Acanthamoeba genotype T4 from the UK and Iran and isolation of the T2 genotype from clinical isolates [PDF]
The majority of the keratitis-causing Acanthamoeba isolates are genotype T4. In an attempt to determine whether predominance of T4 isolates in Acanthamoeba keratitis is due to greater virulence or greater prevalence of this genotype, Acanthamoeba ...

The chimeric RNA ERCC1‐iASPP possesses dual coding and non‐coding functions, synergistically accelerating the process of cellular malignant transformation. Abstract Genetic variation at 19q13.3 critically modulates chemical carcinogen‐induced lung carcinogenesis, particularly in mediating the activity of benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), a major polycyclic ...

Pre-sequencing assessment of RNA-Seq library quality using real-time qPCR
RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) is an essential assay for studying transcriptome profiling. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) comprises more than 80–90% of total cellular RNA; efficient removal is essential for accurately capturing transcriptomes, particularly to sequence ...

PCR-based detection of Plasmodium falciparum in saliva using mitochondrial cox3 and varATS primers
Background Sampling of saliva for diagnosing Plasmodium falciparum infections is a safe, non-invasive alternative to sampling of blood. However, the use of saliva presents a challenge because lower concentrations of parasite DNA are present in saliva ...

Comparative analysis of 18S rRNA genes from Myxobolus aeglefini Auerbach, 1906 isolated from cod (Gadus morhua), Plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) and dab (Limanda limanda), using PCR-RFLP [PDF]
The myxosporean parasite Myxobolus aeglefini is a marine species, which can be found in the cartilage of mainly gadid fish species. The parasite has, however, been recorded in the flatfish plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) and dab (Limanda limanda).

Data incongruence and the problem of avian louse phylogeny [PDF]
Recent studies based on different types of data (i.e. morphological and molecular) have supported conflicting phylogenies for the genera of avian feather lice (Ischnocera: Phthiraptera).

Ribosome Homeostasis Regulated by SETD2 Preserves Intestinal Epithelial Barrier
SETD2 ablation causes dysregulation and recruitment defects of ribosome biogenesis factors, resulting in translational disorders of barrier maintenance genes, thereby compromising the intestinal barrier. These findings unveil a previously unappreciated role of ribosome biogenesis and translational regulation in preserving the intestinal epithelial ...

Characterization of the Arachis (Leguminosae) D genome using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) chromosome markers and total genome DNA hybridization [PDF]
Chromosome markers were developed for Arachis glandulifera using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) of the 5S and 45S rRNA genes and heterochromatic 4'-6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) positive bands.
