An outbreak of betacoronavirus severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV-2 began in
Wuhan, China in December 2019. COVID-19, the disease associated with SARS-CoV-2 …

The AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR (ARF) gene family products, together with the AUXIN/INDOLE-3-ACETIC
ACID proteins, regulate auxin-mediated transcriptional activation/repression. …

Functional analysis of a genome requires accurate gene structure information and a complete
gene inventory. A dual experimental strategy was used to verify and correct the initial …

<p id="p001">A 14-year-old boy with severe combined immunodeficiency presented three
times to a medical facility over a period of 4 months with fever and headache that progressed …

We developed a metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) test using cell-free DNA
from body fluids to identify pathogens. The performance of mNGS testing of 182 body fluids …

Background Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (NGS) of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
has the potential to identify a broad range of pathogens in a single test. Methods In a 1-year, …

We report unbiased metagenomic detection of chikungunya virus (CHIKV), Ebola virus (EBOV),
and hepatitis C virus (HCV) from four human blood samples by MinION nanopore …

Auxin regulates various aspects of plant growth and development. The AUXIN/INDOLE-3-ACETIC
ACID (Aux/IAA) genes encode short-lived transcriptional repressors that are targeted …

Background Enterovirus D68 was implicated in a widespread outbreak of severe respiratory
illness across the USA in 2014 and has also been reported sporadically in patients with …

We evaluated the performance of the MinION DNA sequencer in-flight on the International
Space Station (ISS), and benchmarked its performance off-Earth against the MinION, Illumina …
