Synthetic Biology

Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

Sequence Networks of Rotating Machines

Sequence Networks of Rotating Machines

A Y-connected synchronous generator, grounded through a neutral impedance, is designed to produce balanced internal phase voltages with only positive-sequence components. The generator's sequence networks include a source voltage that is exclusively in the positive-sequence network. The sequence components of line-to-ground voltages at the generator terminals illustrate this configuration.
Zero-sequence current induces a voltage drop across the generator's neutral impedance and other...

Operon Model

Operon Model

The operon model represents a fundamental mechanism of gene regulation in prokaryotes, enabling coordinated expression of genes involved in related metabolic or functional pathways. Operons consist of structural genes, a promoter, and an operator, with transcription regulated by repressors, activators, and small effector molecules.Structure and Function of OperonsAn operon is a cluster of structural genes transcribed together under the control of a single promoter. The promoter region...

Background:

Gene regulatory network (GRN) modeling is crucial for understanding cellular processes.
Existing tools often rely on outdated prior biological knowledge, limiting GRN accuracy.
Transcription factor binding and protein-protein interactions are key components of GRNs.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce SPONGE, a Python module for generating up-to-date prior networks.
To facilitate the integration of current biological data into network modeling.
To improve the accuracy and reliability of gene regulatory network construction.

Main Methods:

SPONGE accesses biological databases like JASPAR and STRING.
It models prior gene regulatory networks based on transcription factor binding sites.
It models prior protein-protein interaction networks for transcription factors.

Main Results:

SPONGE provides updated gene regulatory and protein-protein interaction networks.
The module is designed for compatibility with the PANDA algorithm and NetZoo tools.
Networks are generated in an adaptable format for broader usability.

Conclusions:

SPONGE enhances GRN modeling by incorporating current biological information.
The module offers ease of use with customizable parameters.
Updated prior networks are essential for accurate biological network inference.
