The Relationship Between Course-Taking Patterns in Undergraduate Biology and Community College Transfer-Success [PDF]
, 2021 The purpose of this non-experimental, quantitative study was to investigate the relationship of course-taking patterns of community college students enrolled in a major’s biology sequence to successful transfer into a biology or biology-related degree ...

Single-cell sequencing in stem cell biology
Genome Biology, 2016 Cell-to-cell variation and heterogeneity are fundamental and intrinsic characteristics of stem cell populations, but these differences are masked when bulk cells are used for omic analysis. Single-cell sequencing technologies serve as powerful tools to dissect cellular heterogeneity comprehensively and to identify distinct phenotypic cell types, even ...

Evaluating the origin and spread of spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) in Japan
Population Ecology, EarlyView.The invasive spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is native to China and is a serious economic pest in the Republic of Korea and the United States, though it is not considered a pest in Japan. We established a distribution map of L. delicatula in Japan through a comprehensive review of published literature and citizen science reports and analyzed ...

Development of a Biocontained Toluene-Degrading Bacterium for Environmental Protection
Microbiology Spectrum, 2021 Biocontainment is a safeguard strategy for preventing uncontrolled proliferation of genetically engineered microorganisms (GEMs) in the environment. Biocontained GEMs are designed to survive only in the presence of a specific molecule.

Cancer systems biology in the genome sequencing era: Part 2, evolutionary dynamics of tumor clonal networks and drug resistance [PDF]
, 2014 A tumor often consists of multiple cell subpopulations (clones). Current chemo-treatments often target one clone of a tumor. Although the drug kills that clone, other clones overtake it and the tumor reoccurs. Genome sequencing and computational analysis allows to computational dissection of clones from tumors, while singe-cell genome sequencing ...

Skin microbiota in health and disease: From sequencing to biology [PDF]
The Journal of Dermatology, 2020 AbstractMicrobiota live in a closely regulated interaction with their environment, and vice versa. The presence and absence of microbial entities is greatly influenced by features of the niche in which they thrive. Characteristic of this phenomenon is that different human skin sites harbor niche‐specific communities of microbes.

Population Ecology, EarlyView.In this study, we compared three methods for kinship identification using different algorithms in samples of wild Pacific bluefin tuna and generated genotyping data. The three methods resulted in different numbers of inferred kinship pairs for both generated and actual data. Particularly for the half‐sibling pairs, considerable number of false‐positive

Profile Context-Sensitive HMMs for Probabilistic Modeling of Sequences With Complex Correlations [PDF]
, 2006 The profile hidden Markov model is a specific type of HMM that is well suited for describing the common features of a set of related sequences. It has been extensively used in computational biology, where it is still one of the most popular tools.

The dual nature of TDC – bridging dendritic and T cells in immunity
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.TDC are hematopoietic cells combining dendritic and T cell features. They reach secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) and peripheral organs (liver and lungs) after FLT3‐dependent development in the bone marrow and maturation in the thymus. TDC are activated and enriched in SLOs upon viral infection, suggesting that they might play unique immune roles, since
