Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition)

Daniel J. Klionsky, +2522 more
- 21 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic insights into the Ixodes scapularis tick vector of Lyme disease

Monika Gulia-Nuss, +124 more
- 09 Feb 2016 - 
TL;DR: Insights from genome analyses into parasitic processes unique to ticks, including host ‘questing', prolonged feeding, cuticle synthesis, blood meal concentration, novel methods of haemoglobin digestion, haem detoxification, vitellogenesis and prolonged off-host survival are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tick-Pathogen Interactions and Vector Competence: Identification of Molecular Drivers for Tick-Borne Diseases

José de la Fuente, +30 more
- 07 Apr 2017 - 
TL;DR: This review provides a comprehensive overview of tick-pathogen molecular interactions for bacteria, viruses, and protozoa affecting human and animal health and suggests some of the similar mechanisms used by the pathogens for infection and transmission by ticks may assist in development of preventative strategies against multiple tick-borne diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Properties of Average Score Distributions of SEQUEST The Probability Ratio Method

Salvador Martínez-Bartolomé, +7 more
- 01 Jun 2008 - 
TL;DR: The probability ratio is a non-parametric and robust indicator that makes spectra classification according to parameters such as charge state unnecessary and allows a peptide identification performance, on the basis of false discovery rates, that is better than that obtained by other empirical statistical approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and characterization of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus candidate protective antigens for the control of cattle tick infestations.

Consuelo Almazán, +8 more
- 01 Jan 2010 - 
TL;DR: Analysis of R. microplus glutathione-S transferase, ubiquitin (UBQ), selenoprotein W, elongation factor-1 alpha, and subolesin (SUB) complementary DNAs by RNA interference showed that RNAi could be used for the selection of candidate tick-protective antigens.
