Dormant but Active: Chilling Accumulation Modulates the Epigenome and Transcriptome ofPrunus aviumDuring Bud Dormancy
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-07)Temperate deciduous fruit tree species like sweet cherry (Prunus avium) require long periods of low temperatures to trigger dormancy release and flowering. In addition to sequence-based genetic diversity, epigenetic variation ... -
Deciphering the functional diversity of DNA-binding transcription factors in Bacteria and Archaea organisms
(Public Library of Science, 2020-08)DNA-binding Transcription Factors (TFs) play a central role in regulation of gene expression in prokaryotic organisms, and similarities at the sequence level have been reported. These proteins are predicted with different ... -
Bacterially produced metabolites protect C. elegans neurons from degeneration
(Public Library of Science, 2020-03)Caenorhabditis elegans and its cognate bacterial diet comprise a reliable, widespread model to study diet and microbiota effects on host physiology. Nonetheless, how diet influences the rate at which neurons die remains ... -
The Microbial Composition in Circumneutral Thermal Springs from Chignahuapan, Puebla, Mexico Reveals the Presence of Particular Sulfur-Oxidizing Bacterial and Viral Communities
(MDPI AG, 2020-11)Terrestrial thermal springs are widely distributed globally, and these springs harbor a broad diversity of organisms of biotechnological interest. In Mexico, few studies exploring this kind of environment have been described. ... -

Cátedras del Futuro: C. elegans: ¿cómo un gusano nos puede ayudar a comprender mejor enfermedades como el Parkinson y el Alzheimer?
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2019-09-05)En una nueva fecha del ciclo de charlas “Cátedras del Futuro”, la Dra. Andrea Calixto, académica del Centro de Genómica y Bioinformática U. Mayor, que presentó los resultados de las investigaciones que durante 4 años ha ... -
Transcriptomic analysis at organ and time scale reveals gene regulatory networks controlling the sulfate starvation response ofSolanum lycopersicum
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)Background Sulfur is a major component of biological molecules and thus an essential element for plants. Deficiency of sulfate, the main source of sulfur in soils, negatively influences plant growth and crop yield. The ... -
Understanding gold toxicity in aerobically-grown Escherichia coli
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)Background There is an emerging field to put into practice new strategies for developing molecules with antimicrobial properties. In this line, several metals and metalloids are currently being used for these purposes, ... -
A dynamic portal for a community-driven, continuously updated classification of Fungi and fungus-like organisms: outlineoffungi.org
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)The website http://outlineoffungi.org, is launched to provide a continuous up-to-date classification of the kingdom Fungi (including fossil fungi) and fungus-like taxa. This is based on recent publications and on the outline ... -
Chloropicophyceae, a new class of picophytoplanktonic prasinophytes
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2016)Prasinophytes are a paraphyletic group of nine lineages of green microalgae that are currently classified either at the class or order level or as clades without formal taxonomic description. Prasinophyte clade VII comprises ... -
