Atypical DNA methylation, sRNA-size distribution, and female gametogenesis in Utricularia gibba by Cervantes-Pérez, Sergio Alan, Yong-Villalobos, Lenin, Florez-Zapata, Nathalia M. V., Oropeza-Aburto, Araceli, Rico-Reséndiz, Félix, Amasende-Morales, Itzel, Lan, Tianying, Martínez, Octavio, Vielle-Calzada, Jean Philippe, Albert, Victor A., Herrera-Estrella, Luis

“…DNA methylation was determined using a novel strategy based on long-read DNA sequencing with the Pacific Bioscience platform and confirmed by whole-genome bisulfite sequencing. Moreover, some key genes involved in the RdDM pathway may not represented by compensatory paralogs or comprise truncated proteins, for example, U. gibba DICER-LIKE 3 (DCL3), encoding a DICER endonuclease that produces 24-nt small-interfering RNAs, has lost key domains required for complete function. …”

Analysis and design of audio class D amplifiers by Guo, Linfei

“…From our analysis, we observe the interesting phenomenon of the presence of even-order IMD that is usually negligible/unreported in CDAs (and in linear amplifiers); as expected, odd-order IMD is also present. We show that in some practical scenarios, the even-order IMD can be unexpectedly dominant over the odd-order IMD. …”

Investigating the role of astrocytes in Parkinson's disease pathogenesis in GBA- N370S iPSC-derived neural cultures by Ibarra Aizpurua, N

“…Pre-treatment of iASTROs with TNFα+IFNγ before the co-cultures did not affect their neurosupportive capacity, whereas some of the data suggests that when treating and maintaining the co-cultures with cytokines, control and <em>GBA-N370S</em> iASTROs became neurotoxic and/or lost neurosupportive functions. …”
