-throughput and relatively inexpensive assays that can be automated to analyze large quantities of data at a time. They are used in genome-wide studies to compare gene or protein expression under two varied conditions, such as healthy and diseased states. Microarrays consist of glass or silica slides on which probe molecules are covalently attached through surface functionalization. Most commonly, the slides are prepared through the chemisorption of silanes to silica...

Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • High-dimensional omic data analysis often relies on graphical models.
  • Existing methods primarily detect linear gene relationships, missing complex non-linear interactions.
  • The curse of dimensionality and computational challenges hinder the detection of non-linear associations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel method for estimating gene networks that captures non-linear relationships.
  • To overcome limitations of existing linear graphical model approaches in omics data analysis.
  • To improve the accuracy of gene network inference in high-dimensional biological data.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed a two-step approach: model-free neighborhood prioritization followed by non-parametric conditional independence testing.
  • Developed "mofreds" (MOdel FRee Estimation of DAG Skeletons) for directed acyclic graph (DAG) skeleton estimation.
  • Evaluated theoretical properties and performance through extensive simulations.

Main Results:

  • Mofreds demonstrated substantially superior performance compared to state-of-the-art linear methods.
  • The method successfully identified non-linear gene-gene relationships in breast cancer TCGA data.
  • Discovered relationships missed by traditional Gaussian graphical model approaches.

Conclusions:

  • Mofreds offers a powerful new tool for inferring complex, non-linear gene regulatory networks from omics data.
  • The method enhances our understanding of biological systems by revealing hidden interactions.
  • Mofreds provides a significant advancement over existing techniques for high-dimensional biological network analysis.
