Abstract
Epigenetics functions as a bridge between host genetic & environmental factors, aiding in human health and diseases. Many immune-related diseases, including infectious and allergic diseases, have been linked to epigenetic mechanisms, particularly DNA methylation. In this review, we summarized an updated overview of DNA methylation and its importance in personalized medicine, and demonstrated that DNA methylation has excellent potential for disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment in a personalized manner. The future implications and limitations of the DNA methylation study have also been well-discussed.

Abstract
Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination is a prototype model for the study of trained immunity (TI) in humans, and results in a more effective response of innate immune cells upon stimulation with heterologous stimuli. Here, we investigate the heterogeneity of TI induction by single-cell RNA sequencing of immune cells collected from 156 samples. We observe that both monocytes and CD8+ T cells show heterologous transcriptional responses to lipopolysaccharide, with an active crosstalk between these two cell types. Furthermore, the interferon-γ pathway is crucial in BCG-induced TI, and it is upregulated in functional high responders. Data-driven analyses and functional experiments reveal STAT1 to be one of the important transcription factors for TI shared in all identified monocyte subpopulations. Finally, we report the role of type I interferon-related and neutrophil-related TI transcriptional programs in patients with sepsis. These findings provide comprehensive insights into the importance of monocyte heterogeneity during TI in humans.

Abstract
To date, numerous nucleotide, amino acid, and codon substitution models have been developed to estimate the evolutionary history of any sequence/organism in a more comprehensive way. Out of these three, the codon substitution model is the most powerful. These models have been utilized extensively to detect selective pressure on a protein, codon usage bias, ancestral reconstruction and phylogenetic reconstruction. However, due to more computational demanding, in comparison to nucleotide and amino acid substitution models, only a few studies have employed the codon substitution model to understand the heterogeneity of the evolutionary process in a genome-scale analysis. Hence, there is always a question of how to develop more robust but less computationally demanding codon substitution models to get more accurate results. In this review article, the authors attempted to understand the basis of the development of different types of codon-substitution models and how this information can be utilized to develop more robust but less computationally demanding codon substitution models. The codon substitution model enables to detect selection regime under which any gene or gene region is evolving, codon usage bias in any organism or tissue-specific region and phylogenetic relationship between different lineages more accurately than nucleotide and amino acid substitution models. Thus, in the near future, these codon models can be utilized in the field of conservation, breeding and medicine.

Abstract
The ongoing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is caused by the highly infectious Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). There is an urgent need for biomarkers that will help in better stratification of patients and contribute to personalized treatments. We performed targeted proteomics using the Olink platform and systematically investigated protein concentrations in 350 hospitalized COVID-19 patients, 186 post-COVID-19 individuals, and 61 healthy individuals from 3 independent cohorts. Results revealed a signature of acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, which is represented by inflammatory biomarkers, chemokines and complement-related factors. Furthermore, the circulating proteome is still significantly affected in post-COVID-19 samples several weeks after infection. Post-COVID-19 individuals are characterized by upregulation of mediators of the tumor necrosis (TNF)-α signaling pathways and proteins related to transforming growth factor (TGF)-ß. In addition, the circulating proteome is able to differentiate between patients with different COVID-19 disease severities, and is associated with the time after infection. These results provide important insights into changes induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection at the proteomic level by integrating several cohorts to obtain a large disease spectrum, including variation in disease severity and time after infection. These findings could guide the development of host-directed therapy in COVID-19.

Abstract
Recent genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of COVID-19 patients of European ancestry have identified genetic loci significantly associated with disease severity. Here, we employed the detailed clinical, immunological and multi-omics dataset of the Human Functional Genomics Project (HFGP) to explore the physiological significance of the host genetic variants that influence susceptibility to severe COVID-19. A genomics investigation intersected with functional characterization of individuals with high genetic risk for severe COVID-19 susceptibility identified several major patterns: i. a large impact of genetically determined innate immune responses in COVID-19, with ii. increased susceptibility for severe disease in individuals with defective cytokine production; iii. genetic susceptibility related to ABO blood groups is probably mediated through the von Willebrand factor (VWF) and endothelial dysfunction. We further validated these identified associations at transcript and protein levels by using independent disease cohorts. These insights allow a physiological understanding of genetic susceptibility to severe COVID-19, and indicate pathways that could be targeted for prevention and therapy.

Abstract
The majority of COVID-19 patients experience mild to moderate disease course and recover within a few weeks. An increasing number of studies characterized the long-term changes in the specific anti-SARS-CoV-2 immune responses, but how COVID-19 shapes the innate and heterologous adaptive immune system after recovery is less well known. To comprehensively investigate the post-SARS-CoV-2 infection sequelae on the immune system, we performed a multi-omics study by integrating single-cell RNA-sequencing, single-cell ATAC-sequencing, genome-wide DNA methylation profiling, and functional validation experiments in 14 convalescent COVID-19 and 15 healthy individuals. We showed that immune responses generally recover without major sequelae after COVID-19. However, subtle differences persist at the transcriptomic level in monocytes, with downregulation of the interferon pathway, while DNA methylation also displays minor changes in convalescent COVID-19 individuals. However, these differences did not affect the cytokine production capacity of PBMCs upon different bacterial, viral, and fungal stimuli, although baseline release of IL-1Ra and IFN-γ was higher in convalescent individuals. In conclusion, we propose that despite minor differences in epigenetic and transcriptional programs, the immune system of convalescent COVID-19 patients largely recovers to the homeostatic level of healthy individuals.

Abstract
Humans have a great diversity in phenotypes, influenced by genetic, environmental, nutritional, cultural, and social factors. Understanding the historical trends of physiological traits can shed light on human physiology, as well as elucidate the factors that influence human diseases. Here we built genome-wide polygenic scores for heritable traits, including height, body mass index, lipoprotein concentrations, cardiovascular disease, and intelligence, using summary statistics of genome-wide association studies in Europeans. Subsequently, we applied these scores to the genomes of ancient European populations. Our results revealed that after the Neolithic, European populations experienced an increase in height and intelligence scores, decreased their skin pigmentation, while the risk for coronary artery disease increased through a genetic trajectory favoring low HDL concentrations. These results are a reflection of the continuous evolutionary processes in humans and highlight the impact that the Neolithic revolution had on our lifestyle and health.

Abstract
Cholinesterase enzymes such as acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) cause hydrolysis of acetylcholine (ACh), a neurotransmitter responsible for the cognitive functions of the brain such as acquiring knowledge and comprehension. Therefore, inhibition of these enzymes is an effective process to curb the progressive and fatal neurological Alzheimer's disease (AD). Herein, we explored the potential inhibitory activities of various pyridine, quinoxaline, and triazine derivatives (3a-k, 6a-j and 11a-h) against AChE and BuChE enzymes by following the modified Ellman's method. Further, anti-oxidant property of these libraries was monitored using DPPH (2,2'-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazylhydrate) radical scavenging analysis. From the studies, we identified that compounds 6e, 6f, 11b and 11f behaved as selective AChE inhibitors with IC50 values ranging from 7.23 to 10.35 μM. Further studies revealed good anti-oxidant activity by these compounds with IC50 values in the range of 14.80-27.22 μM. The kinetic studies of the active analogues demonstrated mixed-type of inhibition due to their interaction with both the catalytic active sites (CAS) and peripheral anionic sites (PAS) of the AChE. Additionally, molecular simulation in association with fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopic analyses explained strong affinities of inhibitors to bind with AChE enzyme at the physiological pH of 7.2. Binding constant values of 5.4 × 104, 4.3 × 104, 3.2 × 104 and 4.9 × 104 M-1 corresponding to free energy changes -5.593, -6.799, -6.605 and -8.104 KcalM-1 were obtained at 25 °C from fluorescence emission spectroscopic studies of 6e, 6f, 11b and 11f, respectively. Besides, CD spectroscopy deliberately explained the secondary structure of AChE partly unfolded upon binding with these dynamic molecules. Excellent in vitro profiles of distinct quinoxaline and triazine compounds highlighted them as the potential leads compared to pyridine derivatives, suggesting a path towards developing preventive or therapeutic targets to treat the Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
The immune system plays a vital role in health and disease, and is regulated through a complex interactive network of many different immune cells and mediators. To understand the complexity of the immune system, we propose to apply a multi-omics approach in immunological research. This review provides a complete overview of available methodological approaches for the different omics data layers relevant for immunological research, including genetics, epigenetics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and cellomics. Thereafter, we describe the various methods for data analysis as well as how to integrate different layers of omics data. Finally, we discuss the possible applications of multi-omics studies and opportunities they provide for understanding the complex regulatory networks as well as immune variation in various immune-related diseases.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks second for incidence in females (third in males). Currently, a broad spectrum of treatment options exists for the treatment of colorectal tumors. However, existing therapeutic options often lead to trauma, side effects, and high cost. Hence, there is an ongoing quest to detect novel approaches for the treatment of colon cancer. Recently, multiple studies have reported that consuming functional foods that are loaded with natural compounds can prevent the risk of CRC. In this review, the authors have attempted to collect information about the best possible foods and their active ingredients that may be used in treatment. Information retrieved through research reveals that all functional foods have aroma, taste, and nutritive value along with active ingredients that are beneficial for human health. For instance, the consumption of red meat increases CRC risk; on the other hand, the consumption of fresh vegetables diminishes such risk. Additionally, plant-based diets comprise fibers, bioactive compounds, and micronutrients, which are reported to have antioxidant as well as anticancer properties. Bioactively rich functional foods have been reported to provide protection against CRC. However, few active components like curcumin work in a dose-dependent manner. Thus, the involvement of medical practitioners during a clinical trial is highly recommended. In general, these active dietary components may aid in improving the health and well-being of patients as well as in managing the risk associated with cancer in a more comprehensive way.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuroblastoma (NBM) is the second leading pediatric cancer that develops from the precursors of the sympathetic nervous system. To date, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation serve as the first line treatment against NBM in high-risk patients. However, few of these approaches have severe side effects. Recently, numerous studies have also reported that high chemotherapy doses, along with stem cell rescue, improvise event-free survival in patients. OBJECTIVES In this review, the authors attempted to discuss the pathogenesis associated with NBM and how stem cell therapy can be employed for the treatment of NBM. CONCLUSIONS Stem cells are a group of multipotent undifferentiated cells that are capable of producing all cells in a particular tissue, organ, or organism. They have an endogenous self-renewal property. This property is tightly modulated for the normal homeostasis within the body. However, the failure of this process leads to carcinogenesis, including NBM. As these properties are modulated via various intrinsic as well as extrinsic pathways, the arrest of these pathways via various drugs may help in controlling various carcinomas, including NBM. Recently, stem cells used diagnosis and therapy is widely for the NBM treatments. Nevertheless, most of the studies conducted to date are mainly designed on bulk-cell analysis, which in turn provides little information about the population of cells. Thus, the authors believe that, by employing single-cell RNA sequencing technologies and computational approaches, we can unmask the tumor heterogeneity in NBM in a more comprehensive way. In the near future, this information will be highly useful for the identification of biomarkers and treatment associated with NBM in humans.

Abstract
The recently developed phylogenomic approach provides a unique way to identify disease risk or protective allele in any organism. While risk alleles evolve mostly under purifying selection, protective alleles are evolving either under balancing or positive selection. Owing to insufficient information, authors employed the phylogenomic approach to detect the nature of selection acting on type 2 diabetes (T2D) genes in Drosophila genus using various models of CODEML utility of PAML. The obtained result revealed that T2D gene sequences are evolving under purifying selection. However, only a few sites in membrane proteins encoded via CG8051, ZnT35C, and kar, are significantly evolving under positive selection under specific scenarios, which might be because of positive or adaptive evolution in response to changing niche, diet or other factors. In the near future, this information will be highly useful in the field of evolutionary medicine and the drug discovery process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuroblastoma (NB) is the second leading extracranial solid tumors of early childhood and clinically characterized by the presence of round, small, monomorphic cells with excess nuclear pigmentation (hyperchromasia).Owing to a lack of definitive treatment against NB and less survival rate in high-risk patients, there is an urgent requirement to understand molecular mechanisms associated with NB in a better way, which in turn can be utilized for developing drugs towards the treatment of NB in human. OBJECTIVES In this review, an approach was adopted to understand major risk factors, pathophysiology, the molecular mechanism associated with NB, and various therapeutic agents that can serve as drugs towards the treatment of NB in humans. CONCLUSION Numerous genetic (e.g., MYCN amplification), perinatal, and gestational factors are responsible for developing NB. However, no definite environmental or parental exposures responsible for causing NB have been confirmed to date. Though intensive multimodal treatment approaches, namely, chemotherapy, surgery & radiation, may help in improving the survival rate in children, these approaches have several side effects and do not work efficiently in high-risk patients. However, recent studies suggested that numerous phytochemicals, namely, vincristine, and matrine have a minimal side effect in the human body and may serve as a therapeutic drug during the treatment of NB. Most of these phytochemicals work in a dose-dependent manner and hence must be prescribed very cautiously. The information discussed in the present review will be useful in the drug discovery process as well as treatment and prevention on NB in humans.

Abstract
Mutation (p.LEU112PRO) in "carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 8" (CCD8) protein increases tiller formation in rice plants by cross-talking with auxin and cytokinins. However, owing to the nonexistence of a "three-dimension" structure of CCD8, detail information about its structure and function remain elusive until date. Hence, in the present study, computational approaches were adopted to predict "three-dimensional" (3D) structure of CCD8 protein through comparative modeling techniques and to study the effect of mutation (p.LEU112PRO) on its function as well as architecture through "molecular dynamics" simulation studies. The obtained result reveals that wild-type CCD8 protein is made up of 10 α-helix and 25 β-strands while mutant CCD8 is made up of 11 α-helix and 24 β-strands. Further, molecular docking studies reveals that the wild-type has a better binding affinity with auxin and cytokinin in comparison to mutant. Subsequent molecular dynamics simulation of these four complexes, separately, reveals that the movement of both wild-type as well as mutant CCD8 get reduced after binding with auxin, which in turn prevent auxin transport out of the bud and increases tiller number. However, when cytokinin binds with wild-type and mutant CCD8, it inhibits and enhance CCD8 activity, respectively. As cytokinin positively regulates tiller number formation, enhance activity of mutant CCD8 after binding with cytokinin might be the main reason for more tiller number in mutant than wild-type plant. In the near future, mutant CCD8 along with auxin and cytokinin may be utilized for increasing grain yield in rice plants.

Abstract
Continuous rise in the human population has resulted in an upsurge in food demand, which in turn demand grain yield enhancement of cereal crops, including rice. Rice yield is estimated via the number of tillers, grain number per panicles, and the number of spikes present per panicle. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) serve as one of the best ways to introduce QTLs/gene associated with yield in the rice plant. MAS has also been employed effectively in dissecting several other complex agricultural traits, for instance, drought, cold tolerance, salinity, etc. in rice plants. Thus, in this review, authors attempted to collect information about various genes/QTLs associated with high yield, including grain number, in rice and how different scheme of MAS can be employed to introduce them in rice (Oryza sativa L.) plant, which in turn will enhance rice yield. Information obtained to date suggest that, numerous QTLs, e.g., Gn1a, Dep1, associated with grain number and yield-related traits, have been identified either via mapping or cloning approaches. These QTLs have been successfully introduced into rice plants using various schemes of MAS for grain yield enhancement in rice. However, sometimes, MAS does not perform well in breeding, which might be due to lack of resources, skilled labors, reliable markers, and high costs associated with MAS. Thus, by overcoming these problems, we can enhance the application of MAS in plant breeding, which, in turn, may help us in increasing yield, which subsequently may help in bridging the gap between demand and supply of food for the continuously growing population.

Abstract
Recent outbreak of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic around the world is associated with ‘severe acute respiratory syndrome’ (SARS-CoV2) in humans. SARS-CoV2 is an enveloped virus and E proteins present in them are reported to form ion channels, which is mainly associated with pathogenesis. Thus, there is always a quest to inhibit these ion channels, which in turn may help in controlling diseases caused by SARS-CoV2 in humans. Considering this, in the present study, authors employed computational approaches for studying the structure as well as function of the human ‘SARS-CoV2 E’ protein as well as its interaction with various phytochemicals. Result obtained revealed that α-helix and loops present in this protein experience random movement under optimal condition, which in turn modulate ion channel activity; thereby aiding the pathogenesis caused via SARS-CoV2 in human and other vertebrates. However, after binding with Belachinal, Macaflavanone E, and Vibsanol B, the random motion of the human ‘SARS-CoV2 E’ protein gets reduced, this, in turn, inhibits the function of the ‘SARS-CoV2 E’ protein. It is pertinent to note that two amino acids, namely VAL25 and PHE26, play a key role while interacting with these three phytochemicals. As these three phytochemicals, namely, Belachinal, Macaflavanone E & Vibsanol B, have passed the ADMET (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion and Toxicity) property as well as ‘Lipinski’s Rule of 5s’, they may be utilized as drugs in controlling disease caused via SARS-COV2, after further investigation.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is clinically characterized via hyperglycemia. Polymorphism rs5219 in the KCNJ11 gene is a risk factor for developing T2D in humans. KCNJ11 encodes the 'inward-rectifier potassium ion channel (Kir6.2)'. However, because of the absence of the complete crystal/NMR structures of Kir6.2 proteins, insight into its structure and function and its interaction with diverse ligands remain elusive to date. Therefore, a computational approach was employed for predicting the best plausible 'three-dimensional' structure of Kir6.2 as well as for studying the influence of mutation (p. GLU23LYS) on both architectures as well as the function of Kir6.2 employing simulation studies. Results obtained revealed that though, with increased time, 'Gibbs free energy' becomes positive, residues in wild type Kir6.2 experiences less random movement as compared to mutant Kir6.2. The less random movement of residues in wild type Kir6.2 represents the standard coupling between open and closing of 'KATP channel' and thus the normal secretion of insulin. The more dispersed motion of mutant Kir6.2 residues represents 'overactivity' of the 'KATP channel' and thus insulin 'under-secretion'. Further, molecular docking and simulation studies identified two phytochemicals/drugs, namely, A-348441 and chushizisin I, which retains the wild type property of Kir6.2 after binding with mutant protein. Unlike A-348441, this is for the first time, the present study is reporting about the plausible anti-diabetic property of chushizisin I. As these two phytochemicals/drugs, namely, A-348441 and chushizisin I, have passed ADMET test, in the near future, they may be utilized as anti-diabetic drugs after further investigation.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Background:
Colorectal cancer is the third important cause of cancer-associated deaths across the world.
Hence, there is an urgent need for understanding the complete mechanism associated with colorectal cancer, which in
turn can be utilized toward early detection as well as the treatment of colorectal cancer in humans. Though colorectal
cancer is a complex process and chemotherapy is the first step toward the treatment of colorectal cancer, recently
several studies suggested that dietary phytochemicals may also aid significantly in reducing colorectal cancer risk in
human. However, only few phytochemicals, specifically curcumin derived from the rhizomes of Curcuma longa,
have better chemotherapeutic property, which might be because of its ability to regulate the activity of key factors
associated with the initiation, promotion, as well as progression of tumors.
Objectives:
In the present review, the authors made an attempt to summarize the physiochemical properties of curcumin,
which in turn prevent colorectal cancer via regulating numerous cell signaling as well as genetic pathways.
Conclusions:
Accumulated evidence suggested that curcumin suppresses tumour/colon cancer in various ways, (a)
restricting cell cycle progression, or stimulating apoptosis, (b) restricting angiogenesis, anti-apoptotic proteins expression,
cell survival signaling pathways & their cross-communication and (c) regulating immune responses. The
information discussed in the present review will be useful in the drug discovery process as well as the treatment and
prevention of colorectal cancer in humans.

Abstract
AbstractThe fast climate change affects yield in Vigna mungo via enhancing both biotic and abiotic stresses. Out of all factors, the yellow mosaic disease has the most damaging effect. However, due to lack of reference genome of Vigna mungo, the complete mechanism associated with MYMIV (Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Indian Virus) resistance in Vigna mungo remain elusive to date. Considering this, the authors made an attempt to release new transcriptome and its annotation by employing computational approaches. Quality assessment of the generated transcriptomes reveals that it successfully aligned with 99.03% of the raw reads and hence can be employed for future research. Functional annotation of the transcriptome reveals that 31% and ∼14% of the total transcripts encode lncRNAs and protein-coding sequences, respectively. Further, analysis reveals that, out of total transcripts, only 4536 and 78808 are significantly down and up-regulated during MYMIV infection in Vigna mungo, respectively. These significant transcripts are mainly associated with ribosome, spliceosome, glycolysis /gluconeogenesis, RNA transport, oxidative phosphorylation, protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, MAPK signaling pathway - plant, methionine and cysteine metabolism, purine metabolism and RNA degradation. Unlike the previous study, this is for the first time, the present study identified these pathways may play key role in MYMIV resistance in Vigna mungo. Thus, information and transcriptomes data available in the present study make a significant contribution to understanding the genomic structure of Vigna mungo, enabling future analyses as well as downstream applications of gene expression, sequence evolution, and genome annotation.

Abstract
Cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase (CKX) is the only known enzyme associated with irreversible degradation of cytokinins in plants. CKX2 contains flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) domain. Earlier studies utilising antisense & hpRNAi suppression techniques in mutant/transgenic rice plants revealed that when CKX2 binds with FAD, CKX2 expression reduces, which in turn causes cytokinin aggregation in inflorescence meristem that subsequently enhances both branches and grain number resulting in increased grain yield. Owing to the non-existence of complete three-dimensional structure of CKX2, insight into the structure and function of CKX2 and its relationship with its cofactor FAD is still a topic of debate. In the present study, computational approach was employed to estimate the three-dimensional structure of CKX2 through comparative modelling approach. Later, CKX2 and FAD interaction study was performed to understand the underlying mechanism involved with reduced expression of CKX2. Molecular dynamic simulation studies of both CKX2 and CKX-FAD complex revealed that after binding with FAD, CKX2 experienced increased pressure and reduced RMSD, potential energy and free energy landscape energy, which in turn lessen anti-correlation between almost all α and β strands and random motion of C-α, subsequently reducing CKX2 expression. In near future, these information can be utilised for increasing rice yield under irrigated field condition by introgression of Gn1a gene through marker assisted back-crossing breeding.

Abstract
In silico approach was utilised to identify differentially expressed key hub genes during BPH infestation on Bt rice plant, under laboratory conditions. Re-analysis of GSE74745 data with in-house R scripts and STRING database reveals that only 5 key hub genes, namely Os05g0176100, Os06g0683200, Os07g0208500, Os07g0252400 and Os07g0424400, belonging to cellulose synthase family, are differentially expressed and have confidence score ≥0.9 among themselves. Conserve domain analysis of all proteins encoded via these 5 key hub genes reveals that they have a common cellulose synthase domain, in which "Plant-Conserved Region" (PCR) is highly conserved. After binding with other domains of cellulose synthase proteins or other accessory proteins, like sucrose synthase, PCR serves as a metabolic channel to deliver UDP-Glucose, which is the main substrate for cellulose synthesis, into the active site of cellulose synthase and initiate cellulose synthesis. Simulation study of recently solved topological model of PCR [PDB ID: 5JNP] and molecular docking studies of PCR with UDP-glucose reveals that, during BPH infestation, in nearby phloem tissue where BPH suck sap, there is an increase interaction of UDP-glucose with PCR and other accessory proteins which in turn increases both the stability of PCR and the production of cellulose, finally causing callose deposition at that site and hence causing longer nymphal developmental period and lower fertility of BPH infested on Bt rice. In near future, these differentially identified 5 hub genes could be possible targets for controlling BPH infestation in rice plant under field conditions and increasing rice yield globally.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is clinically characterized by hyperglycemia. Though many studies have been done to understand the mechanism of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), however, the complete network of diabetes and its associated disorders through polygenic involvement is still under debate. The present study designed to re-analyze publicly available T2D related microarray raw datasets present in GEO database and T2D genes information present in GWAS catalog for screening out differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and identify key hub genes associated with T2D. T2D related microarray data downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and re-analysis performed with in house R packages scripts for background correction, normalization and identification of DEGs in T2D. Also retrieved T2D related DEGs information from GWAS catalog. Both DEGs lists were grouped after removal of overlapping genes. These screened DEGs were utilized further for identification and characterization of key hub genes in T2D and its associated diseases using STRING, WebGestalt and Panther databases. Computational analysis reveal that out of 99 identified key hub gene candidates from 348 DEGs, only four genes (CCL2, ELMO1, VEGFA and TCF7L2) along with FOS playing key role in causing T2D and its associated disorders, like nephropathy, neuropathy, rheumatoid arthritis and cancer via p53 or Wnt signaling pathways. MIR-29, and MAZ_Q6 are identified potential target microRNA and TF along with probable drugs alprostadil, collagenase and dinoprostone for the key hub gene candidates. The results suggest that identified key DEGs may play promising roles in prevention of diabetes.

Abstract
Rising burden of diabetes in India requires quick intervention that integrates policies and programs for effective prevention and control of disease. This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted to observe effect of diet in two Indian communities practicing sedentary lifestyle. Fasting blood samples were analyzed for blood sugar, glycated-hemoglobin (HbA1C), and lipid profile. Body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) measurements were recorded. Diabetes incidence was lower in lacto-vegetarian (1.7%) than in non-vegetarian group (5.3%) despite similar lipid profiles and BMI/WC between the groups. Fasting blood sugar (FBS) was positively correlated with LDL and VLDL levels and negatively correlated with HDL, only in lacto-vegetarian group. Study suggests: (1) Indian lacto-vegetarian diet has beneficial effects on diabetes incidence irrespective of high body weight and sedentary lifestyle; (2) intervention to reduce body lipids, such as lipid-lowering drugs and exercise, may have greater effect in reducing FBS levels in this lacto-vegetarian group.

Abstract
In-silico attempt was made to identify the key hub genes which get differentially expressed in biliary stricture and hepatic carcinoma. Gene expression data, GSE34166, was downloaded from the GEO database, which contains 10 biliary stricture samples (4 benign control and 6 malignant carcinoma), for screening of key hub genes associated with the disease. R packages scripts were identified 85 differentially expressed genes. Further these genes were uploaded in WebGestalt database and identified nine key genes. Using STRING database and Gephi software, the protein-protein interaction networks were constructed and also studied gene ontology through WebGestalt. Finally, we identified four key genes (CXCR4, ADH1C, ABCB1 and ADH1A) are associated with liver carcinoma and further cross-validated with Liverome, Protein Atlas database and bibliography. In addition, transcription factors and their binding sites also studied. These identified hub genes and their transcription factors are the probable potential targets for possible future drug design.

Abstract
With the advent of age of big data and advances in high throughput technology accessing data has become one of the most
important step in the entire knowledge discovery process. Most users are not able to decipher the query result that is obtained
when non specific keywords or a combination of keywords are used. Intelligent access to sequence and structure databases
(IASSD) is a desktop application for windows operating system. It is written in Java and utilizes the web service description
language (wsdl) files and Jar files of E-utilities of various databases such as National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)
and Protein Data Bank (PDB). Apart from that IASSD allows the user to view protein structure using a JMOL application which
supports conditional editing.
