Novel duck reovirus σC hijacks the mitochondrial COQ6-CoQ10 axis to drive NLRP3-dependent pyroptosis. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens
Mitochondrial metabolic homeostasis serves as a critical checkpoint that integrates cellular bioenergetics with innate immunity. While viruses often subvert mitochondrial functions to manipulate cell fate, the specific viral determinants that directly ...

Mitochondrial Abundance and Function Differ Across Muscle Within Species [PDF]

Metabolites
Background: Mitochondria are considered the powerhouse of cells, and skeletal muscle cells are no exception. However, information regarding muscle mitochondria from different species is limited.

Sperm mtDNA Copy Number Is Not Associated With Midpiece Size Among Songbirds [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Tremendous variation in sperm morphology is observed across the animal kingdom. Within avian taxa, the songbirds (infraorder Passerides) have the largest variation in sperm morphology.

A library of avian proteins improves palaeoproteomic taxonomic identification and reveals widespread intraspecies variability [PDF]

Nature Communications
Biomineral-associated proteins, such as those found in bone, teeth, and eggshell, have become instrumental for studying ancient life, as they often survive far longer than DNA.

Lack of Structural Variation but Extensive Length Polymorphisms and Heteroplasmic Length Variations in the Mitochondrial DNA Control Region of Highly Inbred Crested Ibis, Nipponia nippon. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The animal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) length polymorphism and heteroplasmy are accepted to be universal. Here we report the lack of structural variation but the presence of length polymorphism as well as heteroplasmy in mtDNA control region of an ...

A sex chromosome inversion is associated with copy number variation of mitochondrial DNA in zebra finch sperm

Royal Society Open Science, 2021
The propulsion of sperm cells via movement of the flagellum is of vital importance for successful fertilization. While the exact mechanism of energy production for this movement varies between species, in avian species energy is thought to come ...

Avian Haemosporidian Diversity in South Texas: New Lineages and Variation in Prevalence between Sampling Sources and Sites

Diversity, 2022
Avian haemosporidian parasites (Haemoproteus, Leucocytozoon, Plasmodium) in Texas are relatively understudied for such a large geographic area with diverse ecoregions.

Control control control : a reassessment and comparison of GenBank and chromatogram mtDNA sequence variation in Baltic grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) [PDF]

, 2013
This study was funded by an ‘EU bonus’ award given to MTP Gilbert by the University of Copenhagen.Genetic data can provide a powerful tool for those interested in the biology, management and conservation of wildlife, but also lead to erroneous ...

High-resolution mtDNA evidence for the late-glacial resettlement of Europe from an Iberian refugium [PDF]

, 2005
The advent of complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence data has ushered in a new phase of human evolutionary studies. Even quite limited volumes of complete mtDNA sequence data can now be used to identify the critical polymorphisms that define sub ...
