Application of Cloning-Free Genome Engineering to Escherichia coli

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
The propagation of foreign DNA in Escherichia coli is central to molecular biology. Recent advances have dramatically expanded the ability to engineer (bacterial) cells; however, most of these techniques remain time-consuming. The aim of the present work

Common and unique strategies of myoglobin evolution for deep-sea adaptation of diving mammals

open access: yesiScience, 2021
Summary: Myoglobin (Mb) is highly concentrated in the myocytes of diving mammals such as whales and seals, in comparison with land animals, and its molecular evolution has played a crucial role in their deep-sea adaptation.

Enhanced Recovery of Microbial Genes and Genomes From a Marine Water Column Using Long-Read Metagenomics

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Third-generation sequencing has penetrated little in metagenomics due to the high error rate and dependence for assembly on short-read designed bioinformatics. However, second-generation sequencing metagenomics (mostly Illumina) suffers from limitations,

Balancing selection at the human salivary agglutinin gene (DMBT1) driven by host-microbe interactions

open access: yesiScience, 2022
Summary: Discovering loci under balancing selection in humans can identify loci with alleles that affect response to the environment and disease. Genome variation data have identified the 5′ region of the DMBT1 gene as undergoing balancing selection in ...

Alterations in Properties of Glutamatergic Transmission in the Temporal Cortex and Hippocampus Following Pilocarpine-Induced Acute Seizures in Wistar Rats

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2017
Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common type of focal epilepsy in humans, and is often developed after an initial precipitating brain injury. This form of epilepsy is frequently resistant to pharmacological treatment; therefore, the prevention of

Seizure-Induced Potentiation of AMPA Receptor-Mediated Synaptic Transmission in the Entorhinal Cortex

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
Excessive excitation is considered one of the key mechanisms underlying epileptic seizures. We investigated changes in the evoked postsynaptic responses of medial entorhinal cortex (ERC) pyramidal neurons by seizure-like events (SLEs), using the modified
