The genes encoding the mitogen-activated protein kinases DRL-1 and FLR-4 are required for growth and lipid homeostasis in . Interestingly, the mutant, which was previously isolated in a forward genetic screen for mutations that confer fluoride resistance, phenocopies the and loss-of-function mutants; however, the genetic identity of is unknown. Through whole genome sequencing, we found that the mutation is an insertion in the locus and disrupts gene function, resulting in dramatic growth defects and impaired vitellogenin production.

Acetate is a biological anion with many applications in the chemical and food industries. In addition to being a common microbial fermentative end-product, acetate can be produced by photosynthetic cyanobacteria from CO using solar energy. Using wild-type cells of the unicellular model cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC 6803 only low levels of acetate are observed outside the cells.

Using male sterile (MS) lines instead of normal inbred maternal lines in hybrid seed production can increase the yield and quality with lower production costs. Therefore, developing a new MS germplasm is essential for maize hybrid seed production in the future. Here, we reported a male sterility gene , cloned from a newly found MS mutant .

Background: Pseudomonas syringae pv. tagetis (Pstag) causes apical chlorosis on sunflower and various other plants of the Asteraceae family. Whole genome sequencing of Pstag strain EB037 and transposon-mutant derivatives, no longer capable of causing apical chlorosis, was conducted to improve understanding of the molecular basis of disease caused by this pathogen.

The organization of the human genome in space and time is critical for transcriptional regulation and cell fate determination. However, robust methods for tracking genome organization or genomic interactions over time in living cells are lacking. Here, we developed a multicolor DNA labeling system, ParSite, to simultaneously track triple genomic loci in the U2OS cells.

Background: Most cases of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) can be diagnosed by copy number analysis of survival motor neuron (SMN) 1. However, a small number of cases of SMA can only be diagnosed by sequencing analysis. We present a case of SMA diagnosed 7 years after the onset of symptoms.
