One Bacterial Cell, One Complete Genome

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the completed genome from an uncultured single cell of Candidatus Sulcia muelleri DMIN, which is a polyploid species with genome copies ranging from approximately 200-900 per cell.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dual RNA-Sequencing to Elucidate the Plant-Pathogen Duel.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the design of dual RNA-seq experiments and the application of downstream data analysis to gain biological insight into both sides of the interaction and a reduction in sequencing cost and single cell transcriptomics coupled with protein and metabolite level dual approaches are set to enhance understanding of plant-pathogen interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laser microdissection: A powerful tool for genomics at cell level.

TL;DR: How the latest developments in protocols and methods have made LM a powerful and sometimes essential tool for genomic and proteomic analyzes of tiny amounts of biomolecules extracted from few cells isolated from a complex tissue, in their physiological context, thus offering new opportunities for understanding fundamental physiological and/or patho-physiological processes is seen.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laser capture microdissection to study Bacillus cereus iron homeostasis gene expression during Galleria mellonella in vivo gut colonization.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used laser-capture microdissection (LCM) to select precise areas in the gut lumen from frozen whole larval cryo-sections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microbiome analysis from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues: Current challenges and future perspectives.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors summarize all aspects of microbiome studies from FFPE tissues including the challenges associated with working highly degraded DNA, best practices for reducing environmental contamination, and propose solutions to address these issues.

Laser Microdissection Unravels Cell-Type-Specific Transcription in Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Roots, Including CAAT-Box Transcription Factor Gene Expression Correlating with Fungal Contact and Spread

TL;DR: To unravel gene expression in defined stages of Medicago truncatula root colonization by AM fungi, genome-wide transcriptome profiling based on whole mycorrhizal roots with real-time reverse transcription-PCR experiments that relied on characteristic cell types obtained via laser microdissection were combined.
Journal Article

Laser micromanipulation systems as universal tools in cellular and molecular biology and in medicine.

TL;DR: Wherever homogeneous samples are required to analyze cell or chromosome-specific genetic alterations such as in cancer research or prenatal diagnosis this unique and rapid laser micropreparation method will become a key technology of great value.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct analysis of laser capture microdissected cells by MALDI mass spectrometry.

TL;DR: Methodology for the preparation and analysis of LCM captured cells with MALDI MS, giving high sensitivity and mass resolution, and mass spectra presented that show protein patterns from mouse liver and mouse colon crypts provide a new methodology for protein discovery involving LCM capture cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Localized Gene Expression in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilms

TL;DR: The use of laser capture microdissection microscopy (LCMM) combined with multiplex quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase PCR (qRT-PCR) to isolate and quantify RNA transcripts from small groups of cells at spatially resolved sites within biofilms demonstrates that mRNA levels for individual genes are not uniformly distributed throughoutBiofilms but may vary by orders of magnitude over small distances.
