The general structure and action of all eukaryotic and archaeal RNA polymerases machinery have an astonishing similarity despite the diversity of core promoter sequences in different species. The goal of our work is to find common characteristics of DNA region that define it as a promoter for the RNA polymerase II (Pol II). The profiles of a large number of physical and structural characteristics, averaged over representative sets of the Pol II minimal core promoters of the evolutionary divergent species from animals, plants and unicellular fungi were analysed. In addition to the characteristics defined at the base-pair steps, we, for the first time, use profiles of the ultrasonic cleavage and DNase I cleavage indexes, informative for internal properties of each complementary strand. Special characteristics of conformational behavior are revealed in metazoans at the region, which connects the end of TATA-box and the transcription start site (TSS). The intensities of conformational motions in the complementary strands are periodically changed in opposite phases. They are noticeable, best of all, in mammals. Obtained results may be useful in genetic engineering for artificial modulation of the promoter strength.

Growth in noncommutative algebras and entropy in derived categories

Piontkovski D., / Series arXiv "math". 2026.

A noncommutative projective variety is defined, following Artin and Zhang, by a graded coherent algebra 𝐴. The category of coherent sheaves is then the quotient qgr(𝐴) of the category of finitely presented graded modules by the subcategory of torsion modules. We consider the categorical and polynomial entropies of the Serre twist, that is, of the ...

Multilinear nilalgebras and the Jacobian theorem

Piontkovski D., / Series arXiv "math". 2025.

If a symmetric multilinear algebra is weakly nil, then it is Engel. This result may be regarded as an infinite-dimensional analogue of the well-known Jacobian theorem, which states that if a polynomial mapping has a polynomial inverse, then its Jacobian matrix is invertible. This refines a theorem of Gerstenhaber and partially answers a question posed ...

Construction of Promoter Elements for Strong, Moderate, and Weak Gene Expression in Drosophila melanogaster

Kudryashova K.S., Deriglazova I. O., Osadchiy I. S. et al., Genes 2025 Vol. 16 No. 1 Article 3

Background/Objectives: Transcriptional promoters play an essential role in regulating protein expression. Promoters with weak activity generally lead to low levels of expression, resulting in fewer proteins being produced. At the same time, strong promoters are commonly used in studies using transgenic organisms as model systems. This approach can have various negative consequences for the organism, ...

ML-based Fast Simulation of FARICH Responses

Shipilov F., Barnyakov A., Ivanov A. et al., / Series Physics "arxiv.org". 2026.

A fast simulation of the detector response is a vital task in high-energy physics (HEP). Traditional Monte-Carlo methods form the backbone of modern particle physics simulation software but are computationally expensive. We present a machine-learning-based approach to fast simulation of the Focusing Aerogel Ring Imaging Cherenkov (FARICH) detector response. Given a particle track and momentum, ...

Natural hazard database from Internet publications: text mining with a large language model

Derkacheva A., Sakirkina M., Kraev G. et al., /. 2026.

Comprehensive data on natural hazards and their consequences are crucial for effective for risk assessment, adaptation planning, and emergency response. However, many countries face challenges with fragmented, inconsistent, and inaccessible data, particularly regarding local-scale events. To address this data gap in Russia, we developed an end-to-end processing pipeline that scrapes news from various online sources, ...

Algorithmic overlaps as thermodynamic variables: from local to cluster Monte Carlo dynamics in critical phenomena

Pilé I., Deng Y., Shchur L., / Series arXiv "math". 2026. No. 2604.10254.

We investigate the spatial overlap of successive spin configurations in Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations using the local Metropolis algorithm and the Svendsen-Wang and Wolff cluster algorithms. We examine the dynamics of these algorithms for two models in different universality classes: the Ising model and the Potts model with three components. The overlap of two ...

Using predefined vector systems to speed up neural network multimillion class classification

Gabdullin N., Androsov I., / Series Computer Science "arxiv.org". 2026.

Label prediction in neural networks (NNs) has O(n) complexity proportional to the number of classes. This holds true for classification using fully connected layers and cosine similarity with some set of class prototypes. In this paper we show that if NN latent space (LS) geometry is known and possesses specific properties, label prediction complexity can ...

Iterative Ricci-Foster Curvature Flow with GMM-Based Edge Pruning: A Novel Approach to Community Detection

Sorokin K., Beketov M., Онучин А. et al., / arxiv.org. Серия cs.SI "Social and Information Networks ". 2025.

Community detection in complex networks is a fundamental problem, open to new approaches in various scientific settings. We introduce a novel community detection method, based on Ricci flow on graphs. Our technique iteratively updates edge weights (their metric lengths) according to their (combinatorial) Foster version of Ricci curvature computed from effective resistance distance between the ...

Implementing Transport Coding in OMNeT++ for Message Delay Reduction

Petrovanov I., Sergeev A., / Series Computer Science "arxiv.org". 2025. No. 2512.18332.

Transport coding reduces message delay in packet-switched networks by introducing controlled redundancy at the transport layer: original packets are encoded into coded packets, and the message is reconstructed after the first successful deliveries, effectively shifting latency from the maximum packet delay to the -th order statistic. We present a concise, reproducible discrete-event implementation of transport coding in OMNeT++, including ...

Hessian-based lightweight neural network for brain vessel segmentation on a minimal training dataset

Меньшиков И. А., Бернадотт А. К., Elvimov N. S., / Series arXie "Statistical mechanics". 2025.

Accurate segmentation of blood vessels in brain magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is essential for successful surgical procedures, such as aneurysm repair or bypass surgery. Currently, annotation is primarily performed through manual segmentation or classical methods, such as the Frangi filter, which often lack sufficient accuracy. Neural networks have emerged as powerful tools for medical image ...

Regulatory potential of flipons revealed by deep learning.

Poptsova M., Умеренков Д., Fedorov A. et al., , in: Proceedings of 11th Moscow Conference on Computational Molecular Biology MCCMB'23.: IITP RAS, 2023.

Flipons – non-B DNA conformations – have been shown to play an important role in various genomic processes. Flipons identification and localization is difficult due to their dynamic nature. We developed deep learning approaches to identify non-B DNA secondary structures using available information from thousands of omics data sets. We created DeepZ models based on CNN and RNN, and ...

Conserved microRNAs and Flipons Shape Gene Expression during Development by Altering Promoter Conformations

Herbert A., Pavlov F., Dmitrii Konovalov et al., International Journal of Molecular Sciences 2023 Vol. 24 No. 5 Article 4884

The classical view of gene regulation draws from prokaryotic models, where responses to environmental changes involve operons regulated by sequence-specific protein interactions with DNA, although it is now known that operons are also modulated by small RNAs. In eukaryotes, pathways based on microRNAs (miR) regulate the readout of genomic information from transcripts, while alternative nucleic ...

Site-specific photolabile roadblocks for the study of transcription elongation in biologically complex systems

Nadon J., Epshtein V., Cameron E. et al., Communications Biology 2022 Vol. 5 No. 1 Article 457

Transcriptional pausing is crucial for the timely expression of genetic information. Biochemical methods quantify the half-life of paused RNA polymerase (RNAP) by monitoring restarting complexes across time. However, this approach may produce apparent half-lives that are longer than true pause escape rates in biological contexts where multiple consecutive pause sites are present. We show here ...
