FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2011 A recently developed real-time PCR method for the determination of genome copy numbers was optimized for the application to cyanobacteria. Three species were chosen to represent a fresh water species, a salt water species, and two strains of a widely used laboratory species.

Extreme Polyploidy of Carsonella, an Organelle-Like Bacterium with a Drastically Reduced Genome
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Polyploidy is the state of having multiple copies of the genome within a nucleus or a cell, which has repeatedly evolved across the domains of life. Whereas most bacteria are monoploid, some bacterial species and endosymbiotic organelles that are derived

How germline genes promote malignancy in cancer cells
BioEssays, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 We hypothesize that activation of a “germline program” promotes oncogenesis. Expression of otherwise germline specific genes may result in pseudomeiotic activity, thereby promoting oncogenesis through genomic instability. Other processes that are differentially regulated in the germline, such as migration and epigenetic – and metabolic plasticity, may ...

Cancer Communications, Volume 42, Issue 12, Page 1367-1386, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Background Neuroendocrine carcinomas of the gastrointestinal tract (GI‐NECs) remain a disease of grim prognosis with limited therapeutic options. Their molecular characteristics are still undefined. This study aimed to explore the underlying genetic basis and heterogeneity of GI‐NECs.

In vitro Ploidy Manipulation for Crop Improvement
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 In vitro regeneration systems provide a powerful tool for manipulating ploidy to facilitate breeding and development of new crops. Polyploid induction can expand breeding opportunities, assist with the development of seedless triploid cultivars, enhance ...

Cancer Reports, Volume 5, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Background Calreticulin (CRT), an endoplasmic reticulum–resident protein generally overexpressed in cancer cells, is associated with radiation resistance. CRT shows higher transacetylase activity, as shown by us earlier, in the presence of the polyphenolic acetates (like 7, 8‐diacetoxy‐4‐methylcoumarin, DAMC) and modifies the activity of a ...
