Abstract Background Environmental chlamydiae belonging to the Parachlamydiaceae are obligate intracellular bacteria that infect Acanthamoeba, a free-living amoeba, and are a... -
Draft genome sequences of eight bacteria isolated from the indoor environment...
Abstract We report here the draft genome sequences of eight bacterial strains of the genera Staphylococcus, Microbacterium, Mycobacterium, Plantibacter, and Pseudomonas. These... -
Millstone: software for multiplex microbial genome analysis and engineering
Abstract Inexpensive DNA sequencing and advances in genome editing have made computational analysis a major rate-limiting step in adaptive laboratory evolution and microbial... -
Improving squalene production by enhancing the NADPH/NADP+ ratio, modifying t...
Abstract Background Squalene is currently used widely in the food, cosmetics, and medicine industries. It could also replace petroleum as a raw material for fuels. Microbial... -
Identifying the effect of patient sharing on between-hospital genetic differe...
Abstract Background Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most common healthcare-associated pathogens. To examine the role of inter-hospital patient... -
Light-induced gene expression with photocaged IPTG for induction profiling in...
Abstract Background Inducible expression systems are frequently used for the production of heterologous proteins. Achieving maximum product concentrations requires induction... -
High-Quality draft genome sequence of the Lotus spp. microsymbiont Mesorhizob...
Abstract Mesorhizobium loti strain CJ3Sym was isolated in 1998 following transfer of the integrative and conjugative element ICEMlSymR7A, also known as the R7A symbiosis island,... -
Polarization-sensitive swept-source optical coherence tomography with continu...
We present fiber-based polarization-sensitive swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) based on continuous source polarization modulation. The light source is a... -
Dynamic light sheet generation and fluorescence imaging behind turbid media
Abstract Background Light sheet microscopy became a popular tool allowing fast imaging with reduced out of focus light. However, when light penetrates turbid media such as... -
Evaluation of novel inducible promoter/repressor systems for recombinant prot...
Abstract Background Engineering lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is of growing importance for food and feed industry as well as for in vivo vaccination or the production of... -
Characterization of multiple sequence alignment errors using complete-likelih...
Abstract Background Reconstruction of multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) is a crucial step in most homology-based sequence analyses, which constitute an integral part of... -
RBLOSUM performs better than CorBLOSUM with lesser error per query
Abstract Objective BLOSUM matrices serve as standard matrices for many protein sequence alignment programs. BLOSUM matrices have been constructed using BLOCKS version5.0 with... -

Manifestation of Gouy phase anomaly in a coaxial focus array generated by a D...
Gouy phase anomaly of the coaxial focus array generated by a Dammann zone plate (DZP) was investigated. Based on Debye vectorial diffraction theory, the... -
Transformation media that turn a narrow slit into a large window
Based on the transformation media theory, the authors propose a way to replace a wide window with a narrow slit filled with designed metamaterial to achieve the same... -
Public health surveillance in the UK revolutionises our understanding of the ...
Abstract Background The ST313 sequence type of Salmonella Typhimurium causes invasive non-typhoidal salmonellosis and was thought to be confined to sub-Saharan Africa. Two... -
Space-borne frequency comb metrology
Precision time references in space are of major importance to satellite-based fundamental science, global satellite navigation, earth observation, and satellite formation... -
Mechanical quantitative sensory testing in cavalier King Charles spaniels wit...
Abstract Background Syringomyelia (SM) is a debilitating condition in the cavalier King Charles spaniel (CKCS) that results in neuropathic pain and diminished quality of life.... -
2-D PSTD Simulation of optical phase conjugation for turbidity suppression
Turbidity Suppression via Optical Phase Conjugation (TS-OPC) is an optical phenomenon that uses the back propagation nature of optical phase conjugate light field to undo the... -
Visualization of activity-regulated BDNF expression in the living mouse brain...
Abstract Altered levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) have been reported in neurologically diseased human brains. Therefore, it is important to understand how the...
