Published: October 2013

To enable easy access and interpretation of heterogenous and scattered data, we have developed a user-friendly tool for data mining and integration in Arabidopsis thaliana, designated CORrelation NETworks (acronym CORNET), allowing browsing of microarray data, construction of coexpression and protein-protein interactions (PPIs), analysis of gene association and transcription factor (TF) regulatory networks, and exploration of diverse functional annotations. CORNET consists of three tools that can be used individually or in combination, namely, the coexpression tool, the PPI tool, and the TF tool. Different search options are implemented to enable the creation of networks centered around multiple input genes or proteins. Functional annotation resources are included to retrieve relevant literature, phenotypes, localization, gene ontology, plant ontology, and biological pathways. Networks and associated evidence of the majority of the currently available data types are visualized in Cytoscape. CORNET is available at https://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be/cornet.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common tachyarrhythmia and seriously affects human health. Key targets of AF bioinformatics analysis can help to better understand the pathogenesis of AF and develop therapeutic targets. The left atrial appendage tissue of 20 patients with AF and 10 patients with sinus rhythm were collected for sequencing, and the expression data of the atrial tissue were obtained.

In the adult mammalian cochlea, hair cell loss is irreversible and causes deafness. The basic helix-loop transcription factor Atoh1 is essential for normal hair cell development in the embryonic ear. Over-expression of Atoh1 in the adult cochlea by gene therapy can convert supporting cells (cells that underlie hair cells) into a hair cell lineage.

Background: Recent years have seen persistently poor prognoses for glioma patients. Therefore, exploring the molecular subtyping of gliomas, identifying novel prognostic biomarkers, and understanding the characteristics of their immune microenvironments are crucial for improving treatment strategies and patient outcomes.

Methods: We integrated glioma datasets from multiple sources, employing Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) to cluster samples and filter for differentially expressed metabolic genes.

Intein-mediated split Cas9 for genome editing in plants.

Virus-induced genome editing (VIGE) technologies have been developed to address the limitations to plant genome editing, which heavily relies on genetic transformation and regeneration. However, the application of VIGE in plants is hampered by the challenge posed by the size of the commonly used gene editing nucleases, Cas9 and Cas12a. To overcome this challenge, we employed intein-mediated protein splicing to divide the transcript into two segments (Split-v1) and three segments (Split-v3).

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) causes significant economic losses in the swine industry. However, the molecular mechanisms behind the common and cell type-specific systemic responses during PRRS virus (PRRSV) infection are not well understood. In this study, we collected viremia data, antibody levels, and whole-blood RNA-seq data obtained from eight PRRSV-infected piglets.
