Mark loss can strongly bias estimates of demographic rates in multi-state models: a case study with simulated and empirical datasets by Touzalin, Frédéric, Petit, Eric J., Cam, Emmanuelle, Stagier, Claire, Teeling, Emma C., Puechmaille, Sébastien J.

“…The use of surgical glue to close the injection hole reduces tag loss rate from 28% to 19% in juveniles, while it has no effect on the tag loss rate in adults (~10%). The main bias observed in our metapopulation system appears in the survival rate, with up to a 20% underestimation if tag loss is not accounted for. …”

m6A demethylase CpALKBH regulates CpZap1 mRNA stability to modulate the development and virulence of chestnut blight fungus by Lijiu Zhao, Xiangyu Wei, Fengyue Chen, Baoshan Chen, Ru Li

“…CpZap1 significantly influences the fungal phenotype and virulence, thereby restoring the abnormal phenotype observed in ∆CpALKBH mutants. Collectively, our findings highlight the essential role of CpALKBH as an m6A demethylase in the development and virulence of C. parasitica, while also elucidating the molecular mechanisms through which m6A modification impacts CpZap1 mRNA stability.IMPORTANCEN6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant eukaryotic mRNA modification and is involved in various biological processes. …”
