Article Abstract
We describe a novel single sample gene set testing method for cancer transcriptomics data named tissue-adjusted pathway analysis of cancer (TPAC). The TPAC method leverages information about the normal tissue-specificity of human genes to compute a robust multivariate distance score that quantifies gene set dysregulation in each profiled tumor. Because the null distribution of the TPAC scores has an accurate gamma approximation, both population and sample-level inference is supported. As we demonstrate through an analysis of gene expression data for 21 solid human cancers from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and associated normal tissue expression data from the Human Protein Atlas (HPA), TPAC gene set scores are more strongly associated with patient prognosis than the scores generated by existing single sample gene set testing methods.

The cerambycid beetles are important components in the terrestrial ecosystem as they play a dual role in both degrading dying trees and killing healthy plants. The factors including human activity, habitat contraction, climate changes and pesticide use have been shaping the adaptation of beetles to host plants and the environment. As suggested in research on the functions of beetles' olfactory proteins, odorant binding proteins (OBPs) have been found to be involved in insecticide resistance other than chemoreception.

Motivation: Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) play an important role in facilitating the acquisition of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) within microbial communities, significantly impacting the evolution of antibiotic resistance. Understanding the mechanism and trajectory of ARG acquisition requires a comprehensive analysis of the ARG-carrying mobilome-a collective set of MGEs carrying ARGs. However, identifying the mobilome within complex microbiomes poses considerable challenges.

Transcription factors (TFs) are essential proteins that regulate gene expression by specifically binding to transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) within DNA sequences. Their ability to precisely control the transcription process is crucial for understanding gene regulatory networks, uncovering disease mechanisms, and designing synthetic biology tools. Accurate TFBS prediction, therefore, holds significant importance in advancing these areas of research.

Background: Enteric glial cells (EGCs) have been implicated in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression. This study aimed to develop and validate a prognostic model integrating EGC- and CRC-associated gene expression to predict patient survival, recurrence, metastasis, and therapy response.
Methods: Bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing data were analyzed, and a machine learning-based model was constructed using the RSF random forest algorithm.
