The current state of biosensor-based techniques for amplification-free microRNA (miRNA)
detection is critically reviewed. Comparison with non-sensor and amplification-based …

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract, including the rumen and the other intestinal segments of
cattle, harbors a diverse, complex, and dynamic microbiome that drives feed digestion and …

Background Understanding ethanol tolerance in microorganisms is important for the
improvement of bioethanol production. Hence, we performed parallel-evolution experiments …

Detection of DNA sequence variation is critical to biomedical applications, including disease
genetic identification, diagnosis and treatment, drug discovery and forensic analysis. Here …

It remains to be determined experimentally whether increasing fitness is related to positive
selection, while stationary fitness is related to neutral evolution. Long-term laboratory …

For anticancer therapy and disease prognosis in breast cancer, three PIK3CA point-
mutations (H1047R, E545K, and E542K) play a significant role. To allow for specific and …

Population‐scale molecular studies of endangered and cryptic species are often limited by
access to high‐quality samples. The use of noninvasively collected samples or museum …

The study of biomolecular interactions at the single-molecule level holds great potential for
both basic science and biotechnology applications. Single-molecule studies often rely on …

Abstract “Non-growing” is a dominant life form of microorganisms in nature, where available
nutrients and resources are limited. In laboratory culture systems, Escherichia coli can …

Motivation: In the brain of elderly-healthy individuals, the effects of sexual dimorphism and
those due to normal aging appear overlapped. Discrimination of these two dimensions …
