Similarly, the same sequences in the fugu genome have 68% identity to human UCEs, despite the human genome only reliably aligning to 1.8% of the fugu genome. [4] Despite often being noncoding DNA, [6] some ultraconserved elements have been found to be transcriptionally active, producing non-coding RNA molecules. [7]
BioJava is an open-source software project dedicated to provide Java tools to process biological data. [1] [2] [3] BioJava is a set of library functions written in the programming language Java for manipulating sequences, protein structures, file parsers, Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) interoperability, Distributed Annotation System (DAS), access to AceDB, dynamic ...
Within a sequence, amino acids that are important for folding, structural stability, or that form a binding site may be more highly conserved. [17] [18] The nucleic acid sequence of a protein coding gene may also be conserved by other selective pressures. The codon usage bias in some organisms may restrict the types of synonymous mutations in a ...
An RNA folding game that challenges players to make sequences that fold into a target RNA structure. The best sequences for a given puzzle are synthesized and their structures are probed through chemical mapping. The sequences are then scored by the data's agreement to the target structure and feedback is provided to the players.
TUC338 (transcribed ultra-conserved region 338) is an ultra-conserved element which is transcribed to give a non-coding RNA. [1] [2] The TUC338 gene was first identified as uc.338, along with 480 other ultra-conserved elements in the human genome. [3]
A random Fibonacci sequence can be defined by tossing a coin for each position of the sequence and taking () = + if it lands heads and () = () if it lands tails. Work by Furstenberg and Kesten guarantees that this sequence almost surely grows exponentially at a constant rate: the constant is independent of the coin tosses and was computed in ...
"This is the first time we have recorded a tiger raising three cubs in the national park," Kaeng Krachan National Park chief Mongkol Chaipakdee said in a statement sent to AFP on Friday.
Conserved signature inserts and deletions (CSIs) in protein sequences provide an important category of molecular markers for understanding phylogenetic relationships. [1] [2] CSIs, brought about by rare genetic changes, provide useful phylogenetic markers that are generally of defined size and they are flanked on both sides by conserved regions to ensure their reliability.
