Defense Systems and Prophage Detection in Streptococcus mutans Strains
ABSTRACT Although the species is extensively studied, limited data are available on antiphage defense systems (APDSs) in Streptococcus mutans. The present study aimed to explore the diversity and the occurrence of APDSs and to search for prophages in the genomes of clinical isolates of S. mutans using bioinformatics tools.

Abstract While historically, the aim of propaganda was to convince the public of a certain agenda, many political commentators contend that modern forms of disinformation come with a different goal in mind: To confuse, rather than convince. It is believed that to secure this goal, informational spaces are diluted, rather than dominated, a strategy ...

This study suggests that prenatal aspirin exposure is associated with reduced ovarian reserve in offspring, associated with HDAC1‐linked epigenetic downregulation of Usp9x as a candidate mechanism. These preclinical findings provide new insights into fetal‐origin ovarian disorders and contribute to the evidence base concerning aspirin's gestational ...

The interaction between trophoblasts and decidual polymorphonuclear myeloid‐derived suppressor cells (dPMN‐MDSCs) via the XCL1–XCR1 axis is crucial for fetal development during the third trimester. Disruption of this axis impairs FOXO1 activity and causes metabolic imbalance in dPMN‐MDSCs, contributing to adverse outcomes associated with advanced ...

Time‐Efficient and Informatic‐Skill‐Light Gap‐Filling for Telomere‐to‐Telomere Genome Assembly
The paper introduces a novel auxiliary software toolbox GapSuite, consisting of two tools Gap‐Aid and Gap‐Graph, which guides users to fill gaps in chromosome‐level genome assembly using sequence‐extension‐based and assembly‐graph‐based strategies. The two tools enable users with limited informatics expertise to efficiently complete gap‐filling on ...

Abstract North Carolina soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] production has historically relied on later maturing determinate varieties, but recent availability of later maturing indeterminate varieties has raised questions about growth habit effects on soybean production in the region. This study evaluated the impact of soybean growth habit (indeterminate
