    Defective chromatin architectures in embryonic stem cells derived from somatic cell nuclear transfer impair their differentiation potentials

    Nuclear transfer embryonic stem cells (ntESCs) hold enormous promise for individual-specific regenerative medicine. However, the chromatin states of ntESCs remain poorly characterized. In this study, we employ...

    EVR: reconstruction of bacterial chromosome 3D structure models using error-vector resultant algorithm

    More and more 3C/Hi-C experiments on prokaryotes have been published. However, most of the published modeling tools for chromosome 3D structures are targeting at eukaryotes. How to transform prokaryotic experi...

    Genomic analyses of primitive, wild and cultivated citrus provide insights into asexual reproduction

    Qiang Xu and colleagues sequence four citrus species de novo, along with 100 accessions, including primitive, wild and cultivated citrus. Their genomic analyses associate the CitRWP gene with polyembryony and sug...

    A novel proposal of a simplified bacterial gene set and the neo-construction of a general minimized metabolic network

    A minimal gene set (MGS) is critical for the assembly of a minimal artificial cell. We have developed a proposal of simplifying bacterial gene set to approximate a bacterial MGS by the following procedure. Fir...

    Distribution patterns of small-molecule ligands in the protein universe and implications for origin of life and drug discovery

    Extant life depends greatly on the binding of small molecules (such as ligands) with macromolecules (such as proteins), and one ligand can bind multiple proteins. However, little is known about the global patt...
