Genetic Characterisation of the upp Gene in Bifidobacterium bifidum PRL2010
In this study, we examined the highly conserved upp gene in bifidobacteria, which encodes uracil phosphoribosyltransferase and plays a role in the pyrimidine salvage pathway. Specifically, we explore its evolutionary trajectory in bifidobacteria, shedding light on its role in microbial competition in the human gut.

Mitochondrial Genome Engineering: The Revolution May Not Be CRISPR-Ized. [PDF]
In recent years mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has transitioned to greater prominence across diverse areas of biology and medicine. The recognition of mitochondria as a major biochemical hub, contributions of mitochondrial dysfunction to various diseases, and

Summary Pomegranate is an important perennial fruit tree distributed worldwide. Reference genomes with gaps and limit gene identification controlling important agronomic traits hinder its functional genomics and genetic improvements. Here, we reported a telomere‐to‐telomere (T2T) gap‐free genome assembly of the distinctive cultivar ‘Moshiliu’.

Evolutional dynamics of 45S and 5S ribosomal DNA in ancient allohexaploid Atropa belladonna [PDF]
Background: Polyploid hybrids represent a rich natural resource to study molecular evolution of plant genes and genomes. Here, we applied a combination of karyological and molecular methods to investigate chromosomal structure, molecular organization ...

The 5S ribosomal RNA gene in Pythium species: two different genomic locations.
The 5S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes in eukaryotes may occur either interspersed with the other rRNA genes in the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) repeat, or in separate tandem arrays, or dispersed throughout the genome.

cDNA-RNA subtractive hybridization reveals increased expression of mycocerosic acid synthase in intracellular Mycobacterium bovis BCG. [PDF]
Identifying genes that are differentially expressed by Mycobacterium bovis BCG after phagocytosis by macrophages will facilitate the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of host cell-intracellular pathogen interactions. To identify such genes a cDNA-

Reconstitution of the complete pathway of ITS2 processing at the pre-ribosome
Removal of internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) from pre-ribosomal RNA is essential to make functional ribosomes. This complicated processing reaction begins with a single endonucleolytic cleavage followed by exonucleolytic trimming at both new cleavage ...
