Islet-expressed circular RNAs are associated with type 2 diabetes status in human primary islets and in peripheral blood

open access: yesBMC Medical Genomics, 2020
Background Circular RNAs are non-coding RNA molecules with gene regulatory potential that have been associated with several human diseases. They are stable and present in the circulation, making them excellent candidates for biomarkers of disease ...

The economical lifestyle of CPR bacteria in groundwater allows little preference for environmental drivers

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiome, 2021
Background The highly diverse Cand. Patescibacteria are predicted to have minimal biosynthetic and metabolic pathways, which hinders understanding of how their populations differentiate in response to environmental drivers or host organisms.

Environmental Plasticity of the RNA Content of Staphylococcus aureus Extracellular Vesicles [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The roles of bacterial extracellular vesicles (EVs) in cell-to-cell signaling are progressively being unraveled. These membranous spheres released by many living cells carry various macromolecules, some of which influence host-pathogen interactions. Bacterial EVs contain RNA, which may serve in communicating with their infected hosts.

Size, Shape, and Sequence-Dependent Immunogenicity of RNA Nanoparticles

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2017
RNA molecules have emerged as promising therapeutics. Like all other drugs, the safety profile and immune response are important criteria for drug evaluation. However, the literature on RNA immunogenicity has been controversial.

Identification of differentially expressed genes involved in spore germination of Penicillium expansum by comparative transcriptome and proteome approaches

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, 2018
In this study, Penicillium expansum, a common destructive phytopathogen and patulin producer was isolated from naturally infected apple fruits and identified by morphological observation and rDNA‐internal transcribed spacer analysis.

Evaluation of Sequencing Library Preparation Protocols for Viral Metagenomic Analysis from Pristine Aquifer Groundwaters

open access: yesViruses, 2019
Viral ecology of terrestrial habitats is yet-to be extensively explored, in particular the terrestrial subsurface. One problem in obtaining viral sequences from groundwater aquifer samples is the relatively low amount of virus particles. As a result, the

Potential Role of Domains Rearranged Methyltransferase7 in Starch and Chlorophyll Metabolism to Regulate Leaf Senescence in Tomato

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation is an important epigenetic mark involved in diverse biological processes. Here, we report the critical function of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) Domains Rearranged Methyltransferase7 (SlDRM7) in plant growth and ...

Revealing population demographics with environmental RNA

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources
The analyses of environmental DNA (eDNA) and environmental RNA (eRNA) released by organisms into their surrounding environment (water, soil and air) have emerged as powerful tools for monitoring biodiversity. While eDNA has been widely adopted for the non‐invasive detection of species and characterization of community composition, the utilization of ...

Congruent Evolution of Genetic and Environmental Robustness in Micro-RNA [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Biology and Evolution, 2009
Genetic robustness, the preservation of an optimal phenotype in the face of mutations, is critical to the understanding of evolution as phenotypically expressed genetic variation is the fuel of natural selection. The origin of genetic robustness, whether it evolves directly by natural selection or it is a correlated byproduct of other phenotypic traits,
