Identification of potential biomarkers for melanoma cancer (black tumor) using bioinformatics strategy: a study based on GEO and SRA datasets
J Appl Genet. 2023 Oct 24. doi: 10.1007/s13353-023-00794-4. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMelanoma, a highly invasive type of skin cancer that penetrates the entire dermis layer, is associated with increased mortality rates. Excessive exposure of the skin to sunlight, specifically ultraviolet radiation, is the underlying cause of this malignant condition. The appearance of unique skin moles represents a visible clue, referred to as the "ugly duckling" sign, indicating the presence of melanoma and its association with cellular DNA damage. This research aims to explore potential biomarkers derived from microarray data, emplo...

The mitogenomes characterization of two Peltigera species (Peltigera elisabethae and Peltigera polydactylon) and comparative mitogenomic analyses of six Peltigera
J Appl Genet. 2023 Oct 11. doi: 10.1007/s13353-023-00791-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn the present study, the mitochondrial genomes of Peltigera elisabethae and P. polydactylon were sequenced and assembled. The two mitogenomes were composed of circular DNA molecules, with sizes of 64,034 bp and 59,208 bp, respectively. Comparative analysis showed that the genome size, GC content, GC skew, and AT skew varied between the two mitochondrial genomes. In codon analysis, phenylalanine (Phe), isoleucine (Ile), and leucine (Leu) were most frequently used in six Peltigera genomes. Evolutionary analysis showed that all 14 prote...

Genetic variants of MTHFR gene in relation to folic acid levels and bone mineral density in Polish patients with inflammatory bowel disease
J Appl Genet. 2023 Oct 11. doi: 10.1007/s13353-023-00792-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLower bone mineral density (BMD) constitutes a common issue in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Studies often explore the association between BMD and folic acid level. The presented study aimed to evaluate the impact of MTHFR gene polymorphism and folic acid levels on BMD in patients with IBDs: Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). The study group comprised IBD patients and a healthy control group. BMD, T-score, and Z-score of the lumbar spine (L1-L4) and femoral neck (FN) were assessed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiome...
