Light is essential for photosynthesis, but the amounts of light that exceed an organism's assimilation capacity can result in oxidative stress and even cell death. Plants and microalgae have developed a photoprotective response mechanism, qE, that dissipates excess light energy as thermal energy. In the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, qE is regulated by light-inducible photoprotective proteins, but the pathway from light perception to qE is not fully understood. Here, we show that the transcription factors CONSTANS and Nuclear transcription Factor Ys (NF-Ys) form a complex that governs light-dependent photoprotective responses in C. reinhardtii. The qE responses do not occur in CONSTANS or NF-Y mutants. The signal from light perception to the CONSTANS/NF-Ys complex is directly inhibited by the SPA1/COP1-dependent E3 ubiquitin ligase. This negative regulation mediated by the E3 ubiquitin ligase and the CONSTANS/NF-Ys complex is common to photoprotective response in algal photosynthesis and flowering in plants.

Original SAMTOOLS package has been split into three separate repositories including Samtools, BCFtools and HTSlib. Samtools for manipulating next generation sequencing data used for reading, writing, editing, indexing,viewing nucleotide alignments in SAM,BAM,CRAM format. BCFtools used for reading, writing BCF2,VCF, gVCF files and calling, filtering, summarising SNP and short indel sequence variants. HTSlib used for reading, writing high throughput sequencing data.

View all literature mentionsA Bayesian genetic variant detector designed to find small polymorphisms, specifically SNPs, indels, MNPs, and complex events smaller than the length of a short-read sequencing alignment.
View all literature mentionsSoftware package as multiple alignment program for amino acid or nucleotide sequences. Can align up to 500 sequences or maximum file size of 1 MB. First version of MAFFT used algorithm based on progressive alignment, in which sequences were clustered with help of Fast Fourier Transform. Subsequent versions have added other algorithms and modes of operation, including options for faster alignment of large numbers of sequences, higher accuracy alignments, alignment of non-coding RNA sequences, and addition of new sequences to existing alignments.
