Abstract

Understanding the different genetic landscape between lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is important for understanding the underlying molecular mechanism, which may facilitate the development of effective and precise treatments. Although previous studies have identified a number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) responsible for lung cancer, it is unknown which of these genes are causal. The present study integrated DNA methylation, RNA sequencing, clinical characteristics and survival outcomes of patients with LUAD and LUSC from The Cancer Genome Atlas. DEGs were first identified using edgeR by comparing tumor and normal tissue, and differentially methylated probes (DMPs) were assessed using ChAMP. Candidate genes for further time-to-event instrumental variable analysis were selected as the intersecting genes between DEGs and the genes including DMP CpG sites within the transcription start site (TSS1500), with DMPs in TSS1500 region being the instrumental variables. Extensive sensitivity analyses were conducted to assess the robustness of the results. The present study identified 906 DEGs for LUAD, among which 538 also had DMPs in the TSS1500 region. In addition, 1,543 DEGs were identifie...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
