Genetic mapping of the female mimic morph locus in the ruff
(2013-11-20)Ruffs (Aves: Philomachus pugnax) possess a genetic polymorphism for male mating behaviour resulting in three permanent alternative male reproductive morphs: (i) territorial 'Independents', (ii) non-territorial 'Satellites', ... -
A Genetic Mosaic Screen Reveals Ecdysone-Responsive Genes Regulating Drosophila Oogenesis
(2016-08)Multiple aspects of Drosophila oogenesis, including germline stem cell activity, germ cell differentiation, and follicle survival, are regulated by the steroid hormone ecdysone. While the transcriptional targets of ecdysone ... -
Genetic variation corroborates sub specific delimitation in the Namib fog-basking beetle, Onymacris unguicularis (Haag) (Tenebrionidae, Coleoptera)
(2013-11-20)The fog-basking beetle, Onymacris unguicularis (Haag, 1875), is currently listed as a polytypic form comprising two subspecies. A flightless substrate specialist, the beetleis endemic to vegetationless dunes in the Namib, ... -
Genome of Crucihimalaya himalaica, a close relative of Arabidopsis, shows ecological adaptation to high altitude
(2019-04-02)Crucihimalaya himalaica is a close relative of Arabidopsis with typical Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) distribution. Here, by combining short- and long-read sequencing technologies, we provide a de novo genome sequence of C. ... -
Genome sequence analysis of dengue virus 1 isolated in Key West, Florida
(2013-09-30)Dengue virus (DENV) is transmitted to humans through the bite of mosquitoes. In November 2010, a dengue outbreak was reported in Monroe County in southern Florida (FL), including greater than 20 confirmed human cases. The ... -
Genome-wide association study identifies multiple susceptibility loci for craniofacial microsomia
(2016-02-08)Craniofacial microsomia (CFM) is a rare congenital anomaly that involves immature derivatives from the first and second pharyngeal arches. The genetic pathogenesis of CFM is still unclear. Here we interrogate 0.9 million ... -
Genome-wide functional analysis of the cotton transcriptome by creating an integrated EST database
(2011-11-08)A total of 28,432 unique contigs (25,371 in consensus contigs and 3,061 as singletons) were assembled from all 268,786 cotton ESTs currently available. Several in silico approaches [comparative genomics, Blast, Gene Ontology ... -
Genome-Wide Identification and Analysis of Class III Peroxidases in Allotetraploid Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and their Responses to PK Deficiency
(2019-06-21)Class III peroxidases (PODs), commonly known as secretable class III plant peroxidases, are plant-specific enzymes that play critical roles in not only plant growth and development but also the responses to biotic and ... -
Genome-wide identification and characterization of HSP gene superfamily in whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) and expression profiling analysis under temperature stress
(2019-02)Heat shock proteins (HSP) are essential molecular chaperones that play important roles in the stress stimulation of insects. Bemisia tabaci, a phloem feeder and invasive species, can cause extensive crop damage through ... -
Genome-Wide Identification of ARF Transcription Factor Gene Family and Their Expression Analysis in Sweet Potato
(MDPI, 2021-08-30)Auxin response factors (ARFs) are a family of transcription factors that play an important role of auxin regulation through their binding with auxin response elements. ARF genes are represented by a large multigene family ... -
Geometry of the universe and its relation to entropy and information
(2013-09-16)In an effort to investigate a possible relation between geometry and information, we establish a relation of the Ricci scalar in the Robertson-Walker metric of the cosmological Friedmann model to the number of information ... -
Glaucomatous optic disc changes despite normal baseline intraocular pressure in a child
(2018-12-14)Purpose: We describe a case of normal tension glaucoma in the setting of sickle cell disease in a 9-year-old patient with a five-year follow up. Observations: A 9-year-old male patient with a history of sickle cell ... -
Global redox proteome and phosphoproteome analysis reveals redox switch in Akt
(2019-12-02)Protein oxidation sits at the intersection of multiple signalling pathways, yet the magnitude and extent of crosstalk between oxidation and other post-translational modifications remains unclear. Here, we delineate global ... -
Glycan Structures Contain Information for the Spatial Arrangement of Glycoproteins in the Plasma Membrane
(2013-09-06)Glycoconjugates at the cell surface are crucial for cells to communicate with each other and the extracellular microenvironment. While it is generally accepted that glycans are vectorial biopolymers, their information ... -
The "Goldilocks Zone" from a redox perspective-Adaptive vs. deleterious responses to oxidative stress in striated muscle
(2014-09-18)Consequences of oxidative stress may be beneficial or detrimental in physiological systems. An organ system's position on the “hormetic curve” is governed by the source and temporality of reactive oxygen species (ROS) ... -
Ground state modulations in the CP N−1 model
(2019-10-16)In this work we examine a system consisting of a confined one-dimensional arrangement of atoms that we describe by using the 2-dimensional CPN−1 model, restricted to an interval and at finite temperature. We develop a ... -
Groundwater discharge to the western Antarctic coastal ocean
(2019)Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) measurements have been limited along the Antarctic coast, although groundwater discharge is becoming recognized as an important process in the Antarctic. Quantifying ... -
Group Mutual Exclusion in Linear Time and Space
(East Carolina University, 2014)The Group Mutual Exclusion (GME) problem, introduced by Joung, is a natural extension of the classical Mutual Exclusion problem. In the classical Mutual Exclusion problem, two or more processes are not simultaneously allowed ... -
Habitat and scale shape the demographic fate of the keystone sea urchin paracentrotus lividus in mediterranean macrophyte communities
(2012-04-20)Demographic processes exert different degrees of control as individuals grow, and in species that span several habitats and spatial scales, this can influence our ability to predict their population at a particular ...
