Published: March 2021

Transposon insertion sequencing is a useful tool to identify the genes that are essential for a bacterial species to grow and divide effectively. In this issue of , Fabian et al. present the first set of transposon insertion sequencing data highlighting the genes essential to the plant-commensal species strain Pf-5 and describe comparative analyses with other pseudomonads (B. K. Fabian, C. Foster, A. J. Asher, L. D. Elbourne, et al., J Bacteriol 203:e00432-20, 2021, https://doi.org/10.1128/JB.00432-20).

Four main classes of introns (group I, group II, spliceosomal, and archaeal) have been reported for all major types of RNA from nuclei and organelles of a wide range of taxa. When and how introns inserted within the genic regions of genomes, however, is often unclear. Introns were examined from Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya.

The opportunistic pathogen sp. ATCC 39006 (S39006) is a rod-shaped, motile, Gram-negative bacterium that produces a 𝛽-lactam antibiotic (a carbapenem) and a bioactive red-pigmented tripyrrole antibiotic, prodigiosin. It is also the only known enterobacterium that naturally produces intracellular gas vesicles (GVs), enabling cells to float in static water columns.

Introduction: The neuron-specific K-Cl cotransporter KCC2 maintains low intracellular chloride levels, which are crucial for fast GABAergic and glycinergic neurotransmission. KCC2 also plays a pivotal role in the development of excitatory glutamatergic neurotransmission by promoting dendritic spine maturation. The cytoplasmic C-terminal domain (KCC2-CTD) plays a critical regulatory role in the molecular mechanisms controlling the cotransporter activity through dimerization, phosphorylation, and protein interaction.

Background: In this study, we present an in-depth analysis of the Eurasian minnow (Phoxinus phoxinus) genome, highlighting its genetic diversity, structural variations, and evolutionary adaptations. We generated an annotated haplotype-phased, chromosome-level genome assembly (2n = 50) by integrating high-fidelity (HiFi) long reads and chromosome conformation capture data (Hi-C).

Results: We achieved a haploid size of 940 megabase pairs (Mbp) for haplome 1 and 929 Mbp for haplome 2 with high scaffold N50 values of 36.

In our study, we aimed to identify new mutants resulting from ONSEN transposition in Arabidopsis thaliana by subjecting nrpd1 mutants to heat stress. We isolated a mutant with a significantly elongated hypocotyl, named "Long hypocotyl in ONSEN inserted line 1" (HYO1). This phenotype was heritable, with progeny consistently displaying longer hypocotyls than the wild type.
