Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the obstetric outcomes and urological complications related to asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB) in pregnant women using different diagnostic criteria.
  • A total of 225 pregnant women participated, categorized into five groups based on their urine culture outcomes and treatment decisions, with factors like preterm birth and preeclampsia analyzed across these groups.
  • Findings indicated that preterm birth was more common in all groups with AB, while preeclampsia was particularly prevalent in certain groups, though no significant differences were noted in complications such as hypertension or amnionitis.

Article Synopsis
  • - Efficient motif discovery from ChIP-seq data relies heavily on selecting the right background nucleotide sequences, influencing the identification of target transcription factors and minimizing false positives from common motifs like simple sequence repeats.
  • - A comparison of two methods for generating background sequences—synthetic (shuffling nucleotides) and genomic (selecting from the reference genome)—showed that the genomic approach yielded better results in detecting known motifs and reducing non-specific motifs.
  • - The study implemented a web service called AntiNoise to facilitate the extraction of genomic background sequences for various eukaryotic genomes, proving particularly effective for plants when compared to mammals.

We developed a procedure for locating genes on polytene chromosomes and described three types of chromosome structures (gray bands, black bands, and interbands), which differed markedly in morphological and genetic properties. This was reached through the use of our original methods of molecular and genetic analysis, electron microscopy, and bioinformatics data processing. Analysis of the genome-wide distribution of these properties led us to a bioinformatics model of the genome organization, in which the genome was divided into two groups of genes.

We explore dynamic structural superlubricity for the case of a relatively large contact area, where the friction force is proportional to the area (exceeding ∼100  nm^{2}) experimentally, numerically, and theoretically. We use a setup composed of two molecular smooth incommensurate surfaces: graphene-covered tip and substrate. The experiments and molecular dynamic simulations demonstrate independence of the friction force on the normal load for a wide range of normal loads and relative surface velocities.
