• Evolutionary origins of human apoptosis and genome-stability gene networks 

      Castro, Mauro Antônio Alves; Dalmolin, Rodrigo Juliani Siqueira; Moreira, Jose Claudio Fonseca; Mombach, Jose Carlos Merino; Almeida, Rita Maria Cunha de (2008) [Artigo de periódico]
      Apoptosis is essential for complex multicellular organisms and its failure is associated with genome instability and cancer. Interactions between apoptosis and genome-maintenance mechanisms have been extensively documented ...
    • Evolutionary plasticity determination by orthologous groups distribution 

      Dalmolin, Rodrigo Juliani Siqueira; Castro, Mauro Antônio Alves; Rybarczyk Filho, José Luiz; Souza, Luís Henrique Trentin de; Almeida, Rita Maria Cunha de; Moreira, Jose Claudio Fonseca (2011) [Artigo de periódico]
      Background: Genetic plasticity may be understood as the ability of a functional gene network to tolerate alterations in its components or structure. Usually, the studies involving gene modifications in the course of the ...
    • Impaired expression of NER gene network in sporadic solid tumors 

      Castro, Mauro Antônio Alves; Mombach, Jose Carlos Merino; Almeida, Rita Maria Cunha de; Moreira, Jose Claudio Fonseca (2007) [Artigo de periódico]
      Nucleotide repair genes are not generally altered in sporadic solid tumors. However, point mutations are found scattered throughout the genome of cancer cells indicating that the repair pathways are dysfunctional. To address ...
    • Preferential duplication of intermodular hub genes : an evolutionary signature in eukaryotes genome networks 

      Ferreira, Ricardo Melo; Rybarczyk Filho, José Luiz; Dalmolin, Rodrigo Juliani Siqueira; Castro, Mauro Antônio Alves; Moreira, Jose Claudio Fonseca; Brunnet, Leonardo Gregory; Almeida, Rita Maria Cunha de (2013) [Artigo de periódico]
      Whole genome protein-protein association networks are not random and their topological properties stem from genome evolution mechanisms. In fact, more connected, but less clustered proteins are related to genes that, in ...
