During parasitoid wasp infection, activated immune cells of Drosophila melanogaster larvae release adenosine to conserve nutrients for immune response. S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is a methyl group ...

On the battleground of the human body, microbes use every skill to mask, infiltrate, manipulate, and evade the immune radar.

Methods: Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma tissues from 3 patients and non-cancerous nasopharyngeal tissues from 3 individuals, all from Fujian Cancer Hospital, were sequenced for m6A methylation. These were ...

They have deployed a bacteria to help them achieve this. Professor Debasish Das and Dr Krishna Kalyani Sahoo of the Department of Biosciences and Bioengineering, IIT Guwahati, have developed an ...

A major tool in these studies is single-cell epitranscriptomics, which studies RNA modifications like m6A methylation, which can significantly influence gene regulation and are important in ...

The team used a supervised machine learning technique to predict the age of a baboon at the time of sampling based on the bacterial taxa present in its feces. The dataset included 13,563samples ...

Yoshiki Ochiai, the paper's first author and Ph.D. student in the Protein Engineering and Evolution Unit, tried to improve RNA methylation activity of a bacterial non-site-specific DNA ...

Like bacteria, viruses can cause disease. But unlike bacteria, viral pathogens are not technically living cells. They can only replicate inside another organism, meaning they need a host. These germs ...

They compared data from stool samples collected from coffee drinkers and non-drinkers to identify differences in their gut bacteria ... abundance of all microbial DNA in a sample.
