    Abstract: Among the root-knot nematodes three Meloidogyne species namely Meloidogyne incognita, M. javanica, and M. arenaria are emerging as an important pest of many cultivated plants, and recognized as the most economically destructive plant parasitic nematodes species of all over the world. Although other root-knot nematodes may virulent for plant but lim... Show More

    Abstract: “Drying without dying” is an amazing feature in land plant evolution. Boea hygrometrica is an important resurrection plant model. The current genome and transcriptome analysis have revealed that some biological processes may contribute to its dehydration tolerance, but genes play pivotal roles in the dehydration response remains unclear. Bayesian n... Show More

    Abstract: The mechanism of prokaryotic gene expression remains incompletely understood. Promoters are regions in genome that locating upstream to genes and regulate of gene expressions. Despite more and more E. coli K-12 promoter sequences have been obtained experimentally, and some regions such as -10 region and -30 region have been described, the features ... Show More

    Abstract: Oncolytic viruses have become a novel therapeutic tool for various cancer treatments. Several naturally occurring oncolytic viruses and engineered oncolytic viruses are developed for oncolytic virotherapies. Although we have a good understanding on molecular mechanisms of viral replication and virus-induced cell lysis at the cellular level, it is u... Show More
