Background/objectives: Understanding the relationship between DNA sequences and gene expression levels is of significant biological importance. Recent advancements have demonstrated the ability of deep learning to predict gene expression levels directly from genomic data. However, traditional methods are limited by basic word encoding techniques, which fail to capture the inherent features and patterns of DNA sequences.

Yet, the co-linearity of codons and amino acids is so commonplace an idea that few even ask how it arose. Readout is done by two distinct sets of proteins, called aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (AARS).

We investigated the interplay of cardiovascular autonomic and inflammatory profiles in persons with extreme longevity (PEL), their direct offsprings (DO), and a group of controls matched for age and sex with the DO. Cardiac autonomic control was assessed through the heart rate variability (HRV) using spectral and symbolic analysis. The plasma concentration and gene expression of interleukin (IL)-10, IL-6, and TNF-α were quantified.

Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is one of the cytokines found to be multifunctional and biologically effective, regulating immune and inflammatory response by interacting with receptors to transmit signals. In this study, the full-length cDNAs of IL-6 (named as NaIL-6) and its receptors IL-6R and gp130 (named as NaIL-6Rα and NaIL-6Rβ) of Nibea albiflora were acquired and they possessed the typical symbolic motifs similar to its teleost orthologues in multiple sequence comparisons. The phylogenetic trees showed that NaIL-6 and its receptors clustered with their counterparts in bony fish, and had the closest affinity to Larimichthys crocea.

Background: The human ZFP57 gene is a major regulator of imprinted genes, maintaining DNA methylation marks that distinguish parent-of-origin-specific alleles. DNA methylation of the gene itself has shown sensitivity to environmental stimuli, particularly folate status. However, the role of DNA methylation in ZFP57's own regulation has not been fully investigated.
