Different types of stable genes will be useful for different normalizations and will need different methods for discovery. RESULTS We compile gene sets whose products are associated with cellular structures and record these gene sets for future reuse and analysis. We find that genes whose final products are associated with the cytosolic ribosome have expressions that are highly stable with respect to the total RNA content. Notably, these genes appear to be stable in bulk measurements as well. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Supplementary data are available through GitHub (johanngb/sc-stable).Background Patterns on proteins and genomic sequences are vastly analyzed, extracted and collected in databases. Although protein patterns originate from genomic coding regions, very few works have directly or indirectly dealt with coding region patterns induced from protein patterns. Results In this paper, we have defined a new genomic pattern structure suitable for representing induced patterns from proteins. The provided pattern structure, which is called "Consecutive Positions Scoring Matrix (CPSSM)", is a replacement for protein patterns and profiles in the genomic context. CPSSMs can be identified, discovered, and searched in genomes. Then, we have presented a novel pattern matching algorithm between the defined genomic pattern and genomic sequences based on dynamic programming. In addition, we have modified the provided algorithm to support intronic gaps and huge sequences. We have implemented and tested the provided algorithm on real data. The results on Saccharomyces cerevisiae's genome show 132% more true positives and no false negatives and the results on human genome show no false negatives and 10 times as many true positives as those in previous works. Conclusion CPSSM and provided methods could be used for open reading frame detection and gene finding. The application is available with source codes to run and download at http//app.foroughmand.ir/cpssm/.The number of genes belonging to a multi-gene family usually varies substantially over their evolutionary history as a consequence of gene duplications and losses. A first step toward analyzing these histories in detail is the inference of the changes in copy number that take place along the individual edges of the underlying phylogenetic tree. The corresponding maximum parsimony minimizes the total number of changes along the edges of the species tree. Incorrectly determined numbers of family members however may influence the estimates drastically. We therefore augment the analysis by introducing a probabilistic model that also considers suboptimal assignments of changes. Technically, this amounts to a partition function variant of Sankoff's parsimony algorithm. As a showcase application, we reanalyze the gain and loss patterns of metazoan microRNA families. As expected, the differences between the probabilistic and the parsimony method is moderate, in this limit of T→0, i.e. very little tolerance for deviations from parsimony, the total number of reconstructed changes is the same. However, we find that the partition function approach systematically predicts fewer gains and more loss events, showing that the data admit co-optimal solutions among which the parsimony approach selects biased representatives.Influenza viruses are persistently threatening public health, causing annual epidemics and sporadic pandemics due to rapid viral evolution. Vaccines are used to prevent influenza infections but the composition of the influenza vaccines have to be updated regularly to ensure its efficacy. Computational tools and analyses have become increasingly important in guiding the process of vaccine selection. By constructing time-series training samples with splittings and embeddings, we develop a computational method for predicting suitable strains as the recommendation of the influenza vaccines using recurrent neural networks (RNNs). The Encoder-decoder architecture of RNN model enables us to perform sequence-to-sequence prediction. We employ this model to predict the prevalent sequence of the H3N2 viruses sampled from 2006 to 2017. Brr2 Inhibitor C9 chemical structure The identity between our predicted sequence and recommended vaccines is greater than 98% and the Pepitope less then 0.2 indicates their antigenic similarity. The multi-step vaccine prediction further demonstrates the robustness of our method which achieves comparable results in contrast to single step prediction. The results show significant matches of the recommended vaccine strains to the circulating strains. We believe it would facilitate the process of vaccine selection and surveillance of seasonal influenza epidemics.Assays for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing (ATAC-seq) provides an innovative approach to study chromatin status in multiple cell types. Moreover, it is also possible to efficiently extract differentially accessible chromatin (DACs) regions by using state-of-the-art algorithms (e.g. DESeq2) to predict gene activity in specific samples. Furthermore, it has recently been shown that small dips in sequencing peaks can be attributed to the binding of transcription factors. These dips, also known as footprints, can be used to identify trans-regulating interactions leading to gene expression. Current protocols used to identify footprints (e.g. pyDNAse and HINT-ATAC) have shown limitations resulting in the discovery of many false positive footprints. We generated a novel approach to identify genuine footprints within any given ATAC-seq dataset. Herein, we developed a new pipeline embedding DACs together with bona fide footprints resulting in the generation of a Predictive gene regulatory Network (PreNet) simply from ATAC-seq data. We further demonstrated that PreNet can be used to unveil meaningful molecular regulatory pathways in a given cell type.BACKGROUND Despite the frequency and negative impact of low physical activity among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), little is known about how it persists and remits over time or the factors predicting new states of low physical activity. The aim of the study was to determine the probability of a transition between states of low and nonlow physical activity in a cohort of patients with stable COPD followed for 2 years. We also investigated different potentially modifiable factors to determine whether they can predict new states of low physical activity. METHODS We prospectively included 137 patients with stable COPD (mean age 66.9 ± 8.3 years). Physical activity was measured at baseline and at 1 and 2 years of follow up. Low physical activity was defined according to energy expenditure by cut-off points from the Fried frailty model. The likelihood of annual transition towards new states and recovery was calculated. We evaluated demographic, frailty, nonrespiratory, and respiratory variables as potential predictors, using generalized estimating equations.
