Comparison of a Modern and Fossil Pithovirus Reveals Its Genetic Conservation and Evolution. [PDF]
Genome Biol Evol, 2016 Most theories on viral evolution are speculative and lack fossil comparison. Here, we isolated a modern Pithovirus-like virus from sewage samples. This giant virus, named Pithovirus massiliensis, was compared with its prehistoric counterpart, Pithovirus ...

Evaluating the influence of environmental variables on the length-weight relationship and prediction modelling in flathead grey mullet, Mugil cephalus Linnaeus, 1758 [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Fish stocks that are grown under diverse environmental conditions have different biometric relationships and growth patterns. The biometric length-weight relationship (LWR) is an essential fishery assessment tool, as fish growth is continuous and depends

Genetic Diversity, Conservation, and Utilization of Plant Genetic Resources
Genes, 2023 Plant genetic resources (PGRs) are the total hereditary material, which includes all the alleles of various genes, present in a crop species and its wild relatives. They are a major resource that humans depend on to increase farming resilience and profit.

The crucial role of genome-wide genetic variation in conservation
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021 The unprecedented rate of extinction calls for efficient use of genetics to help conserve biodiversity. Several recent genomic and simulation-based studies have argued that the field of conservation biology has placed too much focus on conserving genome ...

The expression of IGFBP-5 in the reproductive axis and effect on the onset of puberty in female rats
Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2022 Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-5 (IGFBP-5) has recently been shown to alter the reproductive capacity by regulating insulin-like growth factor (IGF) bioavailability or IGF-independent effects. The present study aimed to investigate the effect
