A second locality for the Namib darkling beetle Onymacris brainei (Tenebrionidae, Coleoptera) and first report on its molecular phylogenetic placement
(2017)
Onymacris brainei Penrith, 1984 – the most recent species of Onymacris to be described – is known only from its type locality in the Namib Desert, adjacent to the Cunene River in northern Namibia. No additional specimens ...
Functional and Comparative Genomics of Hoxa2 Gene cis-Regulatory Elements: Evidence for Evolutionary Modification of Ancestral Core Element Activity
(2016-03-26)
Hoxa2 is an evolutionarily conserved developmental regulatory gene that functions to specify rhombomere (r) and pharyngeal arch (PA) identities throughout the Osteichthyes. Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) hoxa2a, like ...
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 ...
Genetic Architecture of Conspicuous Red Ornaments in Female Threespine Stickleback
(2016-03)
Explaining the presence of conspicuous female ornaments that take the form of male-typical traits has been a longstanding challenge in evolutionary biology. Such female ornaments have been proposed to evolve via both ...
Expert Consensus Guidelines for Stocking of Antidotes in Hospitals That Provide Emergency Care
(2018-03-01)
We provide recommendations for stocking of antidotes used in emergency departments (EDs). An expert panel representing diverse perspectives (clinical pharmacology, medical toxicology, critical care medicine, hematology/oncology, ...
Gene Regulatory Evolution During Speciation in a Songbird
(2016-03-10)
Over the last decade, tremendous progress has been made toward a comparative un- derstanding of gene regulatory evolution. However, we know little about how gene regulation evolves in birds, and how divergent genomes ...
Factors Affecting Patient Portal Use Among Low-Income Pregnant Women: Mixed-Methods Pilot Study
(2018-03-22)
Background: Patient portals offer patients personalized and secure Web access to their medical information and enable patients
to manage their health care online. However, there is a lack of information about patient ...
Fungal-Host Interaction: Curcumin Modulates Proteolytic Enzyme Activity of Candida albicans and Inflammatory Host Response In Vitro
(2018-08-15)
Current treatments for Candida albicans infection are limited due to the limited number of antifungal drugs available and the increase in antifungal resistance. Curcumin is used as a spice, food preservative, flavoring, ...
Exploring behaviors, treatment beliefs, and barriers to oral chemotherapy adherence among adult leukemia patients in a rural outpatient setting
(2018-11-29)
Objective:
Adherence to oral chemotherapy is essential for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and multiple myeloma (MM) to remain in remission. Few studies have used a Likert-type scale to measure medication ...
FUSTr: a tool to find gene families under selection in transcriptomes
(2018-01-17)
Background. The recent proliferation of large amounts of biodiversity transcriptomic
data has resulted in an ever-expanding need for scalable and user-friendly tools capable
of answering large scale molecular evolution ...
