Taxonomic resolutions based on 18S rRNA genes: a case study of subclass copepoda. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Biodiversity studies are commonly conducted using 18S rRNA genes. In this study, we compared the inter-species divergence of variable regions (V1-9) within the copepod 18S rRNA gene, and tested their taxonomic resolutions at different taxonomic levels ...

PLoS ONE, 2022 In this study, Plasmodium falciparum was detected in patients that were declared negative for malaria microscopy and rapid diagnostic test kit (mRDT), using Plasmodium 18s rRNA loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technique. The main aim of this

ggpicrust2: an R package for PICRUSt2 predicted functional profile analysis and visualization [PDF]
, 2023 Microbiome research is now moving beyond the compositional analysis of microbial taxa in a sample. Increasing evidence from large human microbiome studies suggests that functional consequences of changes in the intestinal microbiome may provide more power for studying their impact on inflammation and immune responses.

Specialized box C/D snoRNPs act as antisense guides to target RNA base acetylation. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2017 Box C/D snoRNAs are known to guide site-specific ribose methylation of ribosomal RNA. Here, we demonstrate a novel and unexpected role for box C/D snoRNAs in guiding 18S rRNA acetylation in yeast.

Automatic learning of hydrogen-bond fixes in an AMBER RNA force field [PDF]
J. Chem. Theory Comput. 2022, 18, 7, 4490-4502, 2022 The capability of current force fields to reproduce RNA structural dynamics is limited. Several methods have been developed to take advantage of experimental data in order to enforce agreement with experiments. We herein extend an existing framework, which allows arbitrarily chosen force-field correction terms to be fitted by quantification of the ...

Malaria Journal, 2020 Background Rhesus macaques are valuable pre-clinical models for malaria vaccine development. The Plasmodium knowlesi/rhesus and Plasmodium falciparum/rhesus models are two established platforms for malaria vaccine testing, and both have previously been ...

Plasmodium 18S rRNA of intravenously administered sporozoites does not persist in peripheral blood
Malaria Journal, 2018 Background Plasmodium 18S rRNA is a biomarker used to monitor blood-stage infections in malaria clinical trials. Plasmodium sporozoites also express this biomarker, and there is conflicting evidence about how long sporozoite-derived 18S rRNA persists in ...

Phytobiomes Journal, 2020 Protists and microscopic animals are important but poorly understood determinants of plant health. Plant-associated eukaryotes could be surveyed by high-throughput sequencing of 18S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes but the abundance of plant DNA in rhizosphere

Detection of Plasmodium simium gametocytes in non-human primates from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
Malaria Journal, 2023 Background Plasmodium species of non-human primates (NHP) are of great interest because they can naturally infect humans. Plasmodium simium, a parasite restricted to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, was recently shown to cause a zoonotic outbreak in the ...
