“…Commensurately, HSC and megakaryocyte-erythroid progenitors show higher clonogenicity, with increased megakaryocyte, megakaryocyte-erythroid, and replatable blast colonies. Biased megakaryocyte-erythroid–primed gene expression was detected as early as the HSC compartment. …”

Chromatin structuring factor HMGA2 controls subtelomere stability and cancer chemosensitivity by Syed Moiz Ahmed

“…In addition, studies in yeast found HMGA2 to prevent the formation of a potentially topologically driven, pathological fork structure, thereby preventing fork collapse and hinting at a possible mechanism of fork protection. …”

Use of co-cultivation method to stimulate the production of antimicrobial natural products from mangrove microorganisms by Tan, Jin Wei

“…Cryptic gene clusters from actinomycetes are suspected to harbor potential in producing bioactive products, and in this study, co-cultivation is utilized to stimulate these cryptic gene clusters in novel antibiotics production. 10 actinomycete strains isolated from Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve were co-cultured with Mycobacterium Abscessus and Asperigillus Westerdijikiae in two liquid mediums, Glucose-Yeast extract-Malt extract (GYM) and Minimum Media (MM). …”

On a problem of El-Zahar and Erdős by Nguyen, T, Scott, A, Seymour, P

“…First, a strengthening: we can ask for one of the two subgraphs to have large chromatic number: that is, for all <i>t</i>, <i>c</i> ≥ 1 there exists <i>d</i> ≥ 1 such that if <i>G</i> has chromatic number at least <i>d</i>, and does not contain the complete graph <i>K_t</i> as a subgraph, then there are anticomplete subgraphs <i>A</i>, <i>B</i>, where <i>A</i> has minimum degree at least <i>c</i> and <i>B</i> has chromatic number at least <i>c</i>.…”

A regulatory role for repeated decoy transcription factor binding sites in target gene expression by Lee, Tek‐Hyung, Maheshri, Narendra

“…Using a synthetic system in budding yeast, we demonstrate that repeated decoy sites inhibit gene expression by sequestering a transcriptional activator and converting the graded dose–response of target promoters to a sharper, sigmoidal‐like response. …”

Discovery of stabilized functional mutants of human aquaporin 1 by Soh, Miao Yi

“…A cell-based freeze-thaw functionality assay that was developed by the lab was conducted on yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells transformed with the plasmids to identify the functional mutants, i.e., mutants that express the mutated AQP1 protein that would allow them to exhibit a protective effect in response to rapid freezing. ~ 5% of mutants from a total of 2816 screened from thirty-three 96-well plates were identified after a series of initial and verification screens. …”
