Factors associated with disapproval of female genital mutilation among schoolgirls in the Borena and Jimma zones of Ethiopia by Henok Mulatu Teferi, Gizachew Balew Jembere, Siyoum Enqubahiri, Teferi Kebede Nurgi, Amina Kanpise Arero, Biruk Bogale Wolde, Wondimu Chifra Tolera, Addisalem Titiyos, Pontea Afzalirad, Kathryn A O’ Connell, Danielle Garfinkel

“…Individuals from Borena [AOR = 1.76;95% CI: 1.03,2.98] and Christian religion followers compared to Muslims [AOR = 2.12; 95% CI: 1.07, 4.20] had higher odds of expressing attitudes against FGM/C. Those participants who agree to the statement ‘a woman or man can suggest using a condom’ [AOR = 2.79; 95% CI:1.73, 4.52] and ‘it is okay for a woman to say no to sexual intercourse’ [AOR = 2.46; 95% CI:1.31, 4.61] were also significantly more likely to oppose FGM/C. …”

Behavioral phenotyping of Kaiso-deficient mice by V. S. Korostina, A. V. Kulikov

“…Kaiso is a methyl DNA-binding protein, which participates in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression. It binds methylated DNA with its zinc-finger domain and recruits repressive protein complexes to the methylated DNA fragments by the interaction of the BTB/POZ domain with the complex of NCoR corepressor and histone deacetylase, thereby performing transcription repression. …”

Feasibility of Metatranscriptome Analysis from Infant Gut Microbiota: Adaptation to Solid Foods Results in Increased Activity of Firmicutes at Six Months by Floor Hugenholtz, Jarmo Ritari, Lotta Nylund, Mark Davids, Reetta Satokari, Willem M. de Vos

“…Moreover, Firmicutes and Actinobacteria, including the canonical Bifidobacteria as well as Collinsella, were found to be important contributors to carbohydrate fermentation and vitamin biosynthesis in the infant intestine. Finally, the expression of Lactobacillus rhamnosus-like genes was detected, likely following transfer from the mother who consumed L. rhamnosus GG. …”

Characterization of Chromatin Structure-associated Histone Modifications in Breast Cancer Cells by Chang Pyo Hong, Moon Kyung Choe, Tae-Young Roh

“…The H3K9/16ac-enriched genes that overlapped with FAIRE signals (FAIRE-H3K9/14ac) were moderately correlated with gene expression levels. We also identified functional sequence motifs at H3K4me1-enriched FAIRE sites upstream of putative promoters, suggesting that regulatory elements could be associated with H3K4me1 to be regarded as distal regulatory elements. …”
