Loss of DNA Demethylase Enhances Arsenic Resistance Via Reducing of PIN2 Antisense Long Noncoding RNA

Yang Wang, Xinyan Zhou, Zhengjie Jiang, Zijun Xia, Zishan Huang, Litao Wang, Qi Mi, Yuxin Hou, Yibo Wang, Keqin Miao, Yi'an Chen, Hanchen Ye, Jingyuan Zhang, Haoyuan Gu, Luning Zeng, , Joohyun Lee

This study shows that loss of the DNA demethylase ROS1 enhances arsenic resistance in Arabidopsis by increasing PIN2 expression through suppression of an antisense lncRNA.

Spatiotemporal dynamic models of Amblyomma americanum questing activity in the Central Great Plains

Marlon E. Cobos, Taylor Winters, Ismari Martinez, Yuan Yao, Xiangming Xiao, Anuradha Ghosh, Kellee Sundstrom, Kathryn Duncan, Robert E. Brennan, Susan E. Little, A. Townsend Peterson

This study models the spatiotemporal dynamics of Amblyomma americanum questing activity using longitudinal sampling, randomization tests, and presence-absence modeling to improve understanding of tick-borne disease risk.
