RNA sequencing (RNAseq) enables transcriptional profiling of many organisms. This chapter describes the use of RNAseq in prokaryotes to identify quorum sensing (QS)-controlled transcripts by comparing samples from QS-induced and -uninduced conditions. Briefly, each RNA sample is converted to ds-cDNA in a method that limits amplification of ribosomal RNA species. The ds-cDNA contains adapters that enable sequencing and quantification by next-generation sequencing (NGS).

Background: Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally, primarily due to late-stage diagnosis, molecular heterogeneity, and therapy resistance. Key biomarkers such as EGFR, ALK, KRAS, and PD-1 have revolutionized precision oncology; however, comprehensive structural and clinical validation of these targets is crucial to enhance therapeutic efficacy.
Methods: Protein sequences for EGFR, ALK, KRAS, and PD-1 were retrieved from UniProt and modeled using SWISS-MODEL to generate high-confidence 3D structures.

Phytophthora root rot caused by the hemibiotrophic oomycete, is a major biotic hindrance in meeting the ever-increasing demand for avocados. In addition, the pathogen is a global menace to agriculture, horticulture and forestry. Phosphite trunk injections and foliar sprays remain the most effective chemical management strategy used in commercial avocado orchards against the pathogen.

RNA N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) is a crucial chemical modification involved in various biological processes, influencing RNA properties and functions. Accurate prediction of RNA ac4C sites is essential for understanding the roles of RNA molecules in gene expression and cellular regulation. While existing methods have made progress in ac4C site prediction, they still struggle with limited accuracy and generalization.

Overdispersion is a common phenomenon in genetic data, such as gene expression count data. In genetic association studies, it is important to investigate the association between a gene expression and a set of genetic variants from a pathway. However, existing approaches for pathway analysis are primarily designed for continuous and binary outcomes and are not applicable to overdispersed count data.
