Plant physiological and biochemical processes are significantly affected by gamma irradiation stress. In addition, gamma-ray (GA) differentially affects gene expression across the whole genome. In this study, we identified radio marker genes (RMGs) responding only to GA stress compared with six abiotic stresses (chilling, cold, anoxia, heat, drought and salt) in rice. To analyze the expression patterns of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in gamma-irradiated rice plants against six abiotic stresses, we conducted a hierarchical clustering analysis by using a complete linkage algorithm. The up- and downregulated DEGs were observed against six abiotic stresses in three and four clusters among a total of 31 clusters, respectively. The common gene ontology functions of upregulated DEGs in clusters 9 and 19 are associated with oxidative stress. In a Pearson's correlation coefficient analysis, GA stress showed highly negative correlation with salt stress. On the basis of specific data about the upregulated DEGs, we identified the 40 candidate RMGs that are induced by gamma irradiation. These candidate RMGs, except two genes, were more highly induced in rice roots than in other tissues. In addition, we obtained other 38 root-induced genes by using a coexpression network analysis of the specific upregulated candidate RMGs in an ARACNE algorithm. Among these genes, we selected 16 RMGs and 11 genes coexpressed with three RMGs to validate coexpression network results. RT-PCR assay confirmed that these genes were highly upregulated in GA treatment. All 76 genes (38 root-induced genes and 38 candidate RMGs) might be useful for the detection of GA sensitivity in rice roots.

Article Synopsis
- RNA design is critical in synthetic biology and therapeutics but faces the inverse folding problem, which is the challenge of identifying functional RNA sequences from 3D structures due to various constraints.
- RiboDiffusion is introduced as a new generative diffusion model that effectively learns RNA sequences based on given 3D backbone structures, utilizing both a graph neural network and a Transformer to optimize sequence generation.
- The model demonstrates improved performance in sequence recovery compared to existing methods, with notable gains in both sequence and structure similarity, and can validate sequences through in silico folding, making it a promising tool for exploring RNA design challenges.

Bio-membranes exhibit complex but unique mechanical properties as communicative regulators in various physiological and pathological processes. Exposed to a dynamic micro-environment, bio-membranes can be seen as an intricate and delicate system. The systematical modeling and detection of their local physical properties are often difficult to achieve, both quantitatively and precisely.

RNA modifications are reversible, dynamically regulated, and involved in a variety of diseases such as cancers. Given the lack of efficient and reliable biomarkers for early diagnosis of ovarian cancer (OV), this study was designed to explore the role of RNA modification genes (RMGs) in the diagnosis of OV. Herein, 132 RMGs were retrieved in PubMed, 638 OV and 18 normal ovary samples were retrieved in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), and GSE18520 cohorts were collected for differential analysis.

Retinal Müller glial cells (RMGs) have a primary role in maintaining the homeostasis of the retina. In pathological situations, RMGs execute protective and regenerative effects, but they can also contribute to neurodegeneration. It has recently been recognized that cultured primary RMGs secrete pro-survival factors for retinal neurons for up to 2 weeks in culture, but this ability is lost when RMGs are cultivated for longer durations.

Ionizing radiation (IR) affects gene expression from plant genomes. To monitor the genome-wide transcriptional changes induced by three types of IR, we used the rice Affymetrix GeneChip microarray to identify genes that are up- or down-regulated by gamma rays (GAs), cosmic rays (CRs) and ion beams (IBs). The overall expression patterns in rice seedlings generated from seeds exposed to GAs and IBs were similar but differed for CRs exposure.
