Abstract Aging is a complex process with interindividual variability, which can be measured by aging biological clocks. clocks are machine-learning algorithms guided information and associated mortality risk wide range of health outcomes. One these transcriptomic clocks, uses gene expression data to predict age; however, their functional role unknown. Here, we profiled two (RNAAgeCalc knowledge-based deep neural network clock) in large dataset human postmortem prefrontal cortex (PFC)...
Background: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a complex condition associated with adverse health consequences that affect millions of individuals worldwide. Epigenetic modifications, including DNA methylation (5 mC), have been AUD and other alcohol-related traits. Epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) identified differentially methylated genes in human peripheral brain tissue. More recently, epigenetic also evaluated hydroxymethylation hmC) the brain. However, most work postmortem tissue has...
Abstract Structural and functional changes of the brain are assumed to contribute excessive cocaine intake, craving, relapse in use disorder (CUD). Epigenetic transcriptional were hypothesized as a molecular basis for CUD-associated alterations. Here we performed multi-omics study CUD by integrating epigenome-wide methylomic (N=42) transcriptomic (N=25) data from same individuals using postmortem tissue Brodmann Area 9 (BA9). Of N=1,057 differentially expressed genes (p<0.05), one gene,...

Background Pristimantis is the most diverse genus of terrestrial frogs. Historically, it has been divided into several phenetic groups in order to facilitate species identification. However, light phylogenetic analysis, many these have shown be non-monophyletic, denoting a high degree morphological convergence and limited number diagnostic traits. In this study, we focus on myersi group, an assemblage small rainfrogs distributed throughout Andes Ecuador Colombia, whose external morphology...
