Caenorhabditis elegans contains 25 Argonautes, of which, ALG-1 and ALG-2 are known to
primarily interact with miRNAs. ALG-5 belongs to the AGO subfamily of Argonautes that …

Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are distinct classes of
small RNAs required for proper germline development. To identify the roles of piRNAs and …

Differences in tRNA expression have been implicated in a remarkable number of biological
processes. There is growing evidence that tRNA genes can play dramatically different roles …

The germline contains an immortal cell lineage that ensures the faithful transmission of genetic
and, in some instances, epigenetic information from one generation to the next. Here, we …

Rapid mutation rates are typical of mitochondrial genomes (mtDNAs) in animals, but it is not
clear why. The difficulty of obtaining measurements of mtDNA mutation that are not biased …

Influenza virus infections are associated with a significant number of illnesses and deaths
on an annual basis. Many of the deaths are due to complications from secondary bacterial …

Influenza virus infections can be complicated by bacterial superinfections, which are medically
relevant because of a complex interaction between the host, the virus, and the bacteria. …

piRNAs are known to silence transposable elements, but not all piRNAs match transposon
sequences. Recent studies from Shen et al. (2018) and Zhang et al. (2018) identify rules for …

This article examines ‘disproportionality’. It begins by tabling some suggestions for how greater
‘proportionality’ can be attained and then maintained, particularly in international security …

Background: Topical therapy is first-line treatment for patients with mild-to-moderate psoriasis,
but low adherence to topical drugs is a barrier to treatment success. Health-care system …
