Understanding the Impact of Temperate Bacteriophages on Their Lysogens Through Transcriptomics

This protocol enables the impact of prophages on their hosts to be revealed. Bacterial cultures are synchronized using conditions that best support the lysogenic state, limiting spontaneous induction. RT-qPCR unequivocally distinguishes prophage-restricted genes and those uncoupled from phage control from those that are expressed during the lytic replication cycle. Prophages…

Pan-Cancer Analysis and Validation of Opioid-Related Receptors Reveals

Introduction The potential role of opioids used in oncology patients has been controversial. Epidemiological and retrospective studies have demonstrated that lower opioid doses and regional anesthesia (epidural, intrathecal, or paravertebral) for breast,1 colon,2 or melanoma3 are linked to lower rates of cancer recurrence, while general anesthesia with high opioid doses…

Functional filter for whole-genome sequencing data identifies HHT and stress-associated non-coding SMAD4 polyadenylation site variants >5 kb from coding DNA

Summary Despite whole-genome sequencing (WGS), many cases of single-gene disorders remain unsolved, impeding diagnosis and preventative care for people whose disease-causing variants escape detection. Since early WGS data analytic steps prioritize protein-coding sequences, to simultaneously prioritize variants in non-coding regions rich in transcribed and critical regulatory sequences, we developed GROFFFY,…

Megakaryocytes possess a STING pathway that is transferred to platelets to potentiate activation

Introduction Host defence against infection relies on two important systems: the immune and the coagulation systems. Platelets are anucleate cells produced by megakaryocytes and are responsible for blood clotting and haemostasis (Lefrancais et al, 2017). They are also very abundant and play unexpected roles in immune responses (Maouia et al,…
