Planetary EcologistHELP assay (Microbiology 🦠)For the purpose of DNA replication, the HpaII tiny fragment Enrichment by Ligation-mediated PCR Assay is one of several techniques used for determining whether DNA has been methylated. The technique can be adapted to examine DNA methylation within and around individual genes, or it can be expanded to examine methylation in an entire genome. The technique relies upon the properties of two restrict...<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HELP_assay" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HELP_assay</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HelpAssay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HelpAssay</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Microbiology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Microbiology</a>

Frank AylwardWe found a really cool giant virus inside the genome of a green alga, and it has a very strange infection cycle that is hard to detect. There are reports going back decades of viral particles spontaneously appearing in pure cultures of green algae, so this phenomenon seems quite common but mostly overlooked. <a href="https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ads6303" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ads6303</a><a href="https://genomic.social/tags/viruses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#viruses</a> <a href="https://genomic.social/tags/microbiology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#microbiology</a> <a href="https://genomic.social/tags/algae" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#algae</a>

Small Things ConsideredCultivating the Ancestors… (1|4)by Christoph — ...is a metaphysical affair across all human cultures. For experimental biologists, it is the more prosaic, physical task of cultivating extant prokaryotic relatives of the ancestors of the eukaryotes in the lab. Or the 'most likely' ancestors of the eukaryotes, to be cautious when leaping back ~2 billion years in time. Now, meet P. syntrophicum MK-D1, and its syntrophic companions.Read more > <a href="https://schaechter.asmblog.org/schaechter/2025/04/cultivating-the-ancestors-14.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://schaechter.asmblog.org/schaechter/2025/04/cultivating-the-ancestors-14.html</a> <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/microbiology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#microbiology</a>
