TL;DR: Comparative analysis of all the five genomes showed that, each species and/or cultivars has a specific profile of CRE content in promoters of orthologous genes, which could facilitate creation of new crops with improved growth and yield in divergent conditions.

TL;DR: It is shown that exposure of artificial human skin tissue to intense, picosecond-duration THz pulses affects expression levels of numerous genes associated with non-melanoma skin cancers, psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.

TL;DR: It is suggested that miR168 and braAGO1 are involved in the stress-induced transgenerational inheritance in plants, and the existence of heat-inducible and transgenerationally transmitted tRNA-derived small RNA fragments in plants is uncovered.

TL;DR: It is shown that senescence of human lung fibroblast WI-38 cells is associated with extensive changes to the gene expression profile, including the differential expression of transcriptional and epigenetic regulators, and SUV39H1 was downregulated in senescent cells, correlated with a decrease in global H3K9 trimethylation and increased transcription of repetitive DNA sequences.

TL;DR: The study suggests that both senescence and apoptosis may be involved in altered organ function, and changes were accompanied by the altered composition of resident T cell populations in the thymus and spleen of 1, 4, and 18-month-old Long Evans rats.
