The emerging" epitranscriptomics" field is providing insights into the biological and
pathological roles of different RNA modifications. The RNA methyltransferase METTL1 …

Codon usage bias (CUB) refers to the phenomena that synonymous codons are used in
different frequencies in most genes and organisms. The general assumption is that codon …

Although the subcellular dynamics of RNA and proteins are key determinants of cell
homeostasis, their characterization is still challenging. Here we present an integrative …

It has recently been shown that in anaerobic microorganisms the tricarboxylic acid (TCA)
cycle, including the seemingly irreversible citrate synthase reaction, can be reversed and …

Maximal growth rate is a basic parameter of microbial lifestyle that varies over several orders
of magnitude, with doubling times ranging from a matter of minutes to multiple days. Growth …

Synonymous single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) do not produce altered coding
sequences, and therefore they are not expected to change the function of the protein in …

Some mutations in gene coding regions exchange one synonymous codon for another, and
thus do not alter the amino acid sequence of the encoded protein. Even though they are …

Theaceae species are dicotyledonous angiosperms with extremely high ornamental and
economic value. The chloroplast genome is traditionally used to study species evolution …
