Unearthing modified RNAs
in cells. To explore this landscape further, Kowtoniuk et al. have developed chemical profiling methods to identify RNA–small molecule conjugates occurring in cells. The two different approaches used both apply chemical cleavage conditions to a fraction of total cellular RNA from the bacteria Escherichia coli and Streptomyces venezuelae. The resulting small-molecule fractions were then analyzed...
متن کاملThe conceptual challenge of systems biology.
Molecular biology continues to evolve at a rapid rate. Besides contributing to a massive increase of data on the building blocks of living organisms and to the development of technological tools to uncover these data, the widely adopted ‘post-genomic’ perspective increasingly challenges genetic reductionism and the reduction of biology to one subdiscipline or to physics. The perceived need for ...
متن کاملUnearthing ectomycorrhizal dynamics.
We are in the midst of a revolution in field research of microbial ecology (Horton & Bruns, 2001). Historically, soil biologists have been hampered by difficulties inherent with working on microscopic organisms below ground. However, recent advances in molecular approaches have greatly facilitated our ability to survey microbial communities in situ. These techniques have become relatively inexp...
متن کاملCleidocranial Dysplasia-Unearthing the Treasure
Cleidocranial dysplasia is an autosomal dominant condition caused by mutation of RUNX2, involving the skeleton and the teeth. It presents with a major finding of the hypoplasia or aplasia of clavicles along with late closure of the fontanels, presence of open skull sutures and multiple wormian bones. Although not frequent it can present to the dentist commonly with significant retention of mult...
متن کاملUnearthing the Phylogenetic Roots of Sleep
Why we sleep remains one of the enduring unanswered questions in biology. At its core, sleep can be defined behaviorally as a homeostatically regulated state of reduced movement and sensory responsiveness. The cornerstone of sleep studies in terrestrial mammals, including humans, has been the measurement of coordinated changes in brain activity during sleep measured using the electroencephalogr...
