COD/sulfate ratio does not affect the methane yield and microbial diversity in anaerobic digesters.
(2019-05-15)Anaerobic digestion of organic matter is the major route of biomethane production. However, in the presence of sulfate, sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) typically outcompete methanogens, which may reduce or even preclude ... -
Bayesian estimation of species divergence times using correlated quantitative characters
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2019-02)Discrete morphological data have been widely used to study species evolution, but the use of quantitative (or continuous) morphological characters is less common. Here, we implement a Bayesian method to estimate species ... -
Cell cycle-dependent association of polo kinase Cdc5 with CENP-A contributes to faithful chromosome segregation in budding yeast.
(2019-04-01)Evolutionarily conserved polo-like kinase, Cdc5 (Plk1 in humans), associates with kinetochores during mitosis; however, the role of cell cycle-dependent centromeric ( CEN) association of Cdc5 and its substrates that ... -
Caste- and pesticide-specific effects of neonicotinoid pesticide exposure on gene expression in bumblebees
(Wiley, 2019)Social bees are important insect pollinators of wildflowers and agricultural crops, making their reported declines a global concern. A major factor implicated in these declines is the widespread use of neonicotinoid ... -
Iron Carbide@Carbon Nanocomposites: A Tool Box of Functional Materials.
(2019-01-21)Iron carbide (Fe₃C) is a ceramic magnetic material with high potential for applications in different fields, including catalysis, medicine imaging, coatings, and sensors. Despite its interesting properties, it is still ... -
Prediction of self-assembly of adenosine analogues in solution: a computational approach validated by isothermal titration calorimetry.
(2019-02-20)The recent discovery of the role of adenosine-analogues as neuroprotectants and cognitive enhancers has sparked interest in these molecules as new therapeutic drugs. Understanding the behavior of these molecules in solution ... -
DNA Origami Nanoarrays for Multivalent Investigations of Cancer Cell Spreading with Nanoscale Spatial Resolution and Single- Molecule Control
(American Chemical Society, 2018-12)We present a strategy for the fabrication of biomimetic nanoarrays, based on the use of DNA origami, that permits the multivalent investigation of ligand–receptor molecule interactions in cancer cell spreading, with nanoscale ... -
Automated Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging High-Content Analysis of Förster Resonance Energy Transfer between Endogenously Labeled Kinetochore Proteins in Live Budding Yeast Cells.
(SAGE, 2019-01-10)We describe an open-source automated multiwell plate fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) methodology to read out Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between fluorescent proteins (FPs) labeling endogenous kinetochore ... -
Bringing Functional Genomics into Focus
(Elsevier, 2016-09)Styles et al. develop an optimized method that combines high-content microscopy and automated phenotypic analysis with genome-wide yeast genetics to identify genes in DNA damage repair. -
Stanniocalcin 2 expression is associated with a favourable outcome in male breast cancer.
(2018-10)Breast cancer can occur in either gender; however, it is rare in men, accounting for <1% of diagnosed cases. In a previous transcriptomic screen of male breast cancer (MBC) and female breast cancer (FBC) occurrences, we ... -
Estimating mortality rates of European ash (Fraxinus excelsior) under the ash dieback (Hymenoscyphus fraxineus) epidemic
(Wiley, 2018-12-04)The ash dieback epidemic, caused by the fungus Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, has been present in Europe for over 20 years and caused widespread damage and mortality in ash tree (Fraxinus excelsior) populations. Ash is a major ... -
Low-temperature anharmonicity and symmetry breaking in the sodalite
(2018-11-21)©2018 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston 2018. The aluminosilicate iodide sodalite |Na8I2|[AlSiO4]6 was examined by temperature-dependent neutron time-of-flight powder diffraction from 5 K to 290 K and X-ray diffraction ...
