The Role of Neuregulin 1 in Schizophrenia: A Bioinformatics Approach
Context: Notwithstanding the great number of studies on the etiology and pathophysiology of schizophrenia, both issues remain far from being fully understood. Schizophrenia seems to be related to…

Genes of the serotonergic and dopaminergic pathways and their interaction affect the expression of Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms in Dementia (BPSD).
Although there is evidence for the involvement of genes of serotonergic and dopaminergic systems in the manifestation of the Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms in Dementia (BPSD), genetic assoc…

A Unifying Scenario on the Origin and Evolution of Cellular and Viral Domains
The cellular theory on the nature of life has been one of the first major advancements in biology. Viruses, however, are the most abundant life forms, and their exclusion from mainstream biology an…

The Origin and Evolution of Viruses as Molecular Organisms
Viruses are the most abundant life forms and the repertoire of viral genes is greater than that of cellular genes. It is also evident that viruses have played a major role in driving cellular evolu…

Chromosomal mutational algebra: a new algebra to manipulate chromosomal mutation
This study leads to a new algebra. An algebra is defined on the common mechanisms of chromosomal mutation. The algebra (SΨ(C), *, ’, Δ, D) is constructed for a given C and Ψ...

Genome-scale approach proves that the lungfish-coelacanth sister group is the closest living relative of tetrapods with the BEST program
The origin of tetrapods has not been resolved for decades. Three principal hypotheses (lungfish-tetrapod, coelacanth-tetrapod, or lungfish-coelacanth sister group) have been proposed. We used the B…

Mega- change gene copies are produced by reverse transcription of precursor RNA with replaced introns.
This report describes the presence of copy genes in plants where the sequence similarity to their parental genes is almost completely limited to limited to the exons. Evidence is presented that ind…
