Evaluating methods for isolating total RNA and predicting the success of sequencing phylogenetically diverse plant transcriptomes. [PDF]
Next-generation sequencing plays a central role in the characterization and quantification of transcriptomes. Although numerous metrics are purported to quantify the quality of RNA, there have been no large-scale empirical evaluations of the major ...

Challenges for the development of automated RNA-seq analyses pipelines
Background: Transcriptional changes are hallmarks of development and disease. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) allows qualitative and quantitative RNA expression analysis. Raw RNA-seq data passes through a multi-step computational pipeline to derive meaning from

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Taxonomy of anaerobic digestion microbiome reveals biases associated with the applied high throughput sequencing strategies [PDF]
In the past few years, many studies investigated the anaerobic digestion microbiome by means of 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. Results obtained from these studies were compared to each other without taking into consideration the followed procedure for ...

In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Directional RNA deep sequencing sheds new light on the transcriptional response of Anabaena sp strain PCC 7120 to combined-nitrogen deprivation [PDF]
Background: Cyanobacteria are potential sources of renewable chemicals and biofuels and serve as model organisms for bacterial photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation, and responses to environmental changes. Anabaena (Nostoc) sp.

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.
