Article Abstract

Background: The growing power and ever decreasing cost of RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) technologies have resulted in an explosion of RNA-Seq data production. Comparing gene expression values within RNA-Seq datasets is relatively easy for many interdisciplinary biomedical researchers; however, user-friendly software applications increase the ability of biologists to efficiently explore available datasets.

Results: Here, we describe ROGUE (RNA-Seq Ontology Graphic User Environment, https://marisshiny.

Research: chop.edu/ROGUE/ ), a user-friendly R Shiny application that allows a biologist to perform differentially expressed gene analysis, gene ontology and pathway enrichment analysis, potential biomarker identification, and advanced statistical analyses. We use ROGUE to identify potential biomarkers and show unique enriched pathways between various immune cells.

Conclusions: User-friendly tools for the analysis of next generation sequencing data, such as ROGUE, will allow biologists to efficiently explore their datasets, discover expression patterns, and advance their research by allowing them to develop and test hypotheses.

Background: The dysregulation of long-chain noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) causes several complex human diseases including neurodegenerative disorders across the globe.

Methods And Results: This study aimed to investigate lncRNA expression profiles of Withania somnifera (WS)-treated human neuroblastoma SK-N-SH cells at different timepoints (3 & 9 h) and concentrations (50 & 100 µg/mL) using RNA sequencing. Differential gene expression analysis showed a total of 4772 differentially expressed lncRNAs, out of which 3971 were upregulated and 801 were downregulated compared to controls.

Pseudoduganella rhizocola sp. nov., Isolated from Rhizospheric Soil.

Curr Microbiol

September 2025

Department of Integrative Biotechnology, Sungkyunkwan University, Natural Science Campus, 2066 Seobu-ro, Jangan-Gu, Suwon-Si, Gyeonggi-Do, 16419, Republic of Korea.

A novel bacterial strain, SM-13 was isolated from the rhizospheric soil of Epipremnum aureum (Jade Pothos) sampled in Suwon, Republic of Korea. The isolate was Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, motile, rod-shaped, cream-coloured, oxidase- and catalase-positive. Strain SM-13 grew at the range of 15-37 °C (optimum, 25 °C), at pH 6.

Small Interfering RNA Therapy Targeting the Long Noncoding RNA SMILR for Therapeutic Intervention in Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Failure.

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery remains the gold standard of care to prevent myocardial ischemia in patients with advanced atherosclerosis; however, poor long-term graft patency remains a considerable and long-standing problem. Excessive vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation in the grafted tissue is recognized as central to late CABG failure. We previously identified SMILR, a human-specific SMC-enriched long noncoding RNA that drives SMC proliferation, suggesting that targeting SMILR expression could be a novel way to prevent neointima formation, and thus CABG failure.

Abnormal expression of HLA class Ib, MICA and MICB molecules is associated with the evolution of pathological conditions and clinical settings. Here, we use RNA-sequencing data from two publicly-available projects, from different human organs and tissues and at single-cell level, to present their transcriptional expression throughout the human body, in comparison to that of HLA class Ia, HLA class II, their costimulatory molecules, and the main HLA transcription factors. Our analyses for 21 target genes reveal that median gene expression differs by orders of magnitude and that the classical/non-classical HLA distinction is not absolute for overall expression.
