  • Biocuration 2016 - Posters
    Biocuration 2016 - Posters Source: http://www.sib.swiss/events/biocuration2016/posters 1 RAM: A standards-based database for extracting and analyzing disease-specified concepts from the multitude of biomedical resources Jinmeng Jia and Tieliu Shi Each year, millions of people around world suffer from the consequence of the misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment of various disease, especially those intractable diseases and rare diseases. Integration of various data related to human diseases help us not only for identifying drug targets, connecting genetic variations of phenotypes and understanding molecular pathways relevant to novel treatment, but also for coupling clinical care and biomedical researches. To this end, we built the Rare disease Annotation & Medicine (RAM) standards-based database which can provide reference to map and extract disease-specified information from multitude of biomedical resources such as free text articles in MEDLINE and Electronic Medical Records (EMRs). RAM integrates disease-specified concepts from ICD-9, ICD-10, SNOMED-CT and MeSH (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/MBrowser.html) extracted from the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) based on the UMLS Concept Unique Identifiers for each Disease Term. We also integrated phenotypes from OMIM for each disease term, which link underlying mechanisms and clinical observation. Moreover, we used disease-manifestation (D-M) pairs from existing biomedical ontologies as prior knowledge to automatically recognize D-M-specific syntactic patterns from full text articles in MEDLINE. Considering that most of the record-based disease information in public databases are textual format, we extracted disease terms and their related biomedical descriptive phrases from Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) and Orphanet using UMLS Thesaurus.

    Elsevier Editorial System(tm) for Gene Manuscript Draft Manuscript Number: GENE-D-16-01776R1 Title: Maf1-mediated regulation of yeast RNA polymerase III is correlated with CCA addition at the 3' end of tRNA precursors Article Type: SI:RNA poly I,III,IV,V Keywords: Saccharomyces cerevisiae, pre-tRNA, tRNA processing, tRNA transcription, RNA-Seq, tRNA nucleotidyltransferase Corresponding Author: Prof. Magdalena Boguta, Corresponding Author's Institution: First Author: Dominika Foretek, Dr. Order of Authors: Dominika Foretek, Dr.; Przemyslaw Nuc, Dr.; Marek Zywicki, Dr.; Wojciech Karlowski, Prof.; Grzegorz Kudla, Dr.; Magdalena Boguta Manuscript Region of Origin: POLAND Abstract: In eukaryotic cells tRNA synthesis is negatively regulated by Maf1 protein, conserved from yeast to humans. Maf1 from yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae mediates repression of tRNA transcription when cells are transferred from medium with glucose to medium with glycerol, a non-fermentable carbon source. The strain with deleted gene encoding Maf1 precursors were analysed by RNA-Seq and Northern hybridization in wild t addition of the auxiliary CCA nucleotides to the 3' end of pre-tRNAs was observed in cells shifted to unfavourable growth conditions. This effect was reduced by overexpression of the yeast CCA1 gene encoding ATP(CTP):tRNA nucleotidyltransferase. CCA sequence at 3' end is important for export of tRNA precursors from the nucleus and essential for tRNA charging with amino acids. Data presented here indicate that CCA-addition to intron containing end-processed tRNA precursors is a limiting step in tRNA maturation when there is no Maf1 mediated RNA polymerase III (Pol III) repression. The correlation between CCA synthesis and Pol III regulation by Maf1 could be important in coordination of tRNA transcription, processing and regulation of translation.

To overcome the complexity of the maize genome, two sequencing technologies were employed: Illumina and Single Molecule Real-Time (SMRT) PacBio. Eleven thousand structural variants, 4 million SNPs and approximately 800 thousand indels differentiating the two genomes were identified. Detailed analyses allowed to identify 20 variations within the EPSPS gene, but all of them were predicted to have moderate or unknown effects on gene expression. Other genes of the shikimate pathway encoding bifunctional 3-dehydroquinate dehydratase/shikimate dehydrogenase and chorismate synthase were altered by variants predicted to have a high impact on gene expression.

The first five workshops gathered mostly Ph.D. students and senior researchers from two centers — University of Warsaw (Institute of In- formatics) and Poznań University of Technology (Institute of Computing Science). Since the last year the workshop is organized in a conjuction with the Convention of the Polish Bioinformatics Society and has a much wider representation of the centers and topics to be discussed. This year, due to the vast outcome of the call for presentations and the technical constraints imposed on the organizers, not all of the submitted talks could be accepted. The Program Committee after a thorough refereeing procedure included into the final program 29 talks. The accepted talks are concerned with several topics dominating current bioinformatics and computational biology areas.

E-mail: [email protected] Received 16 April 2014; Revised 28 July 2014; Accepted 29 July 2014 Abstract Heat stress is one of the major abiotic factors that can induce severe plant damage, leading to a decrease in crop plant productivity. Despite barley being a cereal of great economic importance, few data are available concerning its thermotolerance mechanisms. In this work microRNAs (miRNAs) involved in heat stress response in barley were investigated. The level of selected barley mature miRNAs was examined by hybridization. Quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to monitor the changes in the expression profiles of primary miRNA (pri-miRNA) precursors, as well as novel and conserved target genes during heat stress.

In this work, we report six novel barley microRNAs, including two processed from the same precursor that are severely downregulated under drought conditions. For all analyzed microRNAs, we found target genes that were upregulated under drought conditions and that were known to be involved in a plethora of processes from disease resistance to chromatin–protein complex formation and the regulation of transcription in mitochondria. Targets for novel barley microRNAs were confirmed through degradome data analysis and RT-qPCR using primers flanking microRNA-recognition site.
