Gao et al. report that circular DNA molecules created as by‐products of V(D)J recombination during lymphocyte maturation (ESCs) can replicate and be retained for much longer than previously thought in healthy cells. In BCP‐ALL cells, increased ESC abundance correlates with a greater chance of relapse likely mediated by their ability to induce genome ...

Borgs are huge extrachromosomal elements (ECE) of anaerobic methane-consuming “Candidatus Methanoperedens” archaea. Here, we used nanopore sequencing to validate published complete genomes curated from short reads and to reconstruct new genomes.

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.

Somatically heritable switches in the DNA modification of Mu transposable elements monitored with a suppressible mutant in maize [PDF]
Many transposable elements in maize alternate between active and inactive phases associated with the modification of their DNA. Elements in an inactive phase lose their ability to transpose, their ability to excise from reporter alleles and, in some ...

Maloethanolic deacidification of high acid juices during wine yeast alcoholic fermentation : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Microbiology at Massey University [PDF]
Malic acid is a major acid found in grapes. In countries with cooler climates, such as New Zealand, this acid is not fully respired from grapes and will impart a sour taste on grape juices.

Survey of extrachromosomal circular DNA derived from plant satellite repeats [PDF]
Background Satellite repeats represent one of the most dynamic components of higher plant genomes, undergoing rapid evolutionary changes of their nucleotide sequences and abundance in a genome.

Coordinated inheritance of extrachromosomal DNAs in cancer cells
AbstractThe chromosomal theory of inheritance dictates that genes on the same chromosome segregate together while genes on different chromosomes assort independently1. Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) are common in cancer and drive oncogene amplification, dysregulated gene expression and intratumoural heterogeneity through random segregation during cell ...

The centromeric sequences of Ogataea polymorpha, a methylotrophic non‐conventional yeast, were characterised for the first time and support the development of new genetically stable centromeric plasmids with high genetic stability and compatibility, providing powerful genetic toolboxes for the synthetic biology and metabolic engineering‐driven ...

Enhancer sharing promotes neighborhoods of transcriptional regulation across eukaryotes [PDF]
Enhancers physically interact with transcriptional promoters, looping over distances that can span multiple regulatory elements. Given that enhancer–promoter (EP) interactions generally occur via common protein complexes, it is unclear whether EP pairing

Proteostasis and Aging in Saccharomyces cerevisiae - The role of a Peroxiredoxin [PDF]
Aging is characterized by a progressive decline in physiological functions that limits biological processes, increases the risk of disease, and ultimately leads to death. At the cellular level, aging is associated with accumulation of damaged components,
