The genome of the Antarctic bacterium Pseudomonas extremaustralis was analyzed searching for genes involved in environmental adaptability focusing on anaerobic metabolism, osmoregulation, cold adaptation, exopolysacchari...

Strain P10 130, an isolated Bradyrhizobium strain from Argentina which promotes the growth of the leguminous plant Desmodium incanum by different mechanisms was previously selected as the best candidate for D. incanum in...

Abstract Background Usually Multiple Amino acids Move In and Out Transporters (UMAMITs), belonging to the MtN21/EamA-like/UMAMIT superfamily, play vital roles in amino acid transport, nodule formation, and nitrogen fixat...

IntroductionAlthough immune responses to Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) vaccination and susceptibility to mycobacterial infection vary across individuals, the underlying cellular mechanisms regulating this heterogenei...

Abstract Background Laccases (LACs) are multicopper oxidases that play vital roles in lignin polymerization, cell wall formation, and various stress responses in plants. Despite their importance, genome-wide investigatio...

BACKGROUND: For the last 25 years species delimitation in prokaryotes (Archaea and Bacteria) was to a large extent based on DNA-DNA hybridization (DDH), a tedious lab procedure designed in the early 1970s that served its...

The proliferation of large-scale DNA-sequencing projects in recent years has driven a search for alternative methods to reduce time and cost. Here we describe a scalable, highly parallel sequencing system with raw throug...

The simplicity of programming the CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)-associated nuclease Cas9 to modify specific genomic loci suggests a new way to interrogate gene function on a genome-wi...

There is increasing evidence that genome-wide association (GWA) studies represent a powerful approach to the identification of genes involved in common human diseases. We describe a joint GWA study (using the Affymetrix ...

Background: Epinotia aporema (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is an important pest of legume crops in South America. Epinotia aporema granulovirus (EpapGV) is a baculovirus that causes a polyorganotropic infection in the host ...

Stellaria Radix, known as Yinchaihu (YCH) in traditional Chinese medicine, is derived from the dried roots of Stellaria dichotoma L. var. lanceolata Bge. Despite its clinical importance in treating pediatric febrile cond...

Abstract Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are important nutrients that play critical roles in sea urchin reproduction and early development. Strongylocentrotus intermedius, the only commercially cultured sea urchin sp...

Abstract In the current study, the probiotic potential of approximately 250 strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from piglet fecal samples were investigated; among them Lactobacillus plantarum strain JDFM LP11,...

We report the first genome sequence of a Colocasia bobone disease-associated virus (CBDaV) derived from bobone-affected taro [Colocasia esculenta L. Schott] from Solomon Islands. The negative-strand RNA genome is 12,193 ...

Abstract Objective Streptococcus shenyangsis is a recently reported member of the genus Streptococcus, rarely detected in the human oral cavity and for which genomic information remains limited. To broaden our understand...

Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus CRL871 is the first strain of L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus reported as a folateproducing strain. We report the draft genome sequence of L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus CRL...

This report describes a draft genome sequence of Lactobacillus plantarum CRL1506, a probiotic strain with immunomodulatory properties isolated from goat milk. The reads generated by a whole-genome shotgun (WGS) strategy ...

We report the draft genome sequence of Fructobacillus tropaeoli CRL 2034, a strain isolated from ripe fig in Tucumán province, Argentina. The interest in studying the genome of this fructophilic lactic acid bacterium st...

Precise expression patterns of genes in time and space are essential for proper development of multicellular organisms. Dynamic chromatin conformation and spatial organization of the genome constitute a major step in thi...

Abstract Human genome-editing is banned by guidelines, laws and regulations in most countries. However, the first criminal case on genome-edited babies was sentenced in China in 2019. In this commentary we discuss our le...

Genome-wide association (GWA) studies based on GBLUP models are a common practice in animal breeding. However, effect sizes of GWA tests are small, requiring larger sample sizes to enhance power of detection of rare vari...
