Characterization of tick organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) upon bacterial and viral infections
(Springer Nature, 2018-11-14)Ixodes scapularis organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) play important roles in tick-rickettsial pathogen interactions. In this report, we characterized the role of these conserved molecules in ticks infected ... -
Pyrite cloning: a single tube and programmed reaction cloning with restriction enzymes
(Springer Nature, 2018-10-17)Insertion of engineered DNA fragments into bacterial vectors is the foundation of recombinant DNA technology, yet existing methods are still laborious, require many steps, depend on specific vector configuration, or require ... -
Analysis and correction of compositional bias in sparse sequencing count data
(Springer Nature, 2018-11-06)Count data derived from high-throughput deoxy-ribonucliec acid (DNA) sequencing is frequently used in quantitative molecular assays. Due to properties inherent to the sequencing process, unnormalized count data is ... -
Comparative genome analyses reveal sequence features reflecting distinct modes of host-adaptation between dicot and monocot powdery mildew
(Springer Nature, 2018-09-25)Powdery mildew (PM) is one of the most important and widespread plant diseases caused by biotrophic fungi. Notably, while monocot (grass) PM fungi exhibit high-level of host-specialization, many dicot PM fungi display a ... -
Examining subgroup effects by socioeconomic status of public health interventions targeting multiple risk behaviour in adolescence
(Springer Nature, 2018-10-16)Multiple risk behaviour (MRB) refers to two or more risk behaviours such as smoking, drinking alcohol, poor diet and unsafe sex. Such behaviours are known to co-occur in adolescence. It is unknown whether MRB interventions ...
