RNA transcripts are potential therapeutic targets, yet bacterial transcripts have uncharacterized biodiversity. We developed an algorithm for transcript prediction called tp.py using it to predict transcripts (mRNA and other RNAs) in K12 and E2348/69 strains (Bacteria:gamma-Proteobacteria), strains Scott A and RO15 (Bacteria:Firmicute), strains SG17M and NN2 strains (Bacteria:gamma-Proteobacteria), and (Archaea:Halobacteria).

We aim to outline this trajectory. This is a retrospective historical narrative.

The aim is to identify subclinical functional impairments that are otherwise undetectable by standard clinical tests and to link them to structural retinal changes.
Methods: We measured oculomotor responses in a cohort of SLE patients on chronic HCQ therapy using a previously established behavioral task and analysis technique.
Ferro-rotational (FR) materials, renowned for their distinctive material functionalities, present challenges in the growth of homo-FR crystals (i.e., single FR domain).
