Characterization of the BspA and Pmp protein family of trichomonads

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Trichomonas vaginalis is a human-infecting trichomonad and as such the best studied and the only for which the full genome sequence is available considering its parasitic lifestyle, T.

Identification of antiparasitic drug targets using a multi-omics workflow in the acanthocephalan model

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background With the expansion of animal production, parasitic helminths are gaining increasing economic importance. However, application of several established deworming agents can harm treated hosts and environment due to their low specificity ...

Evolution of an ancient protein function involved in organized multicellularity in animals. [PDF]

, 2016
To form and maintain organized tissues, multicellular organisms orient their mitotic spindles relative to neighboring cells. A molecular complex scaffolded by the GK protein-interaction domain (GKPID) mediates spindle orientation in diverse animal taxa ...

Fecundity determines the outcome of founding queen associations in ants

Scientific Reports, 2021
Animal cooperation evolved because of its benefits to the cooperators. Pleometrosis in ants—the cooperation of queens to found a colony—benefits colony growth, but also incurs costs for some of the cooperators because only one queen usually survives the ...

European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline and EXPeRT Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Management of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms in Children and Adolescents

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) are extremely rare and clinically heterogeneous. Management has largely been extrapolated from adult practice. This European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline (ESCP), developed by the EXPeRT network in collaboration with adult NEN experts, provides (adult) evidence ...

Enzyme-assisted high throughput sequencing of an expanded genetic alphabet at single base resolution

Nature Communications
With just four building blocks, low sequence information density, few functional groups, poor control over folding, and difficulties in forming compact folds, natural DNA and RNA have been disappointing platforms from which to evolve receptors, ligands ...

Inhibition of a nutritional endosymbiont by glyphosate abolishes mutualistic benefit on cuticle synthesis in Oryzaephilus surinamensis

Communications Biology, 2021
Kiefer et al. sequence the metagenome of the sawtoothed grain beetle and demonstrate how its symbiont mechanistically helps the host by providing tyrosine. Providing this amino acid in the pupal stage and early adulthood supports cuticle biosynthesis and

Adaptive evolution of molecular phenotypes

, 2014
Molecular phenotypes link genomic information with organismic functions, fitness, and evolution. Quantitative traits are complex phenotypes that depend on multiple genomic loci. In this paper, we study the adaptive evolution of a quantitative trait under
