Background
The taxonomic name of an organism is a key link between different databases that store information on that organism. However, in the absence of a single, comprehensive database of organism names, individual databases lack an easy means of checking the correctness of a name. Furthermore, the same organism may have more than one name, and the same name may apply to more than one organism. 相似文献23.

Background
To determine which changes in the host cell genome are crucial for cervical carcinogenesis, a longitudinal in vitro model system of HPV-transformed keratinocytes was profiled in a genome-wide manner. Four cell lines affected with either HPV16 or HPV18 were assayed at 8 sequential time points for gene expression (mRNA) and gene copy number (DNA) using high-resolution microarrays. Available methods for temporal differential expression analysis are not designed for integrative genomic studies.Results
Here, we present a method that allows for the identification of differential gene expression associated with DNA copy number changes over time. The temporal variation in gene expression is described by a generalized linear mixed model employing low-rank thin-plate splines. Model parameters are estimated with an empirical Bayes procedure, which exploits integrated nested Laplace approximation for fast computation. Iteratively, posteriors of hyperparameters and model parameters are estimated. The empirical Bayes procedure shrinks multiple dispersion-related parameters. Shrinkage leads to more stable estimates of the model parameters, better control of false positives and improvement of reproducibility. In addition, to make estimates of the DNA copy number more stable, model parameters are also estimated in a multivariate way using triplets of features, imposing a spatial prior for the copy number effect.Conclusion
With the proposed method for analysis of time-course multilevel molecular data, more profound insight may be gained through the identification of temporal differential expression induced by DNA copy number abnormalities. In particular, in the analysis of an integrative oncogenomics study with a time-course set-up our method finds genes previously reported to be involved in cervical carcinogenesis. Furthermore, the proposed method yields improvements in sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility compared to existing methods. Finally, the proposed method is able to handle count (RNAseq) data from time course experiments as is shown on a real data set.Electronic supplementary material

The coordinated regulation of protein kinases is a rapid mechanism that integrates diverse cues and swiftly determines appropriate cellular responses. However, our understanding of cellular decision‐making has been limited by the small number of simultaneously monitored phospho‐regulatory events. Here, we have estimated changes in activity in 215 human kinases in 399 conditions derived from a large compilation of phosphopeptide quantifications. This atlas identifies commonly regulated kinases as those that are central in the signaling network and defines the logic relationships between kinase pairs. Co‐regulation along the conditions predicts kinase–complex and kinase–substrate associations. Additionally, the kinase regulation profile acts as a molecular fingerprint to identify related and opposing signaling states. Using this atlas, we identified essential mediators of stem cell differentiation, modulators of Salmonella infection, and new targets of AKT1. This provides a global view of human phosphorylation‐based signaling and the necessary context to better understand kinase‐driven decision‐making. 相似文献

To date, the FDA has approved 18 monoclonal antibody (MAb) therapeutic drugs with targets ranging from asthma and rheumatoid
arthritis to leukemia. Many of these approved products are produced in Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO) making CHO a significant
and relevant host system. We studied the applicability of CHOK1SV cells as a potential host cell line for MAb production in
terms of timelines, achievable titers, transfectant stability, and reproducibility. CHOK1SV, developed by Lonza Biologics,
is a suspension, protein-free-adapted CHOK1-derivative utilizing the glutamine synthetase (GS) gene expression system. CHOK1SV
expresses the GS enzyme endogenously; thus, positive transfectants were obtained under the dual selection of methionine sulfoximine
(MSX) and glutamine-free media. We examined outgrowth efficiencies, specific productivities, and achievable batch titers of
three different IgG MAbs transfected into CHOK1SV. Reducing the MSX concentration in the initial selection medium resulted
in a decreased incubation time required for transfectant colonies to appear. Specific productivities of “high-producers” ranged
between 11 and 49 pg/c/d with batch titers ranging from 105 to 519 mg/L. Transfectant stability and the effects of MSX also
were investigated, which indicated that the addition of MSX was necessary to maintain stable MAb production. Cell growth was
stable regardless of MSX concentration. 相似文献

Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO) have been extensively utilized as the production platform for therapeutic proteins including monoclonal antibodies in pharmaceutical industry. For early development, it would be advantageous to rapidly produce large amounts of protein in the same cell line; therefore, development of a CHO transient transfection platform with high protein expression level is highly desirable. Here, we describe the development of such a platform in CHO cells. Polyethylenimine (PEI) was used as the transfection reagent. Different media were screened for the best transfection and expression performance, and UltraCHO was chosen as the best performer. DMSO and lithium acetate (LiAc) were discovered to improve CHO transient transfection expression levels significantly. A 14‐day fed‐batch process was successfully developed to further increase production yield. With an optimized transient transfection process, we were able to express monoclonal antibody (Mab) in CHO cells at a high level, averaging 80 mg/L. The process was successfully scaled up to 10 L working volume in a 20 L wave bioreactor. As expected, the Mabs had similar glycosylation patterns in comparison to the Mabs produced from a stably transfected CHO cell line, while in contrast Mabs expressed transiently from HEK293EBNA cells differed.

Ribosomal RNA secondary structure: compensatory mutations and implications for phylogenetic analysis 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Using sequence data from the 28S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes of selected
vertebrates, we investigated the effects that constraints imposed by
secondary structure have on the phylogenetic analysis of rRNA sequence
data. Our analysis indicates that characters from both base-pairing regions
(stems) and non-base-pairing regions (loops) contain phylogenetic
information, as judged by the level of support of the phylogenetic results
compared with a well-established tree based on both morphological and
molecular data. The best results (the greatest level of support of
well-accepted nodes) were obtained when the complete data set was used.
However, some previously supported nodes were resolved using either the
stem or loop bases alone. Stem bases sustain a greater number of
compensatory mutations than would be expected at random, but the number is
< 40% of that expected under a hypothesis of perfect compensation to
maintain secondary structure. Therefore, we suggest that in phylogenetic
analyses, the weighting of stem characters be reduced by no more than 20%,
relative to that of loop characters. In contrast to previous suggestions,
we do not recommend weighting of stem positions by one-half, compared with
that of loop positions, because this overcompensates for the constraints
that selection imposes on the secondary structure of rRNA.
