Heat shock proteins (HSPs) act as molecular chaperones which are preferentially transcribed in response to severe perturbations of the cellular homeostasis such as heat stress. The present study was undertaken for molecular characterization and detection of genetic polymorphisms of HSPB6 gene in 100 Karan Fries Cattle. HSPB6 gene was mapped on Bos taurus autosome 18 (BTA 18), comprising three exons and two introns. Four sets of primers for HSPB6 gene were designed using Primer3 software (version 0.4.0). For detecting single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), sequence data was analyzed using BioEdit software (version 7.2). Comparative sequence analysis of HSPB6 gene showed five nucleotide polymorphisms, which included three transitions viz. g.161A > G, g.436G > A and g.2152A > G and two transversions viz. g.1743C > G and g.2417A > T compared to B. taurus (NCBI GenBank: AC_000175.1). HSPB6 gene of Karan Fries cattle exhibited a high percentage of nucleotide identity (47.0-100.0%) with the corresponding mammalian homologue. The present study indicated a high degree of genetic variability in the HSPB6 gene in the Karan Fries cattle populations.

In this chapter, we illustrate the utilization of network analysis and mechanistic modeling, two potent branches of systems biology, to simplify the representation of intricate biological processes such as cell signaling, gene regulation, and metabolic pathways. Specifically, we demonstrate the application of a well-established method to generate a microRNA-transcription factor-gene regulatory feed-forward loop network extracted from the GEO dataset GSE163877. Furthermore, we outline a method for constructing a deterministic model using the LSODA method based on the sub-network.

Background: Breast cancer is a significant public health issue worldwide, being the most prevalent cancer among women and a leading cause of death related to this disease. The molecular processes that propel breast cancer progression are not fully elucidated, highlighting the intricate nature of the underlying biology and its crucial impact on global health. The objective of this research was to perform bioinformatics analyses on breast cancer-related datasets to gain a comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms at play and to identify key genes associated with the disease.

Introduction: The utilization of denosumab in treating osteoporosis highlights promising prospects for osteoporosis intervention guided by gene targets. While omics-based research into osteoporosis pathogenesis yields a plethora of potential gene targets for clinical transformation, identifying effective gene targets has posed challenges.
Methods: We first queried the omics data of osteoporosis clinical samples on PubMed, used International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC) to screen differentially expressed genes, and conducted preliminary functional verification of candidate genes in human Saos2 cells through osteogenic differentiation and mineralization experiments.

Pediatric adrenocortical tumors (ACTs), rare conditions with uncertain prognoses, have high incidence in southern and southeastern Brazil. Pediatric ACTs are highly heterogeneous, so establishing prognostic markers for these tumors is challenging. We have conducted transcriptomic analysis on 14 pediatric ACT samples and compared cases with favorable and unfavorable clinical outcomes to identify prognostically significant genes.
