Humble beginnings of the Australian giant wood moth (Endoxyla cinereus): A century‐old mystery solved

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
The Australian giant wood moth (Endoxyla cinereus) feeds within the galls of scale insects (Apiomorpha) before transitioning into its wood‐boring eucalypt larval phase. This transitionary phase may be key to its multi‐year development, at the end of which it can produce over 100 000 eggs.

A novel CRISPR/Cas9 associated technology for sequence-specific nucleic acid enrichment.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Massively parallel sequencing technologies have made it possible to generate large quantities of sequence data. However, as research-associated information is transferred into clinical practice, cost and throughput constraints generally require sequence ...

Integrated Multi‐Omics Analysis Reveals the Genetic Basis of Phenotypic Variation in Tibetan Sheep

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
SNaPshot‐validated GWAS results demonstrated significant correlations between candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and body size traits in Tibetan sheep. Concurrently, hematoxylin and eosin staining, alongside muscle fiber analysis, confirmed pronounced morphological differences in muscle tissue between sheep of varying conformation.

RecG Protein and Single-Strand DNA Exonucleases Avoid Cell Lethality Associated With PriA Helicase Activity in Escherichia coli

open access: yes, 2010
Replication of the Escherichia coli chromosome usually initiates at a single origin (oriC) under control of DnaA. Two forks are established and move away in opposite directions.

Some Tuco‐Tucos Hide More Than Others: An Integrative Approach Reveals Cryptic Diversity in Ctenomys (Rodentia: Ctenomyidae) From Central Argentina

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Here, we adopt an integrative framework (molecular phylogenetics and geometric morphometrics) to reassess patterns of diversity and differentiation across this region. We analyzed cytochrome b sequences and quantified cranial shape variation. Our analyses indicate the presence of three species groups (mendocinus, talarum, and tucumanus) and two ...

Synthetic Strategies for Linear and Circular RNA

open access: yesSynBio
Synthetic RNA has become an essential modality in therapeutic development. Linear mRNA is already clinically validated, which demonstrated that in vitro-transcribed (IVT) RNA can achieve robust protein expression in humans and can be manufactured at a ...

Covalent drug discovery: Progress against key targets, emerging strategies and lessons learnt

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Covalent drug discovery is currently experiencing a boom in industrial and academic interest. To date, at least 75 covalent drugs have received regulatory approval, targeting both traditional target classes and more challenging proteins for which other approaches failed. In many cases, unique aspects of covalent targeting are essential for the

Cas4 and host exonucleases such as DinG facilitate adaptation in type I-C CRISPR-Cas systems

open access: yes, 2022
To rapidly respond to threat by foreign mobile genetic elements, bacteria have evolved various immune mechanisms, one of which is the RNA-guided CRISPR-Cas (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) system.

The nuclease EXO1 promotes genomic instability by degrading nascent DNA in BRCA-proficient cells

open access: yesNature Communications
DNA repair genes are generally considered tumor suppressors, as their inactivation is observed in tumors and is associated with carcinogenesis. Mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are observed in breast, ovarian, and other cancers.
