Viruses and the cellular RNA decay machinery. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The ability to control cellular and viral gene expression, either globally or selectively, is central to a successful viral infection, and it is also crucial for the host to respond and eradicate pathogens.

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.

Quantifying microbial utilization of petroleum hydrocarbons in salt-marsh sediments using the ^(13)C content of bacterial rRNA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Natural remediation of oil spills is catalyzed by complex microbial consortia. Here we take a whole-community approach to investigate bacterial incorporation of petroleum hydrocarbons from a simulated oil spill.

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

Directional RNA deep sequencing sheds new light on the transcriptional response of Anabaena sp strain PCC 7120 to combined-nitrogen deprivation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background: Cyanobacteria are potential sources of renewable chemicals and biofuels and serve as model organisms for bacterial photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation, and responses to environmental changes. Anabaena (Nostoc) sp.

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.

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 ...

Epigenetic Effects of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers on Human Health. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Disruption of epigenetic regulation by environmental toxins is an emerging area of focus for understanding the latter's impact on human health. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), one such group of toxins, are an environmentally pervasive class of ...
