Bacteria of the Firmicutes phylum are able to enter a developmental pathway that culminates
with the formation of highly resistant, dormant endospores. Endospores allow environmental …

Many human genes are transcribed from both strands and produce sense-antisense gene
pairs. Sense-antisense (SAS) chimeric transcripts are produced upon the coalescing of …

Bacterial genomes contain a huge amount of different genes. These genes are
spatiotemporally expressed to accomplish some required functions within the organism …

Riboswitches are cis-acting regulatory RNA biosensors that rival the efficiency of those
found in proteins. At the heart of their regulatory function is the formation of a highly specific …

Riboswitches are cis-regulatory non-coding genomic segments that control the expression
of downstream genes by undergoing conformational change upon ligand binding. We …

Riboswitches are conserved structural ribonucleic acid (RNA) sensors that are mainly found
to regulate a large number of genes/operons in bacteria. Presently,> 50 bacterial riboswitch …

Riboswitches are metabolite or ion sensing cis-regulatory elements that regulate the
expression of the associated genes involved in biosynthesis or transport of the …

Lytic bacteriophages have been well documented to play a pivotal role in microbial ecology
due to their complex interactions with bacterial species, especially in aquatic habitats …

Simple Summary The microevolutionary dynamics of soil bacteria under microclimatic
differences are largely unexplored in contrast to our improving knowledge of their vast …

As genome sequencing efforts are unveiling the genetic diversity of the biosphere with an
unprecedented speed, there is a need to accurately describe the structural and functional …
