Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are a large segment of the transcriptome that do not have
apparent protein-coding roles, but they have been verified to play important roles in diverse …

Plant-parasitic nematodes are a costly burden of crop production. Ubiquitous in nature,
phytoparasitic nematodes are associated with nearly every important agricultural crop and …

Parasitic helminths release molecular effectors into their hosts and these effectors can
directly damage host tissue and modulate host immunity. Excreted/secreted proteins (ESPs) …

Obtaining sufficient genetic material from a limited biological source is currently the primary
operational bottleneck in studies investigating biodiversity and genome evolution. In this …

Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is one of the most important diseases in soybean. Currently,
the main management strategy relies on planting resistant cultivars. However, the overuse of …

The intracellular level of fatty aldehydes is tightly regulated by aldehyde dehydrogenases to
minimize the formation of toxic lipid and protein adducts. Importantly, the dysregulation of …

The transcriptional co-regulator SIN3 influences gene expression through multiple
interactions that include histone deacetylases. Haploinsufficiency and mutations in SIN3 are …

In asexual animals, female meiosis is modified to produce diploid oocytes. If meiosis still
involves recombination, this is expected to lead to a rapid loss of heterozygosity, with …

Background Caenorhabditis elegans is an excellent research model whose populations
have been used in many studies to address various biological questions. Although worm-to …

Wounding initiates intricate responses crucial for tissue repair and regeneration. Yet, the
gene regulatory networks governing wound healing remain poorly understood. Here …
