Whole genome sequencing and microsatellite analysis of the Plasmodium falciparum E5 NF54 strain show that the var, rifin and stevor gene families follow Mendelian inheritance [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Plasmodium falciparum exhibits a high degree of inter-isolate genetic diversity in its variant surface antigen (VSA) families: P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1, repetitive interspersed family (RIFIN) and subtelomeric variable ...

Conserved structural motifs in PAS, LOV, and CRY proteins regulate circadian rhythms and are therapeutic targets

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cryptochrome and PAS/LOV proteins play intricate roles in circadian clocks where they act as both sensors and mediators of protein–protein interactions. Their ubiquitous presence in signaling networks has positioned them as targets for small‐molecule therapeutics. This review provides a structural introduction to these protein families.

LongReadSum: A fast and flexible quality control and signal summarization tool for long-read sequencing data

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal
While several well-established quality control (QC) tools exist for short-read sequencing data, there is a general paucity of computational tools that efficiently deliver comprehensive metrics across a wide range of long-read sequencing data formats ...

Detection of single nucleotide and copy number variants in the Fabry disease-associated GLA gene using nanopore sequencing

Scientific Reports, 2021
More than 900 variants have been described in the GLA gene. Some intronic variants and copy number variants in GLA can cause Fabry disease but will not be detected by classical Sanger sequence.

An upstream open reading frame regulates expression of the mitochondrial protein Slm35 and mitophagy flux

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.

Long-read sequence assembly of the gorilla genome [PDF]

Science, 2016
Improving on the gorilla genome Access to complete, high-quality genomes of nonhuman primates will also help us understand human biology. Gordon et al. used long-read sequencing technology to improve genome data on our close relative the gorilla.

Complex genome assembly based on long-read sequencing

Briefings in Bioinformatics, 2022
Abstract High-quality genome chromosome-scale sequences provide an important basis for genomics downstream analysis, especially the construction of haplotype-resolved and complete genomes, which plays a key role in genome annotation, mutation detection, evolutionary analysis, gene function research, comparative genomics and other aspects.

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.
