Modulating signaling networks by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated transposable element insertion [PDF]
In a recent past, transposable elements (TEs) were referred to as selfish genetic components only capable of copying themselves with the aim of increasing the odds of being inherited.

Nuclear mutations affecting mitochondrial structure and function in Chlamydomonas [PDF]
Wild type cells of the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii can grow in the in the dark by taking up and respiring exogenously supplied acetate. Obligate photoautotrophic (dark dier, dk) mutants of this alga have been selected which grow at near wild ...

Lamarck and immunity: Somatic and germline evolution of antibody genes [PDF]
Current work on the mechanism of hypermutation of somatically rearranged antibody variable (V) genes shows that the most likely mechanism involves both direct DNA modification (deamination of cytosines to uracils by AID deaminase) and strand nicking plus

A Type III protein-RNA toxin-antitoxin system from Bacillus thuringiensis promotes plasmid retention during spore development. [PDF]
Members of the Bacillus cereus sensu lato group of bacteria often contain multiple large plasmids, including those encoding virulence factors in B. anthracis. Bacillus species can develop into spores in response to stress.

Typhoid fever imported from Mexico to Switzerland. Studies on R factor mediated chloramphenicol resistance [PDF]
A case of typhoid fever caused by Salmonella typhi occurred in Geneva. The patient was probably infected in Mexico City. The strain isolated from this patient corresponds with the description of the Mexican S.

In searching for life in extraterrestrial space, it is essential to act based on an unequivocal definition of life. In the twentieth century, life was defined as cells that self-replicate, metabolize, and are open for mutations, without which genetic ...

Asymmetric cell division and “differential inheritance of aging“ [PDF]
Asimetričnom staničnom diobom nastaju stanice kćeri koje su međusobno različite. Pri takvoj diobi dolazi do diferencijalnog nasljeđivanja centrosoma, molekula DNA, molekula RNA, proteina i proteinskih agregata.

Budding yeast as a model organism to study the effects of age [PDF]
Although a budding yeast culture can be propagated eternally, individual yeast cells age and eventually die. The detailed knowledge of this unicellular eukaryotic species as well as the powerful tools developed to study its physiology makes budding yeast

Uniparental Disomy and Genome Imprinting: an Overview [PDF]
The following paper is concerned with potential changes in the normal epigenetic process in a diploid individual, when a chromosome pair or segment is inherited from one parent only, instead of the expected biparental contribution.
