The present erratum is in regards to our article entitled ‘Ancient DNA and the tropics: a rodent's tale’. We were made aware of problems with some of the ancient sequences submitted to GenBank and conducted a systematic review of all the files used in our study. We discovered that, unfortunately, an incorrect file was sent to GenBank and was also used in some of our downstream analyses. We immediately contacted GenBank, explained the situation and corrected the file. We have redone some analyses with the correct file and describe these changes below.

Cytomegalovirus infections and reactivations are more frequent in people living with HIV (PLWH) and have been associated with increased risk of HIV progression and immunosenescence. We explored the impact of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) on latent CMV infection in 225 young adults parenterally infected with HIV during childhood. Anti-CMV IgG antibodies were present in 93.

Cytosine Methylation Changes the Preferred Cis-Regulatory Configuration of Arabidopsis WUSCHEL-Related Homeobox 14.

The Arabidopsis transcription factor WUSCHEL-related homeobox 14 (AtWOX14) plays versatile roles in plant growth and development. However, its biochemical specificity of DNA binding, its genome-wide regulatory targets, and how these are affected by DNA methylation remain uncharacterized. To clarify the biochemistry underlying the regulatory function of AtWOX14, using the recently developed 5mC-incorporation strategy, this study performed SELEX and DAP-seq for AtWOX14 both in the presence and absence of cytosine methylation, systematically curated 65 motif models and identified 51,039 genomic binding sites for AtWOX14, and examined how 5mC affects DNA binding of AtWOX14 through bioinformatic analyses.

Background: The Tephritidae family, commonly referred to as true fruit flies, comprises of a substantial group within order Diptera. Numerous species within this family are major agricultural pests, with a tendency to infest a wide array of fruits and vegetables in tropical and sub- tropical regions, leading to considerable damage and consequent reductions in the market value of the crops.

Methods And Results: The current study was aimed to propose a promising solution to the menace posed by fruit flies by offering rapid, accurate and reliable species identification by using character-based DNA barcode methodology.
