Using animations to teach biological processes and principles Open
Well-designed animations can help students to focus on the underlying principles and processes in biology rather than relying on rote memorization. We present question-driven, terminology-free, "candymation" videos for teaching the concept…

A competence-regulated toxin-antitoxin system in Haemophilus influenzae Open
Natural competence allows bacteria to respond to environmental and nutritional cues by taking up free DNA from their surroundings, thus gaining both nutrients and genetic information. In the Gram-negative bacterium Haemophilus influenzae, …

Genome-wide analysis of DNA uptake across the outer membrane of naturally competent<i>Haemophilus influenzae</i> Open
SUMMARY The genomes of naturally competent Pasteurellaceae and Neisseriaceae have many short uptake sequences (USS), which allow them to distinguish self-DNA from foreign DNA. To fully characterize this preference we developed genome-wide …

Evolution of Bacterial Gene Transfer Agents Open
Bacterial gene transfer agents (GTAs) are small virus-like particles that package DNA fragments and inject them into cells. They are encoded by gene clusters resembling defective prophages, with genes for capsid head and tail components. T…

Finding reliable phenotypes and detecting artefacts among <i>in vivo</i> and <i>in vitro</i> assays to characterize the refractory transcriptional activator Sxy (TfoX) in <i>Escherichia coli</i> Open
The Sxy (TfoX) protein is required for expression of a distinct subset of the genes regulated by the cAMP receptor protein (CRP) in the model organisms Escherichia coli , Haemophilus influenzae , and Vibrio cholerae . Genetic studies have …

Transformed Recombinant Enrichment Profiling Rapidly Identifies HMW1 as an Intracellular Invasion Locus in Haemophilus influenzae Open
Many bacterial species actively take up and recombine homologous DNA into their genomes, called natural competence, a trait that offers a means to identify the genetic basis of naturally occurring phenotypic variation. Here, we describe "t…

Open for Collaboration : is it time for Canada to implement a unified open strategy for higher education? Open
Embedded within the vision of post-secondary institutions across British Columbia are the values of contributing to knowledge across disciplines and sharing the results of research with the local and global communities. Spurred by the need…
