Exception to the Rule: Genomic Characterization of Naturally Occurring Unusual Vibrio cholerae Strains with a Single Chromosome by Gary Xie, Shannon L. Johnson, Karen W. Davenport, Mathumathi Rajavel, Torsten Waldminghaus, John C. Detter, Patrick S. Chain, Shanmuga Sozhamannan

“…Here, we describe the genomic characterization of strains that are an exception to the two chromosome rules: naturally occurring single-chromosome V. cholerae. Whole genome sequence analyses of NSCV1 and NSCV2 (natural single-chromosome vibrio) revealed that the Chr1 and Chr2 fusion junctions contain prophages, IS elements, and direct repeats, in addition to large-scale chromosomal rearrangements such as inversions, insertions, and long tandem repeats elsewhere in the chromosome compared to prototypical two chromosome V. cholerae genomes. …”

Microarrays as Model Biosensor Platforms to Investigate the Structure and Affinity of Aptamers by Jennifer A. Martin, Yaroslav Chushak, Jorge L. Chávez, Joshua A. Hagen, Nancy Kelley-Loughnane

“…We also showed that the affinities of the aptamer/target interaction can change between direct and indirect labeling and conditions to optimize for the highest fluorescence intensity will increase the sensitivity of the assay but will not change the overall affinity. Additionally, some sequences which did not initially bind demonstrated binding when conditions were optimized. …”
