Summary: Motivation: An important step of "metagenomics" analysis is the assembly of multiple genomes from mixed sequence reads of multiple species in a microbial community. Most conventional pipelines employ a single-genome assembler with carefully optimized parameters and post-process the resulting scaffolds to correct assembly errors. Limitations of the use of a single-genome assembler for de novo metagenome assembly are that highly conserved sequences shared between different species often causes chimera contigs, and sequences of highly abundant species are likely mis-identified as repeats in a single genome.Methods:We modified and extended a single-genome and de Bruijn-graph based assembler, Velvet, for de novo metagenome assembly. Our fundamental ideas are first decomposing de Bruijn graph constructed from mixed short reads into individual sub-graphs and second building scaffolds based on every decomposed de Bruijn sub-graph as isolate species genome.

Summary: Potato tubers (250 g) were washed with distilled water and smashed in 500 mL of a mixture containing 50% alcohol and 1.6% citric acid. The resulting mixture was filtrated twice and centrifuged at 4000 rpm. The supernatant was transferred into a column filled with the pretreated macroporous resin AB-8 for 6 h, and the pigments absorbed in AB-8 were eluted with 95% alcohol. The eluate was concentrated with rotary evaporator at 30 °C and dried in vacuo for 12 h. Two biological replicates were used in this study.

Summary: C. elegans is maintained in the laboratory on Nematode Growth Medium (NGM) agar which has been aseptically poured into petri plates. Smaller plates (35 mm diameter) are useful for mating or when using expensive drugs. Medium size plates (60 mm diameter) are useful for general strain maintenance, and larger plates (100 mm diameter) are useful for growing larger quantities of worms, such as for certain mutant screens. The NGM agar medium can be poured into petri plates easily and aseptically using a peristaltic pump. This pump can be adjusted so that a constant amount of NGM agar is dispensed into each petri plate. A constant amount of agar in the plates reduces the need for refocusing the microscope when you switch from one plate to another. Reference: http://www.wormbook.org/

Summary: The use of genetically encoded ‘self-labeling tags’ with chemical fluorophore ligands enables rapid labeling of specific cells in neural tissue. To improve the chemical tagging of neurons, we synthesized and evaluated new fluorophore ligands based on Cy, Janelia Fluor, Alexa Fluor, and ATTO dyes and tested these with recently improved Drosophila melanogaster transgenes. We found that tissue clearing and mounting in DPX substantially improves signal quality when combined with specific non-cyanine fluorophores. We compared and combined this labeling technique with standard immunohistochemistry in the Drosophila brain.

Summary: This work aims for modeling and simulating the metastasis of cancer, via the analogy between the cancer process and the board game Go. In the game of Go, black stones that play first could correspond to a metaphor of the birth, growth, and metastasis of cancer. Moreover, playing white stones on the second turn could correspond the inhibition of cancer invasion. Mathematical modeling and algorithmic simulation of Go may, therefore, benefit the efforts to deploy therapies to surpass cancer illness by providing insight into the cellular growth and expansion over a tissue area. We use the Ising Hamiltonian, that models the energy exchange in interacting particles, for modeling the cancer dynamics. Parameters in the energy function refer the biochemical elements that induce cancer birth, growth, and metastasis; as well as the biochemical immune system process of defense.

Summary: Dichelobacter nodosus is a gram-negative fastidious anaerobic bacterium and the causative agent of ovine footrot. The disease has a global presence and is endemic in many countries. Clinical symptoms range from mild interdigital dermatitis in benign footrot to severe underrunning and separation of the hoof horn from the underlying tissue in virulent footrot. Clinical symptoms start as early as 2 weeks after first contact and the disease leads to pain, lameness, decreased meat and wool production as well as animal welfare issues. Diagnosis has improved significantly by the development of a real-time PCR to detect and discriminate virulent (aprV2-positive) and benign (aprB2-positive) D. nodosus strains. However, the real-time PCR also detects dead cells making its use for testing e.g. disinfecting agents limited. A PMA (propidium monoazid) real-time PCR using the improved dye PMAxx™ was therefore developed for virulent D. nodosus that allows discrimination of viable and dead bacteria. The distinction between viable and non-viable cells is possible, based on membrane integrity. For that purpose, the samples containing D. nodosus are treated with the improved nucleic acid intercalating PMA dye PMAxx™ that selectively enters cells with compromised cell membranes, whereas the intact cell membrane presents a natural barrier for this molecule. After exposure to strong light, it covalently binds to the DNA, preventing DNA from being amplified by PCR, thereby enabling differentiation of viable from non-viable cells. The PMA-qPCR proved to be a valid method for comparison of antimicrobial efficiency in ex vivo experiments.
