Comparative Analysis of the Evolution of Green Leaf Volatiles and Aroma in Six L. Cultivars during Berry Maturation in the Chinese Loess Plateau Region.

Green leaf volatiles (GLVs) are important in giving grape a fresh and green aroma. But the changes in GLVs during the phenological development of grapevines are not well known. This study analyzed the GLVs and transcription levels of associated biosynthetic genes in six grape species from the Loess Plateau region at five stages of maturation.

miR-378a-5p exerts tumor-suppressive effects on esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after neoadjuvant immunotherapy by downregulating APOC1/CEP55.

Genetic assessment of tumors following neoadjuvant immunotherapy helps identifying targets that mediate anti-tumor immunity. In this study, we explored dysregulated RNAs in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma samples after neoadjuvant immunotherapy using deep sequencing and high-throughput screening. We identified 584 differentially expressed messenger RNAs (mRNAs), 67 differentially expressed microRNAs (miRNAs), and 1,047 differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) using differential expression analysis.

Facile Access to Cyclopropylboronates via Stereospecific Deborylative Cyclization: A Leaving Group-Assisted Activation of Geminal Diborons.

Herein we reported a transition metal-free deborylative cyclization strategy, based on which two routes have been developed, generating racemic and enantioenriched cyclopropylboronates. The cyclization of geminal-bis(boronates) bearing a leaving group was highly diastereoselective, tolerating a few functional groups and applicable to heterocycles. When optically active epoxides were used as the starting materials, enantioenriched cyclopropylboronates could be efficiently prepared with >99 % stereospecificity.

A novel approach to analyze the association characteristics between post-spliced introns and their corresponding mRNA.

Studies have shown that post-spliced introns promote cell survival when nutrients are scarce, and intron loss/gain can influence many stages of mRNA metabolism. However, few approaches are currently available to study the correlation between intron sequences and their corresponding mature mRNA sequences. Here, based on the results of the improved Smith-Waterman local alignment-based algorithm method (SW method) and binding free energy weighted local alignment algorithm method (BFE method), the optimal matched segments between introns and their corresponding mature mRNAs in (C.

Construction of a prognostic prediction model for renal clear cell carcinoma combining clinical traits.

Kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) is one of the common malignant tumors of the urinary system. Patients with different risk levels are other in terms of disease progression patterns and disease regression. The poorer prognosis for high-risk patients compared to low-risk patients.

Bioinformatics Analysis Identifies IL6ST as a Potential Tumor Suppressor Gene for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.

Improved insight into the molecular mechanisms of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is required to predict prognosis and develop a new therapeutic strategy for targeted genes. The aim of this study was to identify genes significantly associated with TNBC and further analyze their prognostic significance. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) TNBC database and gene expression profiles of GSE76275 from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) were used to explore differentially co-expressed genes in TNBC compared with those in normal tissues and non-TNBC breast cancer tissues.

Key Genes and Prognostic Analysis in HER2+ Breast Cancer.

Human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)+ breast cancer is considered the most dangerous type of breast cancers. Herein, we used bioinformatics methods to identify potential key genes in HER2+ breast cancer to enable its diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis prediction. Datasets of HER2+ breast cancer and normal tissue samples retrieved from Gene Expression Omnibus and The Cancer Genome Atlas databases were subjected to analysis for differentially expressed genes using R software.

Identification of key genes unique to the luminal a and basal-like breast cancer subtypes via bioinformatic analysis.

Background: Breast cancer subtypes are statistically associated with prognosis. The search for markers of breast tumor heterogeneity and the development of precision medicine for patients are the current focuses of the field.

Methods: We used a bioinformatic approach to identify key disease-causing genes unique to the luminal A and basal-like subtypes of breast cancer.

Spatial and Social Media Data Analytics of Housing Prices in Shenzhen, China.

Housing is among the most pressing issues in urban China and has received considerable scholarly attention. Researchers have primarily concentrated on identifying the factors that influence residential property prices and how such mechanisms function. However, few studies have examined the potential factors that influence housing prices from a big data perspective.

Effect of rain-shelter cultivation of Vitis vinifera cv. Cabernet Gernischet on the phenolic profile of berry skins and the incidence of grape diseases.

Rain-shelter cultivation is an effective cultural method to prevent rainfall damage during grape harvest and widely applied in the Chinese rainy regions. In this study we investigated the effect of rain-shelter cultivation on grape diseases and phenolic composition in the skins of Vitis vinifera cv. Cabernet Gernischet grape berries through the comparison with open-field cultivation at two vintages (2010 and 2011).
