We apply our method to the genotype-to-phenotype mapping of RNA molecules, and show that it can reliably measure neutral set sizes for molecules up to 100 bases. ...
Conclusions: The biological RNA structures we examined are more abundant than random structures. ...

Emergence of Hierarchical Modularity in Evolving Networks Uncovered by Phylogenomic Analysis
2019
Evolutionary Bioinformatics
Remarkably, phylogenomic analyses uncover this emergence in the rewiring of metabolomic and transcriptome-informed metabolic networks, the nanosecond dynamics of proteins, and evolving networks of metabolism ...
In the first phase, parts are at first weakly linked and associate variously. As they diversify, they compete with each other and are often selected for performance. ...
As expected, the 7 RNA families that are universal include functional RNA that is known to be very ancient, including ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules. ...

The role of noncoding RNAs in Parkinson's disease: biomarkers and associations with pathogenic pathways
2021
Journal of Biomedical Science
AbstractThe discovery of various noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) and their biological implications is a growing area in cell biology. ...
Increasing evidence has revealed canonical and noncanonical functions of long and small ncRNAs, including microRNAs, long ncRNAs (lncRNAs), circular RNAs, PIWI-interacting RNAs, and tRNA-derived fragments ...
With a mixture of small RNAs, since miRNAs (19-25 nt), piRNAs (25-31 nt) , and tRFs (14-36 nt) are all similar in size, they cannot be easily distinguished by examining their sizes. ...

Neutral evolution of model proteins: diffusion in sequence space and overdispersion
[article]
1998
arXiv
pre-print
We prove the existence of extended neutral networks in sequence space -- sequences can evolve until their similarity with the starting point is almost the same as for random sequences. ...
This result is in contrast with the simplest model of neutral evolution, which assumes a Poisson process for substitutions, and in qualitative agreement with biological data. ...

Ranking viruses: measures of positional importance within networks define core viruses for rational polyvalent vaccine development
2012
Computer applications in the biosciences : CABIOS
Conclusion: Our approach relies on the network structure of PRRSV but applies to any diverse RNA virus because it identifies subsets of viral variants that are most important to overall viral diversity ...
No single viral variant can induce sufficiently broad immunity, and incorporating all known naturally circulating variants into one multivalent vaccine is not feasible. ...
Although existing computational methods to account for viral diversity are powerful when investigating small numbers of sequences, the size of potential tree space and computational complexity increases ...

European Physical Journal B : Condensed Matter Physics
Typical pairs of sequences on a neutral network are nearly as different as randomly chosen sequences. ...
Thus we tentatively conjecture that neutral networks of different structures are typically well separated in sequence space. ...
