Systematic Identification and Analysis of Light-Responsive Circular RNA and Co-expression Networks in Lettuce (Lactuca sativa).

Systematic Identification and Analysis of Light-Responsive Circular RNA and Co-expression Networks in Lettuce (Lactuca sativa).

Circular RNA (circRNA) is a covalently-closed single-stranded RNA molecule that plays an important role in transcriptional regulation of gene expression in a variety of species. Light intensity is a pivotal environmental factor affecting plant growth and development. However, little is known regarding photoresponsive plant circRNAs. Here, we aimed to investigate the expression and function of circRNAs in lettuce leaves […]

Genome Sequencing of SAV3 Reveals Repeated Seeding Events of Viral Strains in Norwegian Aquaculture.

Genome Sequencing of SAV3 Reveals Repeated Seeding Events of Viral Strains in Norwegian Aquaculture.

Understanding the dynamics of pathogen transfer in aquaculture systems is essential to manage and mitigate disease outbreaks. The goal of this study was to understand recent transmission dynamics of salmonid alphavirus (SAV) in Norway. SAV causes significant economic impacts on farmed salmonids in European aquaculture. SAV is classified into six subtypes, with Norway having ongoing

Recent advances in understanding mitochondrial genome diversity.

Recent advances in understanding mitochondrial genome diversity.

Ever since its discovery, the double-stranded DNA contained in the mitochondria of eukaryotes has fascinated researchers attributable to its bacterial endosymbiotic origin, important place in encoding subunits of the respiratory complexes, compact nature, and specific inheritance mechanisms. In the last few years, high-throughput sequencing strategies have accelerated the sequencing of mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) and uncovered
