Shotgun metagenomic approaches to uncover new enzymes are underdeveloped relative to PCR- or activity-based functional metagenomics. Here we review computational and experimental strategies to discover biosynthetic enzymes from metagenomes.

Proteomics has the capability to generate overwhelming quantities of data in relatively short timescales, and it is not uncommon to see experimenters investing substantially more time in data analysis than in data gathering. Although several sophisticated tools for data reduction and analysis are available, they lack the flexibility to cope with increasingly innovative experimental strategies and new database resources that encode both qualitative and quantitative data. I will outline a specification of a flexible proteomics tool that could address many current bottlenecks and deficiencies.

Abstract Background The immortalization of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) allows them to avoid senescence and be cultured through limitless cell passages. Thus, several experimental strategies, such as retrovirus-mediated gene transfer or viral oncogenesis, have been applied for the immortalization of MSCs. The aim was to identifier the most commonly used methodologies and their particularities for the immortalization of human and animal MSCs. Methods The search was conducted in June 2019 and developed in SCOPUS, PUBMED, and SCIENCE DIRECT. Statistical analysis was performed, obtaining the values of total n, mean and standard deviation, confidence interval (CI), and percentage (frequency) for all the predictors. Results The most used immortalization methodology was viral transfection, being the most common immortalized cell type was the bone marrow-derived MSC, and the most used gene for immortalizing both human and animal MSCs was hTERT (39.3%) and SV40T (54.5%). Among the articles analyzed in this review, only 39.3% and 36.4% of human and animal MSCs immortalization protocols, respectively, underwent the tumorigenicity test. Conclusions The virus-mediated gene transfection was observed as the most used and established technique. The insertion of the hTERT gene is still the most used gene for cell immortalization, suggesting that the maintenance of telomerase is efficient for maintaining cell proliferation and bypassing cell senescence. The review concluded that the tumorigenicity tests should become mandatory in order to safely use the immortalized MSCs for translation.

Assistance for the consumer in understanding Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) research strategies and technical aspects is provided. Various measures of behavior and reliability are discussed. Experimental strategies and variations of reversal and multiple baseline research designs are reviewed with particular attention given to experimental logic. It is felt if the consumer understands the principles guiding researchers, then accurate appraisal and useful applications of ABA research outcomes are likely.
