Environmental RNA as a Tool for Marine Community Biodiversity Assessments. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2022 AbstractMicroscopic organisms are often overlooked in traditional diversity assessments due to the difficulty of identifying them based on morphology. Metabarcoding is a method for rapidly identifying organisms where Environmental DNA (eDNA) is used as a template.

Environmental fate of double-stranded RNA in agricultural soils.
PLoS ONE, 2014 A laboratory soil degradation study was conducted to determine the biodegradation potential of a DvSnf7 dsRNA transcript derived from a Monsanto genetically modified (GM) maize product that confers resistance to corn rootworm (CRW; Diabrotica spp.). This

Warm temperature and alkaline conditions accelerate environmental RNA degradation
Environmental DNA, 2023 Recent developments in environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis allow more rapid and extensive biomonitoring than traditional capture‐based surveys do. However, detection of eDNA not derived from living organisms may lead to false‐positive inferences of species

Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals placental response under environmental stress
Nature CommunicationsThe placenta is crucial for fetal development, yet the impact of environmental stressors such as arsenic exposure remains poorly understood. We apply single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze the response of the mouse placenta to arsenic, revealing cell-type-

Mobile Flowering Locus T RNA – Biological Relevance and Biotechnological Potential
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Many systemically mobile mRNAs have been revealed in phloem. However, very few of them have been found to be of clear signaling functions. One of such rare examples is the mobile Flowering locus T (FT) mRNA despite the continuous debate about its ...
