Expanding the Grammar of Biology
Michel Eduardo Beleza Yamagishi, Roberto Hirochi Herai
We metaphorically call "Grammar of Biology" a small field of genomic research, whose main objective is to search for intrinsic DNA sequence properties. Erwin Chargaff inaugurated i…
Chargaff's "Grammar of Biology": New Fractal-like Rules
Michel Eduardo Beleza Yamagishi, Roberto H. Herai
Chargaff once said that "I saw before me in dark contours the beginning of a grammar of Biology". In linguistics, "grammar" is the set of natural language rules, but we do not know…
BAK1 Gene Variation: the doubts remain
Michel E. Beleza Yamagishi
Dr. Hatchwell [2010] has proposed that the BAK1 gene variants were likely due to sequencing of a processed gene on chromosome 20. However, in response, Dr. Gottlieb and co-authors…
A Simpler Explanation to BAK1 Gene Variation in Aortic and Blood Tissues
Michel Eduardo Beleza Yamagishi
The explanation is that in aortic tissue (both diseased and nondiseased) a BAK1 pseudogene is expressed; while in the matching blood samples the actual BAK1 gene is expressed. This…
Nucleotide Frequencies in Human Genome and Fibonacci Numbers
Michel E. Beleza Yamagishi, Alex Itiro Shimabukuro
This work presents a mathematical model that establishes an interesting connection between nucleotide frequencies in human single-stranded DNA and the famous Fibonacci's numbers. T…
