    Abstract The intergenic regions in bacterial genomes can contain regulatory leader sequences and small RNAs (sRNAs), which both serve to modulate gene expression. Computational analyses have predicted the presence of hundreds of these noncoding regulatory RNAs in Escherichia coli; however, only about 80 have been experimentally validated. By applying a deep-sequencing approach, we detected and quantified the vast majority of the previously validated regulatory elements and identified 10 new sRNAs and nine new regulatory leader sequences in the intergenic regions of E. coli. Half of the newly discovered sRNAs displayed enhanced stability in the presence of the RNA-binding protein Hfq, which is vital to the function of many of the known E. coli sRNAs. Whereas previous methods have often relied on phylogenetic conservation to identify regulatory leader sequences, only five of the newly discovered E. coli leader sequences were present in the genomes of other enteric species. For those newly identified regulatory elements having orthologs in Salmonella, evolutionary analyses showed that these regions encoded new noncoding elements rather than small, unannotated protein-coding transcripts. In addition to discovering new noncoding regulatory elements, we validated 53 sRNAs that were previously predicted but never detected and showed that the presence, within intergenic regions, of σ(70) promoters and sequences with compensatory mutations that maintain stable RNA secondary structures across related species is a good predictor of novel sRNAs.

    Abstract The mammalian gut microbiota is a critical human health determinant with therapeutic potential for remediation of many diseases. The host diet is a key factor governing the gut microbiota composition by altering nutrient availability and supporting the expansion of distinct microbial populations. Diets rich in simple sugars modify the abundance of microbial subsets, enriching for microbiotas that elicit pathogenic outcomes. We previously demonstrated that diets rich in fructose and glucose can reduce the fitness and abundance of a human gut symbiont,

    Abstract Introduction: Researchers, clinicians and patients are turning to new innovations in research and clinical practice to further their knowledge in the genetic domain and improve diagnostics or treatment. However, with increased knowledge in genetics, societal issues may arise. Being conscious of these issues is crucial in order to implement standardized and efficient testing on a wider scale that is accessible to a greater number of individuals while simultaneously returning test results, including incidental findings, in a timely manner.
    Methods: Within the framework of a genomics research project, we invited 20 participants who suffer from refractory epilepsy to provide insight on their personal experiences with epilepsy, as well as their thoughts on receiving Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) results and with whom they would feel comfortable sharing these results with.
    Results: All participants had their own unique experience with epilepsy, such as how they handled their diagnosis, their struggles following the diagnosis, the healthcare services they received, how they shared their diagnosis with others, and how they managed stigmatization from others. Most participants would be eager to know their WGS results, whether the results be related to epilepsy (n = 19), response to pharmaceutical drugs including AEDs (n = 16), comorbidities (n = 19) and incidental findings (n = 15).
    Conclusion: Our findings reinforce the need to improve access to genetic testing for epilepsy patients in clinical settings. Furthermore, while acquiring more genetic knowledge (i.e. WGS) about epilepsy can provide answers for the affected population, it also requires the simultaneous involvement of several medical disciplines, with greater emphasis on genetic and psychological counseling.

    Abstract DNA supercoiling is essential for all living cells because it controls all processes involving DNA. In bacteria, global DNA supercoiling results from the opposing activities of topoisomerase I, which relaxes DNA, and DNA gyrase, which compacts DNA. These enzymes are widely conserved, sharing >91% amino acid identity between the closely related species Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. Why, then, do E. coli and Salmonella exhibit different DNA supercoiling when experiencing the same conditions? We now report that this surprising difference reflects disparate activation of their DNA gyrases by the polyamine spermidine and its precursor putrescine. In vitro, Salmonella DNA gyrase activity was sensitive to changes in putrescine concentration within the physiological range, whereas activity of the E. coli enzyme was not. In vivo, putrescine activated the Salmonella DNA gyrase and spermidine the E. coli enzyme. High extracellular Mg2+ decreased DNA supercoiling exclusively in Salmonella by reducing the putrescine concentration. Our results establish the basis for the differences in global DNA supercoiling between E. coli and Salmonella, define a signal transduction pathway regulating DNA supercoiling, and identify potential targets for antibacterial agents.

    Abstract Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a multifactorial disease of uncertain etiology damaging myelin sheaths around axons of the central nervous system. Myelin protects the axon from potentially harmful exogenous factors. The aetiological role of environmental exposure metals and organophosphates is unclear.
    Objective: Identify whether urinary levels of metals and organophosphates differed in MS patients and controls.
    Methods: We recruited MS patients from Ziv Medical Centre and healthy controls. MS patients were evaluated according to Expanded Disability Status Scale into mild and moderate-severe conditions. Each participant provided a urine sample and completed epidemiological questionnaires. The levels of six metal (Aluminum, Cadmium, Chromium, Lead, Mercury, Nickel) and one metalloid (Arsenic) and common organophosphates pesticide metabolites (6 dialkylphosphates, DAP) were measured in urine using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry and gas-chromatography mass-spectrometry. We compared cases with controls in terms of urinary levels of these compounds using Mann-Whitney and Kruskall-Wallis tests.
    Results: Urinary cadmium and mercury levels were higher in the 49 MS patients than the 37 controls (p < 0.01). Cadmium levels were higher in moderate-severe MS patients (n = 24) than mild MS patients (n = 25) (p = 0.003).
    Conclusion: Urinary cadmium and mercury levels were higher among MS patients than controls. Cadmium levels correlated with disease severity. Further studies are needed to explore potential causal pathways between these compounds and MS pathogenesis.

    Abstract Livestock production is the largest anthropogenic methane (CH _4 ) source globally over the decades. Enteric fermentation of ruminants is responsible for the majority of global livestock CH _4 emissions. Both inventory-based models (IvtMs) and process-based models (PcMs) are extensively used to assess the livestock CH _4 emission dynamics. However, the model performance and the associated uncertainty have not been well quantified and understood, which greatly hamper our credibility of the regional and global CH _4 emission predictions. In this study, we compared the CH _4 emissions of livestock enteric fermentation (CH _4,ef ) predicted by multiple IvtMs and PcMs across Inner Mongolia, a region dominated by typical temperate grasslands that are widely used for animal husbandry. Twenty predictions from five IvtMs, and ten predations from five PcMs were explicitly calculated and compared for the reference year of 2006. The CH _4,ef predicted from PcMs is lower than IvtMs and the variation between PcMs is substantially higher, i.e. 0.34 ± 0.36 g CH _4 /m ^2 yr and 0.78 ± 0.14 g CH _4 /m ^2 yr for PcMs and IvtMs, respectively. Different model strategies undertaken, i.e. the demand-oriented strategy for IvtMs and the resource-demand co-determined one for PcMs, cause the different predictions of CH _4,ef between the two model groups. Using the results from IvtMs as the baseline scalar, we identified and benchmarked the performance of individual PcMs in the study region. The quantitative information provided can facilitate the understanding of key principles and processes of CH _4,ef estimations, which will contribute to the future model development of global CH _4 emission.
