Comparative pan-genome analysis of Piscirickettsia salmonis reveals genomic divergences within genogroups
Guillermo Nourdin-Galindo,Guillermo Nourdin-Galindo,Patricio Sánchez,Cristian Molina,Daniela A. Espinoza-Rojas,Daniela A. Espinoza-Rojas,Cristian Oliver,Pamela Ruiz,Luis Vargas-Chacoff,Juan G. Cárcamo,Jaime Figueroa,Marcos Mancilla,Vinicius Maracaja-Coutinho,Alejandro J. Yáñez +13 more
TL;DR: The obtained data suggest that these genes could be directly associated with inter-genogroup differences in pathogenesis and host-pathogen interactions, information that could be useful in designing novel strategies for diagnosing and controlling P. salmonis infection.
A functional transcriptomic analysis in the relict marsupial Dromiciops gliroides reveals adaptive regulation of protective functions during hibernation
Roberto F. Nespolo,Roberto F. Nespolo,Roberto F. Nespolo,Juan Diego Gaitán-Espitia,Juan Diego Gaitán-Espitia,Julian F. Quintero-Galvis,Fernanda V Fernandez,Andrea X. Silva,Cristian Molina,Kenneth B. Storey,Francisco Bozinovic +10 more
TL;DR: Interestingly, transcripts of thioredoxin‐interacting protein (TXNIP), a potent antioxidant, were significantly over‐expressed during torpor in all three tissues, suggesting that marsupial hibernation is a controlled process where selected metabolic pathways show adaptive modulation that can help to maintain homeostasis and enhance cytoprotection in the hypometabolic state.

Draft Genome Sequence of Virulent Strain AUSTRAL-005 of Piscirickettsia salmonis, the Etiological Agent of Piscirickettsiosis
Alejandro J. Yáñez,Cristian Molina,Ronie E. Haro,Patricio Sánchez,Adolfo Isla,Julio Mendoza,Marcelo Rojas-Herrera,Annette N. Trombert,Andrea X. Silva,Juan G. Cárcamo,Jaime Figueroa,Victor Polanco,Patricio Manque,Vinicius Maracaja-Coutinho,Víctor H. Olavarría +14 more
TL;DR: The draft genome sequence of a lethal pathogen of farmed salmonids, Piscirickettsia salmonis strain AUSTRAL-005, is reported, and multiple genes involved in pathogenicity, environmental adaptation, and metabolic pathways were identified.

Exposure to sub-inhibitory concentrations of cefotaxime enhances the systemic colonization of Salmonella Typhimurium in BALB/c mice.
Roberto C. Molina-Quiroz,Cecilia A. Silva,Cristian Molina,Lorenzo Eugenio Leiva,Sebastián Reyes-Cerpa,Inés Contreras,Carlos A. Santiviago +6 more
TL;DR: Exposure to sub-lethal concentrations of CTX increases the systemic colonization of S. Typhimurium in BALB/c mice in part by the establishment of a fitness alteration conducive to anaerobic metabolism.

Next-generation transcriptome characterization in three Nacella species (Patellogastropoda: Nacellidae) from South America and Antarctica
TL;DR: This study represents the first publicly available report on pyrosequencing data for patellogastropod species, and provides an important comparative resource for studies in ecophysiology and evolutionary adaptation in marine invertebrate species.
