Bacterial contamination is a very serious health and environmental problem, with the main source of toxicity being lipopolysaccharides in the cell walls of Gram-negative bacteria. Therefore, the development of effective analytical methods is crucial for the detection of lipopolysaccharide content. This work facilitates the efficient generation of precisely adjustable dual-mode signals for LPS detection in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) by inducing anisotropic morphological evolution of Au@Ag nanocubes (Au@AgNCs) through poly-cytosine (poly-C) DNA.

Hypoxia severely limits the antitumor immunotherapy for breast cancer. Although efforts to alleviate tumor hypoxia and drug delivery using diverse nanostructures achieve promising results, the creation of a versatile controllable oxygen-releasing nano-platform for co-delivery with immunostimulatory molecules remains a persistent challenge. To address this problem, a versatile oxygen controllable releasing vehicle PFOB@F127@PDA (PFPNPs) is developed, which effectively co-delivered either protein drug lactate oxidase (LOX) or nucleic acids drug unmethylated cytosine-phosphate-guanine oligonucleotide (CpG ODNs).

Flower color is an important character of ornamental plants and one of the main target traits for variety innovation. We previously identified a CmMYB6 epigenetic allele that affects the flower color in chrysanthemum, and changes in flower color are caused by the DNA methylation level of this gene. However, it is still unknown which DNA methyltransferases are involved in modifying the DNA methylation levels of this gene.

5-Methylcytosine (5mC) is the most significant DNA modification present in mammalian genomes. Understanding the roles of 5mC in diverse biological processes requires quantitative detection at single-base resolution. In this study, we engineered the repressor of the silencing 1 (ROS1) protein derived from to enhance its 5mC glycosylase/lyase activity, resulting in the creation of the engineered ROS1 (eROS1) protein.

Identifying differentially methylated cytosine-guanine dinucleotide (CpG) sites between benign and tumour samples can assist in understanding disease. However, differential analysis of bounded DNA methylation data often requires data transformation, reducing biological interpretability. To address this, a family of beta mixture models (BMMs) is proposed that (i) objectively infers methylation state thresholds and (ii) identifies differentially methylated CpG sites (DMCs) given untransformed, beta-valued methylation data.
