Epigenetic Repression of miR-31 Disrupts Androgen Receptor Homeostasis and Contributes to Prostate Cancer Progression

TL;DR: This study examined primary and metastatic prostate cancer and found that miR-31 expression was reduced as a result of promoter hypermethylation, and importantly, the levels of miR -31 expression were inversely correlated with the aggressiveness of the disease.
Proceedings Article

Using Iterative Dynamic Programming to Obtain Accurate Pairwise and Multiple Alignments of Protein Structures

TL;DR: It is shown how a basic pairwise alignment procedure can be improved to more accurately align conserved structural regions, by using variable, position-dependent gap penalties that depend on secondary structure and by taking the consensus of a number of suboptimal alignments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Zebrafish miR-1 and miR-133 shape muscle gene expression and regulate sarcomeric actin organization

TL;DR: Results suggest thatmiR-1 and miR-133 actively shape gene expression patterns in muscle tissue, where they regulate sarcomeric actin organization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and analysis of unitary pseudogenes: historic and contemporary gene losses in humans and other primates.

TL;DR: A pipeline to detect human unitary pseudogenes through analyzing the global inventory of orthologs between the human genome and its mammalian relatives is developed and it is shown that for a group of 76, the functional genes appear to be disabled at a fairly uniform rate throughout primate evolution.
