Effect of habitat fragmentationon the genetic structure of the narrow endemic Brongniartia vazquezii [PDF]
, 2001 The monoecious, animal-pollinated shrub Brongniartia vazquezii is an endemic and endangered species of the tropical dry forests of Central Mexico. Deforestation of the tropical dry forest has fragmented the habitat and resulted in the isolation of the ...

Genetic population structure of the grass snake (Natrix natrix) in human-altered landscapes in Switzerland [PDF]
, 2012 Both the conversion of natural habitats to farmland and efforts at increasing the yield of existing crops contribute to a decline in biodiversity. As a consequence of land conversion, specialised species are restricted to remnants of original habitat ...

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Genetic algorithms for structural editing [PDF]
, 1998 This paper describes the use of discrete graphical editing operations to dynamically fit hierarchical structural models to input data. We use the tree adjoining grammar developed by Joshi [l] as a prototypical structural model, and realise the editing process using a genetic algorithm.

When are pathogen dynamics likely to reflect host population genetic structure?
, 2020 Does the structure and connectivity of host populations influence the dynamics and evolution of their pathogens? This topical question is the essence of research investigating the ecology of a Pteropus fruit bat and its zoonotic Nipah virus (NiV ...

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

Investigating transcription factor dynamics in health and disease using FRAP
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.FRAP analysis of GFP‐tagged transcription factors reveals how molecular mobility and target engagement change in response to drug treatment. By combining live‐cell imaging, quantitative model fitting, and statistical analysis, this approach uncovers transcription factor dynamics linked to disease mechanisms, providing a powerful framework for ...
