Abstract Cell type-specific gene expression patterns are outputs of transcriptional regulatory networks (GRNs) that connect transcription factors and signaling proteins to target genes. Single-cell technologies such as single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing (scATAC-seq), can examine cell-type specific regulation at unprecedented detail. However, current approaches infer GRNs limited in their ability integrate scRNA-seq scATAC-seq...

The three-dimensional (3D) organization of the genome plays an important role in gene regulation bringing distal sequence elements 3D proximity to genes hundreds kilobases away. Hi-C is a powerful genome-wide technique study organization. Owing experimental costs, high resolution datasets are limited few cell lines. Computational prediction counts can offer scalable and inexpensive approach examine across multiple cellular contexts. Here we present HiC-Reg, predict contact from...

GM Jatropha X8#34 was placed for transgene flow assessment in the open field trial on Semakau Island, Singapore, between 2015 and 2017 to evaluate potential gene its non-GM counterparts related species. The featured event X8#34, which is characterized by high oleic acid content, marker-free, a homozygous transgene. study focused cross-pollination from plants, analyzing factors such as distance, wind insects mediated transfer, using event-specific multiplex PCR analysis of F1 seeds. Pollen...

Abstract Background There is a growing interest in Jatropha curcas L. (jatropha) as biodiesel feedstock plant. Variations its morphology and seed productivity have been well documented. However, there the lack of systematic comparative evaluation distinct collections under same climate agronomic practices. With several reports on low genetic diversity jatropha collections, uncertainty contribution to morphology. Result In this study, five populations plants collected from China (CN),...

Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several common genetic variants that may significantly modulate cancer susceptibility. However, the precise molecular mechanisms behind these associations remain largely unknown; it is often not clear whether discovered are themselves functional or merely genetically linked to other variants. Here, we provide an integrated method for identifying regulatory associated with and their target genes by combining analyses of...

Somatic embryogenesis receptor kinase (SERK) proteins play pivotal roles in regulation of plant development and immunity. The rice genome contains two SERK genes, OsSerk1 OsSerk2. We previously demonstrated that OsSerk2 is required for Xa21-mediated resistance to Xanthomonas oryzae pv. (Xoo) normal development. Here we report the molecular characterization OsSerk1. Overexpression results a semi-dwarf phenotype whereas silencing reduced angle lamina joint. not Xoo or Magnaporthe oryzae....

One key reason for the failure of Jatropha plantation is use non-improved planting materials. We present in this paper a variety (JO S2) through selective breeding with much better seed productivity than wild accessions as proven by field trials Singapore and India. In single farm trial two years, comparison was conducted from China, India, Indonesia Africa. It found that all traits studied like yield, kernel content, oil fatty acid composition, phosphorus content PE differed significantly...

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have hitherto identified several germline variants associated with cancer susceptibility, but the molecular functions of these risk modulators remain largely uncharacterized. Recent begun to uncover regulatory potential non-coding GWAS SNPs by using epigenetic information in corresponding cell types and matched normal tissues. However, this approach does not explore effect on other important that constitute microenvironment tumor or its precursor. This...
