Single Cell Multiomic Approaches to Disentangle T Cell Heterogeneity.

Single-cell multi-omics is a rapidly evolving field, thanks to a fast technological improvement and the growing accuracy of dedicated computational tools for data analysis. Its importance is highlighted by the possibility to distinguish apparently identical cells based on their pattern of gene expression. In this review, the mostly used methodological pipelines for single-cell analysis, as well as the advantages and potential limitations of several analytical steps, are presented and discussed, with specific sections focusing on crucial parts of this procedure, their bioinformatic tools, as well as their advantages and potential drawbacks.

The Genome of Enterobacter hormaechei Strain MG02, a 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid-Degrading Bacterium Isolated from Brazilian Soil.

Enterobacter hormaechei strain MG02 was isolated from a mixed culture collected from soil with a history of pesticide application. This strain degrades 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). Here, we report on its genome, which has 4,923,875 bp and 55.

Insights Into sp. Metabolism Based on Comparative Genomics.

Currently only four genome sequences for spp. are publicly available, and information on the genetic properties of cyanobacteria belonging to this genus is limited. In this study, we report the draft genome of sp.

Draft Genome Sequence of sp. Strain CACIAM 70d, a Cyanobacterium Isolated from an Amazonian Freshwater Environment.

In order to increase the genomic data of cyanobacterial strains isolated in Brazil, we hereby present the draft genome sequence of the sp. strain CACIAM 70d, isolated from an Amazonian freshwater environment. This report describes the first genome available for this genus.

Anti-dengue virus activity of scytovirin and evaluation of point mutation effects by molecular dynamics and binding free energy calculations.

The absence of a specific treatment against DENV has led to intensive research into developing strategies for curing the infection. One lectin with high antiviral activity is scytovirin, which was isolated from the cyanobacterium Scytonema varium and has proven activity against HIV and Zaire Ebola Virus. To achieve the results presented here, we tested the affinity of full-length scytovirin, SD1 and SD2 separately, and six SD1 mutants for DENV glycoprotein E carbohydrate by Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations and binding free energy calculations.

Zika virus disrupts molecular fingerprinting of human neurospheres.

Zika virus (ZIKV) has been associated with microcephaly and other brain abnormalities; however, the molecular consequences of ZIKV to human brain development are still not fully understood. Here we describe alterations in human neurospheres derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells infected with the strain of Zika virus that is circulating in Brazil. Combining proteomics and mRNA transcriptional profiling, over 500 proteins and genes associated with the Brazilian ZIKV infection were found to be differentially expressed.

Draft Genome Sequence of Microcystis aeruginosa CACIAM 03, a Cyanobacterium Isolated from an Amazonian Freshwater Environment.

Given its toxigenic potential, Microcystis aeruginosa is an important bloom-forming cyanobacterium. Here, we present a draft genome and annotation of the strain CACIAM 03, which was isolated from an Amazonian freshwater environment.

Investigating the effects of point mutations on the affinity between the cyanobacterial lectin microvirin and high mannose-type glycans present on the HIV envelope glycoprotein.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections continue to exert an enormous impact on global human health. This led experts to emphasize the importance of new measures for preventing HIV infections, including the development of vaccines and novel drugs. In this context, a promising approach involves the use of lectins that can bind the surface envelope glycoprotein gp120 of HIV with high affinity, preventing viral entry.

Complete genome sequence of Piry vesiculovirus.

Piry virus (PIRYV) is a rhabdovirus (genus Vesiculovirus) and is described as a possible human pathogen, originally isolated from a Philander opossum trapped in Para State, Northern Brazil. This study describes the complete full coding sequence and the genetic characterization of PIRYV. The genome sequence reveals that PIRYV has a typical vesiculovirus-like organization, encoding the five genes typical of the genus.
