Fungal hyphae are among the most highly polarized cells. Hyphal polarized
growth is supported by tip-directed transport of secretory vesicles, which accumulate temporarily
in a stratified manner in an apical vesicle cluster, the Spitzenkörper. The exocyst complex
is required for tethering of secretory vesicles to the apical plasma membrane. We...

Ligand activation of the aryl hydrocarbon (AHR) has profound effects upon the immunological status of the gastrointestinal tract, establishing and maintaining signaling networks, which facilitate host-microbe homeostasis at the mucosal interface. However, the identity of the ligand(s) responsible for such AHR-mediated activation within the gut remains to be firmly established....

Trophic interactions within and among species vary widely across spatial scales and species’ ontogeny. However, the drivers and implications of this variability are not well understood. Juvenile Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha have a wide distribution, ranging from northern California to the eastern Bering Sea in North America, but it is...

To address patterns of genetic connectivity in a mass-aggregating marine fish, we analyzed genetic variation in
mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), microsatellites, and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for Nassau grouper (Epinephelus
striatus). We expected Nassau grouper to exhibit genetic differentiation among its subpopulations due to its reproductive
behavior and retentive oceanographic conditions...

The filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa responds to light in complex ways. To thoroughly
study the transcriptional response of this organism to light, RNA-seq was used to analyze capped and
polyadenylated mRNA prepared from mycelium grown for 24 hr in the dark and then exposed to light for
0 (control) 15,...

Stream-dwelling species in the U.S. southern Appalachian Mountains region are particularly vulnerable to climate change and acidification. The objectives of this study were to quantify the spatial extent of contemporary suitable habitat for acid- and thermally sensitive aquatic species and to forecast future habitat loss resulting from expected temperature increases...

We investigated DNA methylomes of pediatric B-cell
acute lymphoblastic leukemias (B-ALLs) using
whole-genome bisulfite sequencing and high-definition
microarrays, along with RNA expression
profiles. Epigenetic alteration of B-ALLs occurred in
two tracks: de novo methylation of small functional
compartments and demethylation of large intercompartmental
backbones. The deviations were exaggerated
in lamina-associated...
The Leguminosae has emerged as a model for studying angiosperm plastome evolution because of its striking diversity of structural rearrangements and sequence variation. However, most of what is known about legume plastomes comes from few genera representing a subset of lineages in subfamily Papilionoideae. We investigate plastome evolution in subfamily...

BACKGROUND: After 2 decades of focused efforts to eradicate polio, the impact of eradication activities on health
systems continues to be controversial. This study evaluated the impact of polio eradication activities on routine immunization
(RI) and primary healthcare (PHC).
METHODS: Quantitative analysis assessed the effects of polio eradication campaigns on...
