Exploring nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses in Tara Oceans microbial metagenomes [PDF]

, 2013
Nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) constitute a group of eukaryotic viruses that can have crucial ecological roles in the sea by accelerating the turnover of their unicellular hosts or by causing diseases in animals. To better characterize the

Unveiling the Role of Rumen Microbiome in Modulating Intramuscular Fat Deposition of Pingliang Red Cattle

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study revealed that rumen microbiota significantly influence IMF deposition in Pingliang Red cattle through taxonomic and functional mechanisms. Limosilactobacillus panis and Fibrobacter succinogenes were identified as potential biomarkers for high IMF content.

ARAGORN, a program to detect tRNA genes and tmRNA genes in nucleotide sequences [PDF]

, 2004
A computer program, ARAGORN, identifies tRNA and tmRNA genes. The program employs heuristic algorithms to predict tRNA secondary structure, based on homology with recognized tRNA consensus sequences and ability to form a base-paired cloverleaf.

Maintenance of Gut Microbial Balance via the Kynurenine Pathway Improves Larval Performance and Resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis in Spodoptera exigua

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated deletion of kmo in Spodoptera exigua abolished 8‐HQA production, disrupted gut microbial homeostasis, and promoted Enterococcus dominance in gut and oral secretion. Mutants exhibited impaired growth, delayed development, and increased susceptibility to Bacillus thuringiensis, highlighting a conserved role of the kynurenine pathway ...

Kinetic control of eukaryotic chromatin structure by recursive topological restraints [PDF]

, 2008
Chromatin structure undergoes many changes during the cell cycle and in response to regulatory events. A basic unit of chromatin organization is the nucleosome core particle.

Ecological Drivers of Microbiota Diversity in the Pharmacophagous Turnip Sawfly

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2026.
We show that both nutritional (host‐plant diet, starvation) and non‐nutritional (pharmacophagy) plant use independently shape microbiota diversity, composition and predicted function in Athalia rosae. Pharmacophagy via clerodanoid uptake altered microbial communities and enriched metabolic pathways linked to plant compound degradation. Wild individuals

SwarmGenomics: A Unified Pipeline for Individual‐Based Whole‐Genome Analyses

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Advances in sequencing technologies have made whole‐genome data widely accessible, enabling research in population genetics, evolutionary biology, and conservation. However, analysing whole‐genome sequencing (WGS) data remains challenging, often requiring multiple specialised tools and substantial bioinformatics expertise.

OligoN‐Design: A Simple and Versatile Tool to Design Specific Probes and Primers From Large Heterogeneous Datasets

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐throughput environmental DNA sequencing has ushered ecological and evolutionary studies into the big data era. With thousands to millions of DNA sequences, designing taxon‐specific oligonucleotides is a current bottleneck of molecular studies that rely on primers for Polymerase Chain Reactions (PCRs) or probes for Fluorescence in situ ...

Ancient and novel small RNA pathways compensate for the loss of piRNAs in multiple independent nematode lineages.

PLoS Biology, 2015
Small RNA pathways act at the front line of defence against transposable elements across the Eukaryota. In animals, Piwi interacting small RNAs (piRNAs) are a crucial arm of this defence.

The early-acting glycosome biogenic protein Pex3 is essential for trypanosome viability

Life Science Alliance, 2019
This study reports the identification of trypanosome Pex3, the master regulator of glycosome biogenesis. Trypanosome Pex3 is essential for glycosome assembly and trypanosome viability and is distinct from human Pex3.
