Quorum sensing is a process of cell–cell communication that allows bacteria to share
information about cell density and adjust gene expression accordingly. This process …

The correlation between mRNA and protein abundances in the cell has been reported to be
notoriously poor. Recent technological advances in the quantitative analysis of mRNA and …

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) in animals are an enigmatic class of RNA with unknown function.
To explore circRNAs systematically, we sequenced and computationally analysed human …

Small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) regulate gene expression in bacteria. We designed
synthetic sRNAs to identify and modulate the expression of target genes for metabolic …

Quorum sensing is a cell-cell communication process in which bacteria use the production
and detection of extracellular chemicals called autoinducers to monitor cell population …

TonB-dependent transporters (TBDTs) are bacterial outer membrane proteins that bind and
transport ferric chelates, called siderophores, as well as vitamin B12, nickel complexes, and …

The term non-coding RNA (ncRNA) is commonly employed for RNA that does not encode a
protein, but this does not mean that such RNAs do not contain information nor have function …

Emerging models of the bacterial nucleoid show that nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs)
and transcription contribute in combination to the dynamic nature of nucleoid structure …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a metabolically versatile bacterium that is found in a wide
range of biotic and abiotic habitats. It is a major human opportunistic pathogen causing …

Background All archaeal and many bacterial genomes contain Clustered Regularly
Interspaced Short Palindrome Repeats (CRISPR) and variable arrays of the CRISPR …
