Abstract

The contiguous sequence of 1,003,450 bp spanning map positions 64% to 92% of the genome of Synechocystis sp. strain PCC6803 has been deduced. Computer analysis of the sequence predicts that this region contains at least 818 potential ORFs, in which 255 (31%) were either genes that had already been identified or their homologues, 84 (10%) were homologues to registered hypothetical genes, and 149 (18%) showed weak similarities to reported genes. The remaining 330 ORFs showed no apparent similarity to any reported genes or carried no significant protein motifs. The potential ORFs as a whole occupied 86% of the sequenced region, implying compact arrangement of genes in the genome. As to the structural RNA genes, one rRNA operon consisting of 5,028 bp and at least 11 species of tRNA genes were identified. It is noteworthy that 10 out of the 11 tRNA species showed significant sequence similarities to tRNAs reported in plant chloroplasts. As other notable unique sequences, three classes of IS-like elements each with characteristics typical of IS elements were identified, and a typical unit of WD(Trp-Asp)-repeats which have only been detected in the regulatory proteins of eukaryotes was identified within the large 5,079-bp ORF located ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
