Many bacteria can exchange genetic material through horizontal gene transfer (HGT) mediated by plasmids and plasmid-borne transposable elements. Here, we study the population structure and dynamics of over 10,000 bacterial plasmids, by quantifying their
NanoSIMS (nanometre‐scale secondary ion mass spectrometry) was used in that study to obtain microscale spatial images and monitor the changes in the structure and distribution of target organic materials, such as tissue walls. We must verify correlations between environmental conditions of study ...
Mature leaves were cut to 0.5 cm2with the middle of the leaves as samples, fixed with formaldehyde-acetic acid–ethanol (FAA) solution, dehydrated and dried with gradient of ethanol solutions, embedded in paraffin, and sectioned at a thickness of 12 μm [25]. Images were taken with an Ol...
3C). Trees do not grow perfectly round and excessive debarking would be required to address the natural variations in the shape of the tree stem, which could damage the underlying wood and reduce the yield. Debarking is only intended to remove most of the bark; any remaining bark is ...
To investigate whether the methylated sequential patterns across different species are conserved or not, we firstly constructed the evolutionary tree for different species in the same methylation type using Lifemap [26]. As for 4mC methylation, Fig.2A illustrates the evolutionary relationship of four ...
BIOCAT provides a user-friendly, portable platform for pattern recognition based biological image classification of two- and three- dimensional images and ROIs. We show, via diverse case studies, that different algorithms and their combinations have different suitability for various problems. The customiz...
Biological rhythms are a fundamental property of life. The deep ocean covers 66% of our planet surface and is one of the largest biomes. The deep sea has long been considered as an arrhythmic environment because sunlight is totally absent below 1,000 m depth. In the present study, we ...
Agriculture and forestry cover more than 75% of Europe, and invertebrate pests are a costly challenge for these two economic sectors. Landscape management is increasingly promoted as a solution to enhance biological pest control, but little is known on i
