Small open reading frames (smORFs) of 100 codons or fewer are usually—if arbitrarily—
excluded from proteome annotations. Despite this, the genomes of many metazoans …

Transposable elements (TEs), also known as mobile elements (MEs), are interspersed
repeats that constitute a major fraction of the genomes of higher organisms. As one of their …

Transposable elements, often considered to be not important for survival, significantly
contribute to the evolution of transcriptomes, promoters, and proteomes. Reverse …

Although thousands of pseudogenes have been annotated in the human genome, their
transcriptional regulation, expression profiles and functional mechanisms are largely …

Estrogen drives key transcriptional changes in breast cancer and stimulates breast cancer
cells' growth with multiple mechanisms to coordinate transcription and translation. In …

Objective. Accumulating evidence suggests that pseudogenes play potential roles in the
regulation of their cognate wild‐type genes, oncogenes, and tumor suppressor genes …

Background GGC and GCC short tandem repeats (STRs) are of various evolutionary,
biological, and pathological implications. However, the fundamental two-repeats (dyads) of …

In the post-genomic era, our understanding of the molecular regulators of physiologic and
pathologic processes in pregnancy is expanding at the whole-genome level. Longitudinal …

There are more than 350 species of amphipods (Crustacea) in Lake Baikal, which have
emerged predominantly through the course of endemic radiation. This group represents a …

Background The mammary gland is a unique organ for milk synthesis, secretion and
storage, and it undergoes cyclical processes of development, differentiation, lactation and …
