We generated a global genetic interaction network for Saccharomyces cerevisiae, constructing more than 23 million double mutants, identifying about 550,000 negative and 350,000 positive interactions. This comprehensive maps interactions essential gene pairs, highlighting genes as densely connected hubs. Genetic profiles enabled assembly of hierarchical model cell function, including modules corresponding to protein complexes pathways, biological processes, cellular compartments. Negative...

Trigenic interactions in yeast link bioprocesses To dissect the genotype-phenotype landscape of a cell, it is necessary to understand between genes. Building on digenic protein-protein interaction network, Kuzmin et al. created trigenic by using synthetic genetic array (see Perspective Walhout). Triple-mutant analyses indicated that majority genes with associations functioned within same biological processes. These converged networks identified landscape. Although overall effects were weaker...

Background Preventing germline stem cell proliferation extends lifespan in nematodes and flies. So far, studies on germline-longevity signaling have focused daf-16/FOXO daf-12/VDR. Here, we report NHR-80/HNF4, a nuclear receptor that specifically mediates longevity induced by depletion of the germ line through mechanism implicates fatty acid monodesaturation. Methods Findings nhr-80/HNF4 is animals lacking required for their extended longevity. Overexpressing increases germline-less animals....

Constraint-based modeling has been applied to analyze metabolism of numerous organisms via flux balance analysis and genome-scale metabolic models, including mammalian cells such as the Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells-the principal cell factory platform for therapeutic protein production. Unfortunately, application model methodologies using conventional biomass objective function is challenged by presence overly-restrictive constraints, essential amino acid exchange fluxes that can lead...

Methyltransferase-like protein 7A (METTL7A), an RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methyltransferase, has attracted much attention as it been found to be closely associated with various types of tumorigenesis and progression. This study provides a comprehensive assessment METTL7A from pan-cancer perspective using multi-omics data. The gene ontology enrichment analysis METTL7A-binding proteins revealed close association methylation lipid metabolism. We then explored the expression in normal...

Abstract Nutrient availability is critical for growth of algae and other microbes used generating valuable biochemical products. Determining the optimal levels nutrient supplies to cultures can eliminate feeding excess nutrients, lowering production costs reducing pollution into environment. With advent omics bioinformatics methods, it now possible construct genome-scale models that accurately describe metabolism microorganisms. In this study, a model green alga Chlorella vulgaris ( i CZ946)...

Abstract Mammalian cell culture processes rely heavily on empirical knowledge in which process control remains a challenge due to the limited characterization/understanding of metabolism and inability predict behaviors. This study facilitates Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) through forecast‐based feeding approach that predicts multiple essential amino acids levels from easily acquired viable density data. Multiple growth behavior forecast extrapolation approaches are considered with logistic...
