Crowdfunding the Azolla fern genome project: a grassroots approach.
(Gigascience, 2014)Much of science progresses within the tight boundaries of what is often seen as a "black box". Though familiar to funding agencies, researchers and the academic journals they publish in, it is an entity that outsiders rarely ... -
Fern genomes elucidate land plant evolution and cyanobacterial symbioses.
(Nature plants, 2018-07-02)Ferns are the closest sister group to all seed plants, yet little is known about their genomes other than that they are generally colossal. Here, we report on the genomes of Azolla filiculoides and Salvinia cucullata ... -
IGHV1-69 B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia antibodies cross-react with HIV-1 and hepatitis C virus antigens as well as intestinal commensal bacteria.
(PLoS One, 2014)B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) patients expressing unmutated immunoglobulin heavy variable regions (IGHVs) use the IGHV1-69 B cell receptor (BCR) in 25% of cases. Since HIV-1 envelope gp41 antibodies also frequently ... -
On Science and Communication: Exploring the Azolla-Nostoc Symbiosis and Connecting Science With Society
(2019)Science has an inspiring capacity to change the world around us as it informs of the details governing life. From feats of engineering to medical breakthroughs, it has rapidly changed the way we live. Though it is woven ... -
The Molecular Biology of Lichen Symbiosis and Development
(2009)Lichen-forming fungi employ a successful mode of nutrition as symbiotic partners with green algae and/or cyanobacteria (the photobiont). Nearly one fifth of all known fungi are obligate lichen formers, yet we know little ... -
Unprecedented loss of ammonia assimilation capability in a urease-encoding bacterial mutualist.
(BMC Genomics, 2010-12-02)BACKGROUND: Blochmannia are obligately intracellular bacterial mutualists of ants of the tribe Camponotini. Blochmannia perform key nutritional functions for the host, including synthesis of several essential amino acids. ...
