Different arthropod species are vectors of a wide array of arboviruses (arthropod-borne viruses) and have likely been central to viral evolution. To better understand the extent of arthropod-borne pathogens, as well as their origin and evolutionary history, it is crucial to uncover the full range of microbial agents, including viruses associated wi...

This study systematically investigated the effect of organic micropollutants (OMPs) on biofouling in forward osmosis (FO) integrating wastewater treatment and seawater dilution. Synthetic seawater (0.6 M sodium chloride) was used as a draw solution and synthetic municipal wastewater as a feed solution. To evaluate the impact of OMPs in a replicate ...

The family Togaviridae comprises several significant human and veterinary mosquito-borne pathogens. Two togaviruses (genus Alphavirus) have been previously identified in association with marine mammals, the southern elephant seal virus (SESV) and Eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV) from a fatal captive harbor seal infection. Herein we report t...

Cancer is a dreadful disease, with genetics being a significant causative etiological factor. About 5–10% of the cancers arise through the congenital alteration of a group of genes which are predisposition genetic factor. Inherited mutation can play a role in leading or receding fashion that can deliberate varied degree of penetrance. The risk for ...

RNA modifications are present in most cellular RNAs and are formed posttranscriptionally by enzymatic machineries that involve hundreds of enzymes and cofactors. RNA modifications impact the life cycle of the RNA, its stability, folding, cellular localization, as well as interactions with RNA and protein partners. RNA modifications are important fo...

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) represent the most toxic form of DNA damage and can arise in either physiological or pathological conditions. If left unrepaired, these DSBs can lead to genome instability which serves as a major driver to tumorigenesis and other pathologies. Consequently, localizing DSBs and understanding the dynamics of break forma...

Posttranscriptional RNA modifications have recently emerged as essential posttranscriptional regulators of gene expression. Here we present two methods for single nucleotide resolution detection of 5-formylcytosine (f5C) in RNA. The first relies on chemical protection of f5C against bisulfite treatment, the second method is based on chemical reduct...

Selective 2'-hydroxyl acylation analyzed by primer extension (SHAPE) is a widely used technique for studying the structure and function of RNA molecules. It characterizes the flexibility of single nucleotides in the context of the local RNA structure. Here we describe the application of SHAPE-MaP (mutational profiling) to study different conformati...

The current global outbreak of COVID-19 due to SARS-CoV-2 is an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. Considering the gravity of its impact there is an immediate need to develop a detection technique that is sensitive, specific, fast, and affordable for the clinical diagnosis of the disease. Real time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)-based detection...
