    Monkeypox virus genomic accordion strategies

    The 2023 monkeypox (mpox) epidemic was caused by a subclade IIb descendant of a monkeypox virus (MPXV) lineage traced back to Nigeria in 1971. Person-to-person transmission appears higher than for clade I or s...

    Gene network transitions in embryos depend upon interactions between a pioneer transcription factor and core histones

    Gene network transitions in embryos and other fate-changing contexts involve combinations of transcription factors. A subset of fate-changing transcription factors act as pioneers; they scan and target nucleos...

    Liver organoids reproduce alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency-related liver disease

    Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) is a product of SERPINA1 gene mainly expressed by hepatocytes. Clinically relevant mutations in the SERPINA1 gene, such as Z (Glu342Lys), results in an expression of misfolded AAT protei...

    Comparison of molecular dynamics and superfamily spaces of protein domain deformation

    It is well known the strong relationship between protein structure and flexibility, on one hand, and biological protein function, on the other hand. Technically, protein flexibility exploration is an essential...
