A novel method for the identification and quantification of N6-methyladenosine motifs in RNA transcripts - Neha Choudhari; H. S. Anirudh Srinivas; Praneeth Sai Tadepalli; Rounak Roy; Souvik Dey (Molecular Biology Reports, 2026)
Background N6-methyladenosine profiles of mRNA transcripts regulate their translocation from the nucleus to the cytosol, stability, and translational efficiency; hence, they have been implicated in gene expression and disease progression. The m 6 A-methylation is widely associated with various cancers and neurological, cardiovascular, and developmental disorders, which demand early diagnosis. A robust m 6 A-motif prediction is necessary to enable us to identify the regulatory nucleic acid sequences that determine mRNA fate in normal and diseased conditions. Methods and Results We have developed a transcript-aware computational pipeline, termed m 6 A Functional Index in Transcription (m 6 A-FINDiT), that can identify potential m 6 A sites on mRNA transcripts, considering molecular intricacies associated with their secondary structure. This tool can separately identify m 6 A motifs within the coding sequences as well as in non-translatable regions, i.e., 5’UTR and 3’UTR, of mRNA transcripts. Parallelly, another technique was developed that quantifies specific m 6 A methylation motifs through a probe-based ELISA process, MAQ-G. This second method successfully validated the N⁶-methyladenosine motifs predicted by the initially developed motif-finder program. Conclusion This integrated m 6 A-FINDiT and MAQ-G, coupled with a real-time qPCR assay, could correlate the methylation profiles of N6-methyladenosine motifs with the expression and stability contours of a gene. To establish the physiological implications of these techniques, we chose three tumour-suppressor genes, viz., IRF8 , RB1 , and TP53 mRNA transcripts, which may undergo m 6 A methylation at certain DRACH motifs. The m 6 A-FINDiT pipeline could successfully predict the specific m 6 A motifs, and the MAQ-G confirmed the methylation profile of the latter. These duo techniques hold potential for use in clinical settings for early cancer detection.

Mitigating ROS signalling pathway-mediated defence mechanism: a novel approach to counteract bacterial resistance using natural antioxidant-based antibiotics - Soham Bhattacharya; Neha Gupta; Adrish Dutta; Maria Grazia Bonomo; Luigi Milella; Satyajit D. Sarker; Lutfun Nahar (Phytochemistry Reviews, 2026)
Antibiotic resistance is a critical global health concern and one of the most serious threats to public health worldwide today. In recent decades, resistant pathogenic bacteria have increased significantly, making infections harder to treat. The intra-bacterial generation of ROS (reactive oxygen species), especially under antibiotic stress, plays a crucial role in modulating gene networks that drive bacterial resistance. The ROS-responsive regulons and cellular machinery activate defence responses that promote resistance. Recent studies emphasize the pivotal role of ROS-mediated signalling in activating alternative pathways that enhance bacterial survival under antibiotic pressure. As central mediators of stress perception and adaptation, ROS accelerate the evolution of resistance. Amid growing toxicity and reduced efficacy of current antibiotics, natural dual-active compounds such as berberine, caffeic acid, cannabidiol, curcumin, eugenol, luteolin, menadione, quercetin, and ursolic acid offer promising solutions to overcome the limitations of conventional antibiotics. These compounds possess both antibacterial and antioxidant properties, and can scavenge ROS while simultaneously inhibiting bacterial growth, providing a novel therapeutic approach that effectively bypasses ROS-mediated defence mechanisms in pathogens and enhances antimicrobial potential. The objective of this review is to explore recent advances in ROS-mediated signalling pathways that contribute to antibiotic resistance and to propose a novel strategy for overcoming this challenge by targeting ROS-driven defence mechanisms with natural antioxidant-based antibacterials. Recent literature has highlighted several promising examples of dual-active antibacterial–antioxidant molecules, offering potential breakthroughs in addressing antibiotic resistance. The dual capacity of these compounds to target pathogens and reduce oxidative stress positions them as promising foundations for next-generation antimicrobial therapies.

Prevalence of haemosporidian parasites in raptors in rehabilitation centers across the United States - Laura A. Kwasnoski; Ishika Sharma; Dominic Carrea; Neha Larson; Michael D. Collins; Vincenzo A. Ellis (Journal of Ornithology, 2026)
Avian haemosporidians are common vector-transmitted parasites that infect birds. Although avian haemosporidians have been studied extensively in songbirds, less is known about haemosporidian prevalence in raptors, particularly in the United States. We used molecular methods to test blood samples collected from raptors at five wildlife rehabilitation centers across the United States for avian haemosporidians. We identified parasites from the genera Haemoproteus , Leucocytozoon , and Plasmodium using a multiplex PCR and determined prevalence by raptor host species and site. Almost half of the raptors tested (47%) were infected with at least one parasite, with Plasmodium detected at the highest frequency (28%) followed by Haemoproteus (21%), and Leucocytozoon (12%). Prevalence of each parasite genus varied among host species. For example, Haemoproteus prevalence was higher in American Kestrels ( Falco sparverius ; 55%), Barred Owls ( Strix varia ; 58.2%), and Great-Horned Owls ( Bubo virginianus ; 43.8%) than in Bald Eagles ( Haliaeetus leucocephalus ; 0%) or Black Vultures ( Coragyps atratus ; 0%) . Prevalence also varied among sites for all three parasite genera. However, we did not detect a species by site interaction effect for prevalence, suggesting that relative rates of parasite infection among raptor species are relatively constant across the region we investigated. This work adds to our understanding of raptor disease ecology at a regional geographic scale. Future analyses will focus on the diversity and distribution of parasite genetic lineages among these host species and sites.

Spatial and Temporal Variability of Extreme Precipitation Events in the Northwestern Himalayan Region: A Comprehensive Analysis of Trends and Extremes - Anurag Satpathi; Abhilash; Sameera Qayoom; Neha Chand; Chinmaya Kumar Sahu; Latief Ahmad; Billel Touati; Ali Salem; Mohamed A. Mattar (International Journal of Climatology, 2026)
Understanding the spatial and temporal dynamics of extreme precipitation is critical for assessing hydroclimatic risks in mountainous regions. This study investigates long‐term trends and variability of extreme precipitation across the northwestern Himalayas, encompassing Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, using high‐resolution CHIRPS data validated against station observations and a suite of ETCCDI (Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices). The results reveal a pronounced hydroclimatic contrast between the two regions. Jammu & Kashmir, particularly the Kashmir Valley and Pir Panjal range, exhibits increasing seasonal and annual precipitation along with a significant rise in rainy days, indicating a shift toward more frequent moderate‐intensity rainfall. In contrast, Ladakh shows predominantly neutral to declining precipitation trends, accompanied by a marked increase in consecutive dry days and a declining contribution of extreme precipitation events, reflecting intensifying aridity. Extreme precipitation indices (Rx1day, Rx5day, R95pTOT, R99pTOT) display largely decreasing or spatially inconsistent trends across the region, suggesting a transition toward a precipitation regime dominated by frequency rather than intensity. These findings highlight growing hydroclimatic divergence, underscoring the need for enhanced flood preparedness in wetter regions and strengthened water conservation strategies in arid high‐altitude areas.

Native Regiella Endosymbionts Provide Strong Parasitoid Protection With Limited Impacts on Fitness and Virus Transmission in Myzus persicae - Qiong Yang; Perran A.

A substantial literature has developed on facultative endosymbionts of insects, often portrayed as having large effects on their hosts, ranging from mutualistic to parasitic. The aphid endosymbiont Regiella insecticola occurs naturally in Myzus persicae and has potential biocontrol applications. Here, we examined the effects of native Regiella in two clones of M. persicae from Australia collected two decades apart, to assess whether these effects could explain the persistence of Regiella in natural populations. Genome sequencing revealed > 99.99% similarity between the Regiella strains from these clones. Regiella was stable in laboratory cultures and transmitted horizontally on excised leaves and intact plants. Fitness assays showed Regiella had modest costs to aphid reproduction but provided some benefits under heat stress, with no host‐plant‐specific effects. Regiella did not impact transmission of turnip yellows virus. Regiella provided strong protection against parasitism by two common parasitoid wasps, Diaeretiella rapae and Aphidius colemani . These findings indicate that while Regiella has limited fitness effects on M. persicae in the absence of parasitoids, its strong protection against parasitism underscores an important ecological function. However, these effects alone are not sufficient to explain the low incidence of Regiella in natural M. persicae populations, despite evidence for horizontal transfer.

Temperature-based diagnosis of the Gulf Stream path overestimates its northward shift in a warming ocean - Lina Garcia-Suarez; Katja Fennel; Neha Mehendale; Tronje Kemena; David P. Keller (Ocean Science, 2026)
Temperature-based criteria for diagnosing the location of the Gulf Stream (GS) are widely used and suggest a northward shift of the GS is underway. The apparent northward shift in the GS path has been causally linked to the recent rapid warming in the northwest Atlantic Ocean. This study uses high-resolution climate models to show that temperature-based criteria for diagnosing the GS path overestimate its northward shift in warming scenarios and, for one of the models, indicate a northward shift that does not occur. In contrast, a sea surface height (SSH)-based criterion for diagnosing the GS path remains closely aligned with the true GS core in a warming ocean and thus provides a more reliable estimate of shifts in its path. The temperature-based assessments are biased by the rising background temperature in the ocean, thus creating a misleading indication of a GS migration. These results call into question the notion that warming in the northwest North Atlantic is causally related to a northward migration of the GS and emphasize the need for more robust indicators of its position.

Advancements in microalgae-mediated technologies for antibiotic removal from wastewater: a review - Neha Pathania; Swati Kumari; Kamlesh Thakur; Saurabh Kulshrestha; Rohit Khargotra (Biodegradation, 2026)
The development of efficient systems for removing antibiotics from wastewater is being pushed by increase in antibiotic resistance brought on by the environmental discharge of antibiotics. Antibiotic were not completely eliminated using conventional technologies like activated sludge, constructed wetland systems and many other procedures. A viable alternative for treating wastewater through adsorption, accumulation, biodegradation, photodegradation, and hydrolysis has recently been investigated using microalgae-based technology. This review focuses on effects of antibiotics on microalgae, as well as the ways in which microalgae remove antibiotics and how they work with other technologies to do so, including photocatalysis, advanced oxidation, and complementary microorganism degradation. The physiochemical and operational parameters like pH, temperature, light intensity and many more which influence the elimination of antibiotics in the wastewater treatment system. Future research requirements, further opportunities, the limitations of the available microalgae-based technologies were also discussed.

Intracellular Amorphous Calcium Carbonate Biomineralization in Methanotrophic Gammaproteobacteria Was Acquired by Horizontal Gene Transfer From Cyanobacteria - Karim Benzerara; Maxime Millet; Fériel Skouri‐Panet; Geoffroy Gaschignard; Neha Mehta; Malo Bezard; Géraldine Caumes; Daniel M. Chevrier; Manuela Dezi; Arnaud Duverger; Jean‐Michel Guigner; Ana Gutiérrez‐Preciado; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2026)
Some bacteria genetically control the biomineralisation of intracellular amorphous calcium carbonates (iACC) with potential implications for microbial physiology, evolution, bioremediation and biogeochemical cycling. Until now, this capacity has been documented in Cyanobacteria , the giant gammaproteobacterium Achromatium and a few magnetotactic Pseudomonadota and Nitrospirota . Here, we report the discovery of iACC biomineralisation in members of the Methylococcaceae , a family of aerobic methanotrophic Gammaproteobacteria . A homologue of the ccyA gene, a diagnostic marker for iACC formation in Cyanobacteria , was identified in several Methylococcaceae genomes, based on the conserved C‐terminal (GlyZip)3 domain of the encoded calcyanin protein. Moreover, two cultivated strains, Methylococcus geothermalis and Methylococcus mesophilus , whose genomes contained the ccyA gene, were consistently shown to form iACC. The ccyA genes of Methylococcaceae and Microcystis share higher sequence similarity than with other Cyanobacteria , suggesting horizontal gene transfer (HGT) from an ancestral Microcystis ‐like cyanobacterium to Methylococcaceae . This finding extends the known taxonomic distribution of ccyA and suggests that the capability to biomineralize iACC was acquired by HGT. The discovery of iACC in methane‐oxidising Methylococcaceae highlights a previously unrecognised coupling between calcium carbonate biomineralisation and methane cycling in aquatic environments, suggesting an overlooked role of iACC formation in microbial carbon storage and local geochemical regulation.

Sexual Selection Associated With an Aggressive Male Phenotype Reduces Population Size and Hinders Population Recovery After Heat Stress - Neha Pandey; Neelam Porwal; Jonathan M. Parrett; Jacek Radwan; Robert J. Knell; Tom C. Cameron (Ecology Letters, 2026)
Population recovery following environmental stress is known to depend on demographic structure, life‐history and evolutionary dynamics. However, it is unclear how traits shaped by sexual selection affect population dynamics and recovery. We examined this by manipulating presence/absence of males expressing either a non‐aggressive ‘scrambler’ phenotype or an aggressive and lethally armed ‘fighter’ phenotype in soil mite populations of different size. We experimentally altered the male phenotype in populations, subjected them to heat stress, and analysed their population dynamics and recovery. We show that populations with fighter males exhibited (i) reduced population size and stability, (ii) greater decline in response to heat stress in larger populations, (iii) higher rate of growth and (iv) incomplete population recovery. Such reduced population stability and recovery linked with armed and aggressive phenotypes underlines the importance of sexual selection in mediating population dynamics and resilience to environmental change with implications for managing natural populations.

Assessment of Mycorrhizal Associations in Picea smithiana Through Sporocarp Diversity and Morpho‐Anatomical and Fungal Metabarcoding Analyses of Roots - Ashwani Tapwal; Neha Sharma; Pitambar Singh Negi (New Zealand Journal of Botany, 2026)
Picea smithiana , an important Himalayan conifer, is facing population decline due to excessive logging and poor natural regeneration. The species depends on ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi that play a crucial role in its growth, nutrient uptake, and overall survival. In the present study, morphoanatomical and molecular approaches were used to characterize the ECM fungal community associated with P. smithiana . Sporocarps were identified, mycorrhizal roots were examined through morphotyping, and Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS)‐based amplicon sequencing was conducted using the Illumina MiSeq platform. Morphotyping revealed 14 ECM morphotypes, sporocarp sampling identified 28 fungal species, and metabarcoding detected 16 ECM fungal species in the roots. Overall, ECM fungi represented 79.1% of the total fungal community, with Tuber (70.71%) and Russula (24.95%) emerging as dominant taxa. These results provide insights into the ECM fungal diversity of P. smithiana and emphasize the potential of dominant symbionts for seedling inoculation, offering a promising strategy for the conservation and restoration of the declining Himalayan conifer.
