Microsatellite loci development and population genetics in Neotropical fish Curimata mivartii (Characiformes: Curimatidae) [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
The Curimatidae family plays an ecological role in the recycling and distribution of nutrients and constitutes a major food source for several commercially important fishes.

Diet Analysis for Wildlife Management: Protecting the Cheetah in Namibia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
I spent the summer of 2014 in the genetics laboratory of the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) in Namibia, Africa, to learn about the diets of the carnivores in the surrounding conservancy.

In situ molecular organization and heterogeneity of the Legionella Dot/Icm T4SS

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present a nearly complete in situ model of the Legionella Dot/Icm type IV secretion system, revealing its central secretion channel and identifying new components. Using cryo‐electron tomography with AI‐based modeling, our work highlights the structure, variability, and mechanism of this complex nanomachine, advancing understanding of bacterial ...

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Conservation Genetics, Precision Conservation, and De‐extinction [PDF]

open access: yesHastings Center Report, 2017
AbstractIt has been estimated that three species on the planet now go extinct every hour and that this rate is orders of magnitude higher than the planet has seen in previous catastrophic extinction events. We clearly are in the midst of a sixth extinction, and this one is different from the previous five. Why?

Cell wall target fragment discovery using a low‐cost, minimal fragment library

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
LoCoFrag100 is a fragment library made up of 100 different compounds. Similarity between the fragments is minimized and 10 different fragments are mixed into a single cocktail, which is soaked to protein crystals. These crystals are analysed by X‐ray crystallography, revealing the binding modes of the bound fragment ligands.

An assessment of the habitat preferences of European bison with airborne laser scanning data in forest ecosystem

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Research on habitat preferences is an important part of contemporary ecology. For the European bison, the classic approach to distinguishing habitat features is still being followed, but the limitations of this approach cannot provide the standard ...

Genetic variation in subdivided populations and conservation genetics [PDF]

open access: yesHeredity, 1986
The genetic differentiation of populations is usually studied by using the equilibrium theory of Wright's infinite island model. In practice, however, populations are not always in equilibrium, and the number of subpopulations is often very small.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Genética de poblaciones amazónicas: la historia evolutiva del jaguar, ocelote, delfín rosado, mono lanudo y piurí, reconstruida a partir de sus genes [PDF]

open access: yesAnimal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2007
Amazon population genetics: the evolutionary history of the jaguar, ocelot, pink river dolphin, woolly monkey and wattled curassow reconstructed through their genes The Amazon has more than the half of the world’s biodiversity. Nevertheless, the major
