To gain more insights into the evolution of mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes or mtDNAs) in the green macroalgal genus Ulva (Ulvophyceae, Chlorophyta), we sequenced seven Ulva mitogenomes from six species as well as one Percursaria mitogenome as ...

AGO6 functions in RNA-mediated transcriptional gene silencing in shoot and root meristems in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) is a small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated epigenetic modification that contributes to transposon silencing in plants. RdDM requires a complex transcriptional machinery that includes specialized RNA polymerases, named

Essential Oils Prime Epigenetic and Metabolomic Changes in Tomato Defense Against Fusarium oxysporum
In this work, we studied the direct and indirect plant protection effects of an Artemisia absinthium essential oil (AEO) on tomato seedlings against Fusarium oxysporum sp. oxysporum radicis lycopersici (Fol). AEO exhibited a toxic effect in vitro against

A Bayesian approach to analyse genetic variation within RNA viral populations. [PDF]
The development of modern and affordable sequencing technologies has allowed the study of viral populations to an unprecedented depth. This is of particular interest for the study of within-host RNA viral populations, where variation due to error-prone ...

Density- and elongation speed-dependent error correction in RNA polymerization [PDF]
Backtracking of RNA polymerase (RNAP) is an important pausing mechanism during DNA transcription that is part of the error correction process that enhances transcription fidelity. We model the backtracking mechanism of RNA polymerase, which usually happens when the polymerase tries to incorporate a mismatched nucleotide triphosphate.

The genus Capripoxvirus belongs to the Poxviridae family. The sheeppox, goatpox, and lumpy skin disease viruses are three species of this genus with 96% identity in their genomes. These are financially devastating viral infections among cattle, which cause a reduction in animal products and lead to a loss in livestock industries.

Emerging Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) resistant strains have continued to limit the efficacies of existing antitubercular therapies. More specifically, mutations in the RNA replicative machinery of Mtb, RNA polymerase (RNAP), have been widely linked to rifampicin (RIF) resistance, which has led to therapeutic failures in many clinical cases ...

Use of Site-Specifically Tethered Chemical Nucleases to Study Macromolecular Reactions
During a complex macromolecular reaction multiple changes in molecular conformation and interactions with ligands may occur. X-ray crystallography may provide only a limited set of snapshots of these changes.

The RNA silencing enzyme RNA polymerase v is required for plant immunity. [PDF]
RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) is an epigenetic control mechanism driven by small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that influence gene function. In plants, little is known of the involvement of the RdDM pathway in regulating traits related to immune ...
