TL;DR: The existence of human melanoma cells that fulfill the criteria for CSCs (self‐renewal and differentiation) by serially xenotransplanting cells into nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficiency (NOD/SCID) mice is demonstrated and it is implicate that ALDH isozymes are not only biomarkers of C SCs but also attractive therapeutic targets forhuman melanoma.

TL;DR: This work identified and characterized known and novel small RNA classes through gametogenesis and embryo development in the parasitic nematode Ascaris suum and compared them with known small RNAs of Caenorhabditis elegans, suggesting great diversification and plasticity in the use of small RNA pathways during spermatogenesis in different nematodes.

TL;DR: The genome sequence of Shewanella piezotolerans WP3, a pieZotolerant and psychrotolerant iron reducing bacterium from deep-sea sediment was determined with related functional analysis to study its environmental adaptation mechanisms.

TL;DR: Analysis of T5 early promoters suggests a probable motif AAA{3, 4 T}nTTGCTT{17, 18 n}TATAATA{12, 13 W}{10 R} for strong promoters that may strengthen the step modification of host RNA polymerase, and thus control transcription of phage DNA.

TL;DR: Recent studies provide compelling evidence that DNA elimination is a novel form of gene silencing, dosage compensation, and sex determination and further identification of the eliminated sequences, genome changes, and in depth characterization of this phenomenon in diverse metazoans are needed.
