In all cells-from bacteria to humans-nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a highly conserved, versatile DNA repair pathway that is responsible for the removal of a wide variety of DNA helix-distorting lesions arising from both endogenous and exogenous sources. In many organisms including bacteria, fungi, animals, and plants, NER occurs through two sub-pathways: the global genome NER (GG-NER) pathway and the transcription- coupled NER (TC-NER) pathway. Although essential factors and basic steps involved in NER have been identified, mechanisms and stages of their assembly process are not well understood. In this review, we summarize recent literature about protein interaction networks that manifest during initial stages of bacterial NER pathway while highlighting some of the key functional studies.

Catabolic plasmids are critical factors in the degradation of recalcitrant xenobiotics, such as dioxins. Understanding the persistence and evolution of native catabolic plasmids is pivotal for controlling their function in microbial remediation. Here, we track the fitness and evolution of Rhodococcus sp.

Background: Previous observational studies have suggested a potential association between heart rate variability (HRV) and cerebrovascular disease. However, a causal relationship between the two has not yet been established.
Aims: The objective of this study was to determine the causal relationship between heart rate variability (HRV) and stroke through a two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis.

Introduction: China implemented a dynamic zero-COVID strategy to curb viral transmission in response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This strategy was designed to inhibit mutation of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus responsible for COVID-19. This study explores the dynamics of viral evolution under stringent non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) through real-world observations.
