This fundamental study has major implications that can be paradigm-shifting for our understanding of how the phage lambda DNA motor works and what the precise roles of the TerS and TerL proteins in ...

Coral reefs, the most biodiverse habitats in the ocean, are formed by anthozoan cnidarians, the scleractinian corals. Recently, however, ongoing climate change has imperiled scleractinian corals and ...

Over the past 15 years, sequencing of the human genome and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project have led to comprehensive lists of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and gene mutations across a ...

In the human organism, guanylate-binding proteins (GBPs) are involved in antimicrobial and antiviral activity, but the mechanism of GBPs’ action remains poorly understood. We have discovered that ...

Podoconiosis is a tropical lymphedema resulting from long-term barefoot exposure to red-clay soil derived from volcanic rock. The World Health Organization recently designated it as a neglected ...

Structural variation of large segments (>1 kb), including copy-number variation and unbalanced inversion events, is widespread in human genomes 1,2,3,4,5,6 with ∼20,000 SVs presently reported in the ...

Ribavirin is a nucleotide analog that can be incorporated by viral polymerases, causing mutations by allowing base mismatches. It is currently used therapeutically as an antiviral drug during ...
