Describe the genetic determinants of common epilepsies
Genetic determinants of common epilepsies are defined as the interaction of mutations in one of two unlinked genes, SCN1 and SCN2, which code for the proteins hamartin and epilepticin, respectively. Disruption of these genes has been found to be associated with epileptic encephalopathies, but it is not entirely clear if this translates directly to the increased risk for epilepsy or via epigenetic changes.The epilepsies are a clinically heterogeneous group of neurological disorders. Despite strong evidence for heritability, genome-wide association studies have had little success in identification of risk loci associated with epilepsy, probably because of relatively small sample sizes and insufficient power. Meta-analysis of an all-epilepsy cohort identified loci at 2q24.3 (p=8·71 × 10(-10)), implicating SCN1A, and at 4p15.1 (p=5·44 × 10(-9)), harbouring PCDH7, which encodes a protocadherin molecule. For the cohort of genetic generalised epilepsy, a single signal at 2p16.1 (p=9·99 × 10(-9)), implicating VRK2 or FANCL was noted. Data suggest that specific loci can act pleiotropically raising risk for epilepsy broadly, or can have effects limited to a specific epilepsy subtype.

What is the role of alcohol acyl transferases in fruit aroma?
Volatile esters, a major class of compounds contributing to the aroma of many fruit, are synthesized by alcohol acyl-transferases (AAT). The expression of all Cm-AAT genes is up-regulated during ripening and inhibited in antisense ACC oxidase melons and in fruit treated with the ethylene antagonist 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), indicating a positive regulation by ethylene.

Which subcortical brain structure is influenced the most by common genetic variants?
The highly complex structure of the human brain is strongly shaped by genetic influences. Subcortical brain regions form circuits with cortical areas to coordinate movement, learning, memory and motivation, and altered circuits can lead to abnormal behaviour and disease. Five novel genetic variants influencing the volumes of the putamen and caudate nucleus were identified. These variants show specific volumetric effects on brain structures rather than global effects across structures. The strongest effects were found for the putamen, where a novel intergenic locus with replicable influence on volume (rs945270; P = 1.08 × 10(-33); 0.52% variance explained) showed evidence of altering the expression of the KTN1 gene in both brain and blood tissue.Common genetic variants influence human subcortical brain structures.

Describe the Enhancing NeuroImaging Genetics through Meta-Analysis (ENIGMA) Consortium
The Enhancing NeuroImaging Genetics through Meta-Analysis (ENIGMA) Consortium is a collaborative network of researchers working together on a range of large-scale studies that integrate data from 70 institutions worldwide. Organized into Working Groups that tackle questions in neuroscience, genetics, and medicine, ENIGMA studies have analyzed neuroimaging data from over 12,826 subjects. In addition, data from 12,171 individuals were provided by the CHARGE consortium for replication of findings, in a total of 24,997 subjects. By meta-analyzing results from many sites, ENIGMA has detected factors that affect the brain that no individual site could detect on its own, and that require larger numbers of subjects than any individual neuroimaging study has currently collected. ENIGMA's first project was a genome-wide association study identifying common variants in the genome associated with hippocampal volume or intracranial volume. Continuing work is exploring genetic associations with subcortical volumes (ENIGMA2) and white matter microstructure (ENIGMA-DTI). Working groups also focus on understanding how schizophrenia, bipolar illness, major depression and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affect the brain.The Enhancing NeuroImaging Genetics through Meta-Analysis (ENIGMA) Consortium is a collaborative network of researchers working together on a range of large-scale studies that integrate data from 70 institutions worldwide.

What is a likely origin of intronless genes?
More than half of SEGs identified in most of the species have at least one ortholog multiple exon gene in the same genome, which provides insight to their possible origin by retrotranspositionThere is strong support for the idea that retrotransposition followed by tandem duplications is the most probable event that can explain the expansion of intronless or single-exon genes (SEG) in eukaryotic organisms. More than half of SEGs identified in most of the species have at least one ortholog multiple exon gene in the same genome, which provides insight to their possible origin by retrotransposition.The origin of intronless genes is most likely retrotranspositionIntronless genes (IGs) constitute approximately 3% of the human genome. Their origin is likely to be retrotransposition due to loss-of-function mutations or duplication.Genes without introns are a characteristic feature of prokaryotes, but there are still a number of intronless genes in eukaryotes. Most of these genes may have originated from retrotransposition rather than lineage-specific expansions of repeat elements.

Is the apilimod inhibitor effective against SARS-CoV-2?
To identify therapeutics that can be repurposed as SARS-CoV-2 antivirals, a library of known drugs encompassing approximately 12,000 clinical-stage or FDA-approved small molecules were profiled. In a study the identification of 30 known drugs that inhibit viral replication was reportedd. Of these, six were characterized for cellular dose-activity relationships, and showed effective concentrations likely to be commensurate with therapeutic doses in patients. These include the PIKfyve kinase inhibitor Apilimod, cysteine protease inhibitors MDL-28170, Z LVG CHN2, VBY-825, and ONO 5334, and the CCR1 antagonist MLN-3897. Since many of these molecules have advanced into the clinic, the known pharmacological and human safety profiles of these compounds will accelerate their preclinical and clinical evaluation for COVID-19 treatment.Yes, apilimod inhibition is effective for treatment of SARS-CoV-2.

Is SLIC-CAGE used for quantification of translation?
No. Cap analysis of gene expression (CAGE) is a method used for single-nucleotide resolution detection of RNA polymerase II transcription start sites (TSSs). Accurate detection of TSSs enhances identification and discovery of core promoters. In addition, active enhancers can be detected through signatures of bidirectional transcription initiation. Described here is a protocol for performing super-low input carrier-CAGE (SLIC-CAGE). The SLIC adaptation of the CAGE protocol minimizes RNA losses by artificially increasing the RNA amount through use of an in vitro transcribed RNA carrier mix that is added to the sample of interest, thus enabling library preparation from nanogram-amounts of total RNA (i.e., thousands of cells).No, the super-low input carrier-CAGE (SLIC-Cage) is not used for quantification of translation.

What are the two types of duplicated genes in the yeast S. cerevisiae?
Yeast genes are duplicated both via the whole genome duplication and via smaller scale duplications. The genome of the budding yeast contains 50% of protein-coding genes that are paralogs, including 457 pairs of duplicated genes coming probably from an ancient whole genome duplication.The mechanism of duplication matters, with whole-genome duplicates being more transcriptionally altered than small-scale duplicates.

What percentage of C. elegans genes reside in operons?
Nearly 15% of the ~20,000 C. elegans genes are contained in operons, multigene clusters controlled by a single promoter. Our evidence indicates that the genome contains at least 1,000 operons, 2 8 genes long, that contain about 15% of all C. elegans genes.Nearly 15% of the ~20,000 C. elegans genes are contained in operons, multigene clusters controlled by a single promoter.Approximately 15% of the genes in C. elegans are operons.Nearly 15% of the ~20,000 C. elegans genes are contained in operons, multigene clusters controlled by a single promoter. Both methods indicate that the pre-mRNAs of about 70% of Caenorhabditis elegans genes are trans-spliced and as many as a quarter are transcribed in these operons.about 15% of genes in Caenorhabditis elegans, a model organism belonging to Nematoda, reside in operons (Blumenthal et al. 2002; Blumenthal and Gleason 2003).
