FOGS: A SNPSTR Marker Database to Combat Wildlife Trafficking and a Cell Culture Bank for Ex-Situ Conservation. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Illegal wildlife trade is a growing problem internationally. Poaching of animals not only leads to the extinction of populations and species but also has serious consequences for ecosystems and economies. This study introduces a molecular marker system that authorities can use to detect and substantiate wildlife trafficking.

A glance over the fence: Using phylogeny and species comparison for a better understanding of antigen recognition by human γδ T‐cells

Immunological Reviews, Volume 298, Issue 1, Page 218-236, November 2020., 2020
Abstract Both, jawless and jawed vertebrates possess three lymphocyte lineages defined by highly diverse antigen receptors: Two T‐cell‐ and one B‐cell‐like lineage. In both phylogenetic groups, the theoretically possible number of individual antigen receptor specificities can even outnumber that of lymphocytes of a whole organism.

New missense variants in RELT causing hypomineralised amelogenesis imperfecta

Clinical Genetics, Volume 97, Issue 5, Page 688-695, May 2020., 2020
Abstract Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a heterogeneous group of genetic diseases characterised by dental enamel malformation. Pathogenic variants in at least 33 genes cause syndromic or non‐syndromic AI. Recently variants in RELT, encoding an orphan receptor in the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily, were found to cause recessive AI, as part of

Bilateral pre-axial polydactyly in a wild juvenile Hoffmann’s two-toed sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni)

Xenarthra
Polydactyly is a relatively common congenital condition in humans, also described in some other species of animals, where more digits than usual are present in the hands or feet. The literature about congenital anomalies in sloths is sparse.
