Entropy-Driven, Integrative Bioinformatics Approaches Reveal the Recent Transmission of the Monkeypox Virus from Nigeria to Multiple Non-African Countries.

Monkeypox virus (mpox) has currently affected multiple countries around the globe. This study aims to analyze how the virus spread globally. The study uses entropy-driven bioinformatics in five directions to analyze the 60 full-length complete genomes of mpox.

Determination of k-mer density in a DNA sequence and subsequent cluster formation algorithm based on the application of electronic filter.

We describe a novel algorithm for information recovery from DNA sequences by using a digital filter. This work proposes a three-part algorithm to decide the k-mer or q-gram word density. Employing a finite impulse response digital filter, one can calculate the sequence's k-mer or q-gram word density.

Understanding the molecular evolution of tiger diversity through DNA barcoding marker ND4 and NADH dehydrogenase complex using computational biology.

Background: Currently, Tigers (the top predator of an ecosystem) are on the list of endangered species. Thus the need is to understand the tiger's population genomics to design their conservation strategies.

Objective: We analyzed the molecular evolution of tiger diversity using NADH dehydrogenase subunit 4 (ND4), a significant electron transport chain component.

The novel strategies for next-generation cancer treatment: miRNA combined with chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of cancer.

Medical practitioners are recommending combination therapy in cancer for its various advantages. Combination therapy increases the efficacy of treatment due to its synergistic effects in cancer treatment. In this post-genomic era, microRNAs (miRNAs) are receiving attention for their role in human disease and disease therapy.

Novel biomarker for prostate cancer diagnosis by MRS.

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a prospective tool for characterization of the chemical composition of tissues. In vivo MRS can be used for metabolite profiling in the prostate tissue to discriminate non-invasively carcinomas and healthy prostate. In this article different prostate metabolites have been discussed and how to exploit the MRS technique for the estimation of metabolites in prostate tissue quantitatively is elucidated.

Mapping the structural topology of IRS family cascades through computational biology.

Structural topologies of proteins play significant roles in analyzing their biological functions. Converting the amino acid data in a protein sequence into structural information to outline the function of a protein is a major challenge in post-genome research which can add an extra room in understanding the protein sequence-structure-function relationships. In this study, we performed a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis of structural topology of the IRS family members such as IRS-1, IRS-2, IRS-3, IRS-4, IRS-5 and IRS-6.

Information processing in network architecture of genome controlled signal transduction circuit. A proposed theoretical explanation.

In this paper, Shannon information theory has been applied to elaborate cell signaling. It is proposed that in the cellular network architecture, four components viz. source (DNA), transmitter (mRNA), receiver (protein) and destination (another protein) are involved.

Variations of water uptake, lipid consumption, and dynamics during the germination of Sesamum indicum seed: a nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic investigation.

Germination in sesame seeds (Sesamum indicum L.) in water and in indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) solution is investigated with magic-angle-spinning (MAS) solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, supplemented by liquid state NMR spectroscopy. The spectra show good resolution and can be assigned with sufficient confidence.
