A Jungle in There: Bacteria in Belly Buttons are Highly Diverse, but Predictable
The belly button is one of the habitats closest to us, and yet it remains relatively unexplored. We analyzed bacteria and arachaea from the belly buttons of humans from two different populations sampled within a nation-wide citizen science project. We examined bacterial and archaeal phylotypes present and their diversity using multiplex pyrosequencing of 16S rDNA libraries. We then tested the o...
متن کاملTowards Predictable Computer-Aided Designs for Synthetic Gene Circuits: Application to Gene-Metabolic Oscillator in Bacteria
Advances in molecular biology and the reduced costs in genetic modifications promoted the emergence of systems and synthetic biology over the last decade. In principle, these approaches can be applied on system level design for specific biological behavior through rewiring natural connectivity in the regulatory network. However, reality suggests otherwise: even for simple gene circuits, design ...
متن کاملMSX1 Mutation in Witkop Syndrome; A Case Report
The Witkop syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the absence of several teeth and abnormalities of the nails. This is the first report of a rare genetic tooth and nail syndrome diagnosed in a 2.5-year-old boy with early exfoliation of the primary canine, absence of the primary incisors, and nail dysplasia. A homozygous mutation was identified in 3’-UTR of MSX1 gene in ...
متن کاملEvidence That Mutation Is Universally Biased towards AT in Bacteria
Mutation is the engine that drives evolution and adaptation forward in that it generates the variation on which natural selection acts. Mutation is a random process that nevertheless occurs according to certain biases. Elucidating mutational biases and the way they vary across species and within genomes is crucial to understanding evolution and adaptation. Here we demonstrate that clonal pathog...
متن کاملTransposon-mediated directed mutation in bacteria and eukaryotes.
Transposon-mediated "directed" mutations occur at higher frequencies when beneficial than when detrimental and relieve the stress that causes them. The first and best-studied example involves regulation of Insertion Sequence-5 (IS5) insertion into a specific activating site upstream of the glycerol utilization operon in Escherichia coli, glpFK. This event promotes high level expression of the g...
