A novel transcriptional signature identifies T-cell infiltration in high-risk paediatric cancer

The paper develops a 15-gene immune signature to identify T-cell infiltration in high-risk paediatric cancers, finding up to 31% of such cancers have infiltrating T-cells.

Preliminary Characterization of Phage-like Particles from the Male-Killing Mollicute Spiroplasma poulsonii (an Endosymbiont of Drosophila)

The paper isolates and characterizes phage-like particles from Spiroplasma poulsonii, finding they contain phage-like genes and show homology to related genomes.

Automatic discrimination of species within the Enterobacter cloacae complex using MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry and supervised algorithms

This paper develops machine learning models using MALDI-TOF MS data to accurately differentiate species within the Enterobacter cloacae complex.

Transcriptomic response during wasp parasitism in the Drosophila-Spiroplasma interaction

This study uses RNA-seq to analyze Drosophila's transcriptomic response to Spiroplasma infection and parasitism by different wasp species, finding limited immune-related gene changes and suggesting a potential developmental impact of Spiroplasma.

Rapid molecular evolution of Spiroplasma symbionts of Drosophila

This study examines the rapid molecular evolution of Spiroplasma poulsonii, showing high substitution rates and structural genomic differences between strains.

Wolbachia pipientis associated to tephritid fruit fly pests: from basic research to applications

This paper reviews Wolbachia-tephritid interactions, their prevalence, phenotypic effects, and potential for use in incompatible insect technique for pest management.
