Impact of DNA mutations on lifelong blood cell production uncovered — ScienceDaily
New research has uncovered how genetic mutations hijack the production of blood cells in different periods of life. Scientists at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute, EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) and collaborators show how these changes relate to ageing and the development of age-related diseases, including…

Mechanisms involved in the transmission of genetic diseases from mother to child
Mitochondria are the organelles that produce most of the chemical energy needed by the cell. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) contains 16,569 nucleotides that can be mutated. Some of these mutations can lead to the development of mitochondrial diseases. While nuclear DNA (the well-known double helix, which encodes most of the genome)…

Cell Strain-Derived Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells as an Isogenic Approach To Investigate Age-Related Host Response to Flaviviral Infection
INTRODUCTION Dengue is the most common mosquito-borne viral disease globally (1). This acute disease, which can be life-threatening, is caused by four different dengue viruses (DENVs) (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4). An estimated 390 million people are infected with these DENVs annually (2), and populations throughout the tropics face frequent…

Early male and female germ cells regulate their gene expression differently
13 December 2021 Gene expression during early development of primordial germ cells (PGCs) is sex-specific. Research led by Professor Petra Hajkova from the Reprogramming and Chromatin research group at the Medical Research Council London Institute of Medical Sciences has shown for the first time that germ cells, which give rise…

Epistasis shapes the fitness landscape of an allosteric specificity switch
Computational design Protein modeling and design was performed with Rosetta version 3.5 (2015.19.57819)35,37. Python and shell scripts for generating input from Rosetta and analyzing from Rosetta are available at: github.com/raman-lab/biosensor_design The high-resolution TtgR structure co-crystalized with tetracycline was selected as the starting point for computational design (PDB: 2UXH)28. The structure…

Some Medications Can Accumulate in Gut Bacteria
Common medications can accumulate in gut bacteria, a new study has found, altering bacterial function and potentially reducing the medications’ effectiveness. “If we can characterise how people respond depending on the composition of their microbiome, then drug treatments could be individualised,”Kiran Patil These interactions – seen for many drugs including…

Multiform antimicrobial resistance from a metabolic mutation
Abstract A critical challenge for microbiology and medicine is how to cure infections by bacteria that survive antibiotic treatment by persistence or tolerance. Seeking mechanisms behind such high survival, we developed a forward-genetic method for efficient isolation of high-survival mutants in any culturable bacterial species. We found that perturbation of…
