The essential oils were isolated by hydrodistillation from the hairy roots (HR) and roots of soil-grown plants (SGR) of and were analyzed by GC-MS method. In the both essential oils 62 compounds were identified. The root essential oils showed the di...
The binding and contribution of transcription factors (TF) to cell specific gene expression is often deduced from open-chromatin measurements to avoid costly TF ChIP-seq assays. Thus, it is important to develop computational methods for accurate TF b...
OBJECTIVE: We investigate the effects of bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP-7) on models with silica-induced and macrophage-mediated fibrosis and its possible mechanisms in vitro.
Epigenetic factors are known to correlate with gene expression in the existing studies. However, quantitative models that accurately classify the highly and lowly expressed genes based on epigenetic factors are currently lacking. In this study, a new...
BACKGROUND: Enhancers are tissue specific distal regulation elements, playing vital roles in gene regulation and expression. The prediction and identification of enhancers are important but challenging issues for bioinformatics studies. Existing comp...
