Based on the results of running FIRE on 10 permuted sets of gene-function assignments, we can estimate an expected precision of 75.3% for discovering function-specific 5' UTR motifs and 84.8% for 3' UTR motifs.
This newly discovered function of LTPs opens up new possibilities for the engineering of biosynthesis pathways of high value terpenes in heterologous expression systems.
Each newly discovered function of natural or engineered nucleic acids enforces the view that prior assessments of nucleic acid function were far too narrow and that many more exciting findings are yet to come.
Another recently discovered function of SRSF1 is to enhance protein sumoylation [ 66].
A more recently discovered function of mTOR is in glucose metabolism.
The same situation was found in maize as well [ 48], indicating the yet less discovered function of miRNA*.
One recently discovered function of human CST is to negatively regulate excessive telomere extension by telomerase in S/G2 phase of the cell cycle (Chen et al., 2012).
A recently discovered function for Mec1p is the suppression of inappropriate telomere formation at DSBs in the middle of the chromosome.
For the regulatory subunits with a newly discovered function in glucose repression or derepression, Rts1, Shp1 and Rrd1, Rrd2, we observed a clear effect on the level of Snf1 phosphorylation in the deletion strains.
The newly discovered function of the MBNL1 protein as a cytoplasmic regulator of miRNA biogenesis implicates an alteration of the miRNA processing pathway in the RNA toxicity that occurs in DM1 [ 37].
Torres et al. [5] used GP to discover functions to combine different descriptors for content-based image retrieval (CBIR) tasks.
