AI Article Synopsis

  • * The analysis reveals distinct AU content distributions and similar minimum folding energy indices among most ncRNA classes, with notable exceptions for pre-miRNAs and lncRNAs, which show different trends.
  • * An eight-classifier model was developed to differentiate these ncRNA classes, with support vector machines achieving the highest accuracy of about 96%, leading to the creation of a web server called NCodR for easy access to this classification tool.

Article Abstract

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are major players in the regulation of gene expression. This study analyses seven classes of ncRNAs in plants using sequence and secondary structure-based RNA folding measures. We observe distinct regions in the distribution of AU content along with overlapping regions for different ncRNA classes. Additionally, we find similar averages for minimum folding energy index across various ncRNAs classes except for pre-miRNAs and lncRNAs. Various RNA folding measures show similar trends among the different ncRNA classes except for pre-miRNAs and lncRNAs. We observe different k-mer repeat signatures of length three among various ncRNA classes. However, in pre-miRs and lncRNAs, a diffuse pattern of k-mers is observed. Using these attributes, we train eight different classifiers to discriminate various ncRNA classes in plants. Support vector machines employing radial basis function show the highest accuracy (average F1 of ~96%) in discriminating ncRNAs, and the classifier is implemented as a web server, NCodR.

The established consensus sequence for human 5' splice sites masks the presence of two major splice site classes defined by preferential base-pairing potentials with either U5 snRNA loop 1 or the U6 snRNA ACAGA box. The two 5' splice site classes are separable in genome sequences, sensitized by specific genotypes and associated with splicing complexity. The two classes reflect the commitment to 5' splice site usage occurring primarily during 5' splice site transfer to U6 snRNA.

The effective clinical translation of messenger RNA (mRNA), small interfering RNA (siRNA), and microRNA (miRNA) for therapeutic purposes hinges on the development of efficient delivery systems. Key challenges include their susceptibility to degradation, limited cellular uptake, and inefficient intracellular release. Polymeric drug conjugates (PDCs) offer a promising solution, combining the benefits of polymeric carriers and therapeutic agents for targeted delivery and treatment.

As multiple imaging modalities cannot reliably diagnose cardiac tumors, the molecular approach offers alternative ways to detect rare ones. One such molecular approach is CRISPR-based diagnostics (CRISPR-Dx). CRISPR-Dx enables visual readout, portable diagnostics, and rapid and multiplex detection of nucleic acids such as microRNA (miRNA).

Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most prevalent forms of cancer globally, and has recently become the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women. BC is a heterogeneous disease comprising various histopathological and molecular subtypes with differing levels of malignancy, and each patient has an individual prognosis. Etiology and pathogenesis are complex and involve a considerable number of genetic alterations and dozens of alterations in non-coding RNA expression.
