Effect of seed circulation systems on the spread and diversity of Xanthomonas phaseoli pv. manihotis infecting cassava crops of the Colombian Caribbean

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 353-364, January 2026.
Cassava is a lifeline for millions of people across the tropics, but its productivity is at risk from a disease called Cassava Bacterial Blight (CBB). In this study, we explore how the everyday practices of farmers exchanging cassava cuttings—a long‐standing tradition—can shape how the disease spreads and evolves in the Colombian Caribbean.

Mucin variable number tandem repeat polymorphisms and severity of cystic fibrosis lung disease: significant association with MUC5AC. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Variability in cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease is partially due to non-CFTR genetic modifiers. Mucin genes are very polymorphic, and mucins play a key role in the pathogenesis of CF lung disease; therefore, mucin genes are strong candidates as genetic ...

Characterization of the COL2A1 VNTR Polymorphism

Genomics, 1993
The variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) region 3' to the collagen type II gene (COL2A1) was amplified in vitro by the polymerase chain reaction. Subsequent high-resolution gel electrophoresis showed that the five earlier reported alleles could be further subtyped.

Non‐canonical nitric oxide signalling and DNA methylation: Inflammation induced epigenetic alterations and potential drug targets

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 1, Page 24-39, January 2026.
Abstract DNA methylation controls DNA accessibility to transcription factors and other regulatory proteins, thereby affecting gene expression and hence cellular identity and function. As epigenetic modifications control the transcriptome, epigenetic dysfunction is strongly associated with pathological conditions and ageing.

DNA methylation at the DAT promoter and risk for psychopathology. Intergenerational transmission between school-age youths and their parents in a community sample [PDF]

, 2018
Background: The effect of gene polymorphisms and promoter methylation, associated with maladaptive developmental outcomes, vary depending on environmental factors (e.g., parental psychopathology).

Mycobacterium tuberculosis lineage: a naming of the parts [PDF]

, 2005
There have been many reports of groups of related Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains described variously as lineages, families or clades. There is no objective definition of these groupings making it impossible to define relationships between those ...

Genome-wide prediction of human VNTRs

Genomics, 2005
Polymorphic minisatellites, also known as variable number of tandem repeats (VNTRs), are tandem repeat regions that show variation in the number of repeat units among chromosomes in a population. Currently, there are no general methods for predicting which minisatellites have a high probability of being polymorphic, given their sequence characteristics.

AIRE's Complex Role Beyond Promiscuous Gene Expression

Immunological Reviews, Volume 337, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Central tolerance, established in the thymus, ensures T cells are nonreactive to self‐antigens while maintaining a functional immune repertoire. Medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) and thymic dendritic cells (DCs) play a crucial role in this mechanism by orchestrating the selection and deletion of autoreactive thymocytes, a process ...

Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases-producing Escherichia coli in common vampire bats Desmodus rotundus and livestock in Peru [PDF]

, 2018
Antibiotic resistance mediated by bacterial production of extended‐spectrum beta‐lactamase (ESBL) is a global threat to public health. ESBL resistance is most commonly hospital‐acquired; however, infections acquired outside of hospital settings have ...
