Identification of two MEF2s and their role in inhibiting the transcription of the mstn2a gene in the yellowfin seabream, Acanthopagrus latus (Hottuyn, 1782)
Gene. 2024 Feb 27:148322. doi: 10.1016/j.gene.2024.148322. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMyocyte-specific enhancer binding factor 2 (MEF2), which belongs to the MADS superfamily, is a pivotal and conserved transcription factor that combines with the E-box motif to control the expression of muscle genes. Myostatin (mstn), a muscle growth inhibitor, is a vital member of the TGF-β superfamily. Currently, an understanding of the mechanisms of A. latus mstn (Almstn) transcriptional regulation mediated by MEF2 in fish muscle development is lacking. In the present study, two AlMEF2s (AlMEF2A and AlMEF2B) and Almstn2a were charac...

Genomic insights into glume pubescence in durum wheat: GWAS and haplotype analysis implicates TdELD1-1A as a candidate gene
Gene. 2024 Feb 26:148309. doi: 10.1016/j.gene.2024.148309. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGlume pubescence is an important morphological trait for the characterization of wheat cultivars. It shows tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses to some extent. Hg1 (formerly named Hg) locus on chromosome 1AS controls glume pubescence in wheat. Its genetic analysis, fine-mapping and candidate gene analysis have been widely studied recently, however, the cloning of Hg1 has not yet been reported. Here, we conducted a GWAS between a dense panel of 171,103 SNPs and glume pubescence (Gp) in a durum wheat population of 145 lines, and furt...

Geometric Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 Variants
In this study, we constructed a geometric space to represent all SARS-CoV-2 sequences of different variants. An alignment-free method: natural vector method was utilized to establish genome space. The genome space of SARS-CoV-2 was constructed based on the 24-dimensional natural vector and the appropriate metric was determined through performing phylogenetic analysises. Phylogenetic trees of different lineages constructed under the selected natural vector and metric coincided with the lineage naming standards, which means lineages with same alphabetical prefix cluster in phylogenetic trees. Furthermore, the relationships b...

A large deletion in TSC2 causes tuberous sclerosis complex by dysregulating PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway
CONCLUSION: We confirmed the pathogenicity of the large deletion in TSC2 in a three- generations family.. Deletion of exon 4 of TSC2 affected cell proliferation, migration, and cell cycle via abnormal activation of the PAM pathway. This study evaluated the pathogenic effect of deletion of exon 4 of TSC2 and investigated the underlying mechanism.PMID:38412945 | DOI:10.1016/j.gene.2024.148312 (Source: Gene)
