A complete ancient RNA genome : identification, reconstruction and evolutionary history of archaeological Barley Stripe Mosaic Virus [PDF]

, 2014
The origins of many plant diseases appear to be recent and associated with the rise of domestication, the spread of agriculture or recent global movements of crops.

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 ...

The Global Evolution of Giant Molecular Clouds II: The Role of Accretion [PDF]

, 2011
We present virial models for the global evolution of giant molecular clouds. Focusing on the presence of an accretion flow, and accounting for the amount of mass, momentum, and energy supplied by accretion and star formation feedback, we are able to ...

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.

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 ...

The Dynamics of Molecular Evolution Over 60,000 Generations

Nature, 2017
The outcomes of evolution are determined by a stochastic dynamical process that governs how mutations arise and spread through a population. However, it is difficult to observe these dynamics directly over long periods and across entire genomes.

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

Experimental increase of worker diversity benefits brood production in ants

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Background The reproductive division of labor of eusocial insects, whereby one or several queens monopolize reproduction, evolved in a context of high genetic relatedness.

Star formation in evolving molecular clouds

, 2017
Molecular clouds are the principle stellar nurseries of our universe, keeping them in the focus of both observational and theoretical studies. From observations, some of the key properties of molecular clouds are well known but many questions regarding ...
