Condition-specific promoter activities in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Abstract Background Saccharomyces cerevisiae is widely studied for production of biofuels and biochemicals. To improve production efficiency under industrially relevant... -
New-onset non-infectious pulmonary manifestations among patients with systemi...
Abstract Objective The objective was to estimate the incidence of lung disease among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods Using Swedish register data, we... -
The contribution of culturomics to the repertoire of isolated human bacterial...
Abstract After a decade of research and metagenomic analyses, our knowledge of the human microbiota appears to have reached a plateau despite promising results. In many studies,... -
Transcriptionally promiscuous "blurry" promoters in Tc1/mariner transposons a...
Abstract Background We have recently described a peculiar feature of the promoters in two Drosophila Tc1-like elements, Bari1 and Bari3. The AT-richness and the presence of weak... -
Origin, evolution and conservation of the honey bees from La Palma Island (Ca...
Genetic studies have shown a significant hybridization of local populations of Apis mellifera in the Canary Islands, as a consequence of queen importation. Since La Palma Island... -
Capturing the diversity of the human gut microbiota through culture-enriched ...
Abstract Background The human gut microbiota has been implicated in most aspects of health and disease; however, most of the bacteria in this community are considered... -
A food-grade expression system for d-psicose 3-epimerase production in Bacill...
Abstract Background Food-grade expression systems require that the resultant strains should only contain materials from food-safe microorganisms, and no antibiotic resistance... -
Draft genome sequence of Halomonas meridiana R1t3 isolated from the surface m...
Abstract Members of the gammaproteobacterial genus Halomonas are common in marine environments. Halomonas and other members of the Oceanospirillales have recently been... -
Characterization of a strong and constitutive promoter from the Arabidopsis s...
Abstract Background Transgenic technology has become an important technique for crop genetic improvement. The application of well-characterized promoters is essential for... -
TSS seq based core promoter architecture in blood feeding Tsetse fly (Glossin...
Abstract Background Transcription initiation regulation is mediated by sequence-specific interactions between DNA-binding proteins (transcription factors) and cis-elements,... -
Food systems transformations, ultra-processed food markets and the nutrition ...
Abstract Background Attracted by their high economic growth rates, young and growing populations, and increasingly open markets, transnational food and beverage corporations... -
A Waste Supply-Use Analysis of Australian Waste Flows
Abstract In this paper we apply the Lenzen and Reynolds (2014) Waste Supply Use Table extension of Nakamura and Kondo’s (2002a) Waste Input–Output (WIO) framework to the 2008... -
Molecular mechanism of the priming by jasmonic acid of specific dehydration s...
Abstract Background Plant genes that provide a different response to a similar dehydration stress illustrate the concept of transcriptional ‘dehydration stress memory’.... -
Accuracy of genomic selection for grain yield and agronomic traits in soft re...
Abstract Background Genomic selection has the potential to increase genetic gains by using molecular markers as predictors of breeding values of individuals. This study... -
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... -
Grape seed-derived procyanidins alleviate gout pain via NLRP3 inflammasome su...
Abstract Background Gout is one of the common inflammatory arthritis which affects many people for inflicting unbearable pain. Macrophage-mediated inflammation plays an... -
Production of human pro-relaxin H2 in the yeast Pichia pastoris
Abstract Background Initially known as the reproductive hormone, relaxin was shown to possess other therapeutically useful properties that include extracellular matrix... -
Production of rosmarinic acid and correlated gene expression in hairy root cu...
Rosmarinic acid (RA) is an active constituent of Ocimum basilicum. It has been shown that hairy root production (measured as dry weight) improves when green basil (O. basilicum... -
Canalization of gene expression is a major signature of regulatory cold adapt...
Abstract Background Transcriptome analysis may provide means to investigate the underlying genetic causes of shared and divergent phenotypes in different populations and help to... -
Genetic analysis of novel phenotypes for farm animal resilience to weather va...
Abstract Background Climate change is expected to have a negative impact on food availability. While most efforts have been directed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions,...
