Idiosyncratic evolution of conserved eukaryote proteins that are similar in sequence to archaeal or bacterial proteins [PDF]
Sequence comparisons have been made between the proteins of 571 prokaryote species including 46 archaea and 525 bacteria and the set of human proteins.

Bacterial ribonucleases and their roles in RNA metabolism
Ribonucleases (RNases) are mediators in most reactions of RNA metabolism. In recent years, there has been a surge of new information about RNases and the roles they play in cell physiology.

Prediction of Novel Bacterial Small RNAs From RIL-Seq RNA–RNA Interaction Data
The genomic revolution and subsequent advances in large-scale genomic and transcriptomic technologies highlighted hidden genomic treasures. Among them stand out non-coding small RNAs (sRNAs), shown to play important roles in post-transcriptional ...

Extracellular vesicles deliver Mycobacterium RNA to promote host immunity and bacterial killing
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been shown to carry microbial components and function in the host defense against infections. In this study, we demonstrate that Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) RNA is delivered into macrophage‐derived EVs through an M.

Bacterial small RNAs in the Genus Rickettsia [PDF]
Rickettsia species are obligate intracellular Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria and the etiologic agents of diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF), Mediterranean spotted fever, epidemic typhus, and murine typhus. Genome sequencing revealed that R. prowazekii has ~25 % non-coding DNA, the majority of which is thought to be either "junk DNA"

Nasal Bacterial Microbiome: Probing a Healthy Porcine Family [PDF]
Upper respiratory tract (URT) infection caused the leading and devastating diseases in pigs. It was believed that the normal microbiome of URT plays a vital role in health and disease development.

Cytological and transcript analyses reveal fat and lazy persister-like bacilli in tuberculous sputum [PDF]
As nonreplicating tubercle bacilli are tolerant to the cidal action of antibiotics and resistant to multiple stresses, identification of this persister-like population of tubercle bacilli in sputum presents exciting and tractable new opportunities to ...

Sputum often contains large amounts of contaminating bacterial DNA that, if not eliminated during RNA isolation, may interfere with gene expression studies. During RNA isolation only repeated DNase treatment can effectively remove contaminating bacterial
