In a variety of biological contexts, characterizing genes associated with disease etiology and mediating global transcriptomic change is a key initial step. Here, we present a protocol to identify such key genes using our tool "PathExt," a tool that implements a network-based approach. We describe steps for installing libraries, preparing input data and detailed procedures for running PathExt, and characterizing differential pathways and key genes based on ripple centrality scores. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Agrawal et al..

Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive subtype of breast cancer, with the worst prognosis among all subtypes. The impact of distinct cell subpopulations within the tumor microenvironment (TME) on TNBC patient prognosis has yet to be clarified.
Methods: Utilizing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) integrated with bulk RNA sequencing (bulk RNA-seq), we applied Cox regression models to compute hazard ratios, and cross-validated prognostic scoring using a GLMNET-based Cox model.

Objectives: The National Library of Medicine (NLM) currently indexes close to a million articles each year pertaining to more than 5300 medicine and life sciences journals. Of these, a significant number of articles contain critical information about the structure, genetics, and function of genes and proteins in normal and disease states. These articles are identified by the NLM curators, and a manual link is created between these articles and the corresponding gene records at the NCBI Gene database.

is a common bacterial pathogen in aquaculture, often leading to visceral white spot disease in large yellow croakers (). Previous studies have found that certain aptamers show an efficient antibacterial effect against this pathogen. In this study, we analyzed the transcriptome of to get insights into the antibacterial and inhibitions mechanisms following exposure to the aptamer B4.
