Surveillance of Viruses in Varroa destructor Samples Collected from Honey Bee Colonies in Ontario, Canada, between 2015 and 2019

Journal of Apicultural Science, 2022
Varroa destructor parasitism is associated with extreme honey bee (Apis mellifera) colony losses in the northern hemisphere. Varroa destructor causes severe damage, including a decrease in bee longevity and immunosuppression, and acts as a vector for ...

Applications of next-generation sequencing technologies and computational tools in molecular evolution and aquatic animals conservation studies : a short review [PDF]

, 2019
Aquatic ecosystems that form major biodiversity hotspots are critically threatened due to environmental and anthropogenic stressors. We believe that, in this genomic era, computational methods can be applied to promote aquatic biodiversity conservation ...

Cardamonin Commands the Colonic Metabolite Columbianetin Acetate to Compete Against LPS in Binding HMGB1 in the Kidney, Preventing Lipopolysaccharide‐Induced Renal Tubular Pyroptosis

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
Cardamonin upregulate sd the intestinal metabolite columbianetin acetate, which competitively bound HMGB1 to prevent LPS‐induced renal tubular cell pyroptosis (the figure is created with BioRender). ABSTRACT Sepsis‐associated acute kidney injury (SA‐AKI) results in high mortality due to the lack of effective interventions. The current study reports the

Protein Energy Malnutrition: Opportunities for Cold Plasma Technologies

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
Protein energy malnutrition (PEM) is a major global health concern driven by biological, environmental, and nutritional factors, including gut microbiota imbalance and low protein intake. Cold atmospheric plasma technologies offer promising, sustainable solutions by improving food security, enhancing protein quality and absorption, and modulating gut ...

Challenges in the analysis of viral metagenomes [PDF]

Virus Evolution, 2016
Genome sequencing technologies continue to develop with remarkable pace, yet analytical approaches for reconstructing and classifying viral genomes from mixed samples remain limited in their performance and usability. Existing solutions generally target expert users and often have unclear scope, making it challenging to critically evaluate their ...

Metagenomic mining reveals novel Cas12 subtypes and their evolutionary diversification

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
We identified 4112 Cas12 Proteins and 6 new Cas12 subtypes, revealed their significant diversity in N‐terminal regions, repeat sequences, and sequences motifs. We developed an AI‐driven algorithm, Cas12fam, which allows precise annotation of 18 distinct domains in Cas12 proteins.

Recovering full-length viral genomes from metagenomes [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Infectious disease metagenomics is driven by the question: "what is causing the disease?" in contrast to classical metagenome studies which are guided by "what is out there?" In case of a novel virus, a first step to eventually establishing etiology can be to recover a full-length viral genome from a metagenomic sample.

Night at the museum: Contribution of small RNA from historical herbarium specimens in the reconstruction of evolutionary histories of geminiviruses [PDF]

, 2019
Emerging infectious diseases of plants, almost half of which are caused by viruses, are recognized as a growing threat to global food security. However, little is known about the evolutionary processes and ecological factors that underlie the emergence ...
