A novel method to assess the integrity of frozen archival DNA samples: Alpha‐diversity ratios of short‐ and long‐read 16S rRNA gene sequences

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution
Archival DNA samples collected and analysed for a range of research and applied questions have accumulated in the laboratories of universities, government agencies and commercial service providers for decades. These DNA archives represent a valuable, yet

GenFlow: generic flow for integration, management and analysis of molecular biology data

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2004
A large number of DNA sequencing projects all over the world have yielded a fantastic amount of data, whose analysis is, currently, a big challenge for computational biology.

BOOL-AN: A method for comparative sequence analysis and phylogenetic reconstruction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A novel discrete mathematical approach is proposed as an additional tool for molecular systematics which does not require prior statistical assumptions concerning the evolutionary process.

Molecular approach in spider mites (Acari: Tetranychidae): Preliminary data on ribosomal DNA sequences

open access: yesExperimental & Applied Acarology, 1992
DNA sequence data were used to examine phylogenetic relationships between six species of economically important Tetranychidae mites: Eotetranychus carpini (Oudemans), E. pruni (Reck), Tetranychus pacificus McGregor, T. mcdanieli McGregor, T. turkestani Ugarov & Nikolski and T. urticae Koch.

Aβ42 promotes the aggregation of α‐synuclein splice isoforms via heterogeneous nucleation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The aggregation of amyloid‐β (Aβ) and α‐synuclein (αSyn) is associated with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. This study reveals that Aβ aggregates serve as potent nucleation sites for the aggregation of αSyn and its splice isoforms, shedding light on the intricate interplay between these two pathogenic proteins.

Inference of Markovian properties of molecular sequences from NGS data and applications to comparative genomics [PDF]

open access: yesBioinformatics, 2015
Abstract Motivation: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies generate large amounts of short read data for many different organisms. The fact that NGS reads are generally short makes it challenging to assemble the reads and reconstruct the original genome sequence.

ERBIN limits epithelial cell plasticity via suppression of TGF‐β signaling

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In breast and lung cancer patients, low ERBIN expression correlates with poor clinical outcomes. Here, we show that ERBIN inhibits TGF‐β‐induced epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in NMuMG breast and A549 lung adenocarcinoma cell lines. ERBIN suppresses TGF‐β/SMAD signaling and reduces TGF‐β‐induced ERK phosphorylation.

The adsorption of adsorbable organic halide onto biological solids : a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Technology in Environmental Engineering [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
Chlorinated organic molecules may be removed from wastewaters by adsorption onto the biomass present in biological treatment systems. This study assessed the adsorption onto biological solids of Adsorbable Organic Halide (AOX) from two New Zealand kraft ...

Thermostable neutral metalloprotease from Geobacillus sp. EA1 does not share thermolysin's preference for substrates with leucine at the P1′ position

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Knowing how proteases recognise preferred substrates facilitates matching proteases to applications. The S1′ pocket of protease EA1 directs cleavage to the N‐terminal side of hydrophobic residues, particularly leucine. The S1′ pocket of thermolysin differs from EA's at only one position (leucine in place of phenylalanine), which decreases cleavage ...

Evolutionary descent of prion genes from a ZIP metal ion transport ancestor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In the more than 20 years since its discovery, both the phylogenetic origin and cellular function of the prion protein (PrP) have remained enigmatic.
