The Female Reproductive Tract Microbiota: Friends and Foe
Life, 2023 We do not seem to be the only owner of our body; it houses a large population of microorganisms. Through countless years of coevolution, microbes and hosts have developed complex relationships.

Genetic and phenotypic time trends of litter size, piglet mortality, and birth weight in pigs
Frontiers in Animal Science, 2023 IntroductionLitter size in pigs has increased steadily since 1990. Because of unfavorable genetic correlations with piglet mortality, breeding goals should include survival traits next to litter size.

Genomics in Bacterial Taxonomy: Impact on the Genus Pseudomonas
Genes, 2020 The introduction of genomics is profoundly changing current bacterial taxonomy. Phylogenomics provides accurate methods for delineating species and allows us to infer the phylogeny of higher taxonomic ranks as well as those at the subspecies level.

Establishing Parameters for Selecting Eligible Neutral Current Neutrino-Proton Elastic Scattering Events using MINERνA Detector Samples [PDF]
, 2022 The neutrino has been a theorized particle since the early 1900’s but its elusive nature has made detecting, understanding, and characterizing it particularly difficult.

Educational assortative mating in Italy: what can Gini’s homogamy index still say? [PDF]
, 2015 The homogamy index proposed by Gini is applied to describe the changes occurred in marital choice - across time and regions in Italy. The relevant increase in education by women has provoked an increase in the number of homogamous couples and in an ...

Sequence variation, evolutionary constraint, and selection at the CD163 gene in pigs
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2018 Background In this work, we investigated sequence variation, evolutionary constraint, and selection at the CD163 gene in pigs. A functional CD163 protein is required for infection by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, which is a serious

The Lipman-Zariski conjecture in genus one higher [PDF]
, 2020 We prove the Lipman-Zariski conjecture for complex surface singularities with $p_g - g - b \le 2$. Here $p_g$ is the geometric genus, $g$ is the sum of the genera of the exceptional curves and $b$ is the first Betti number of the dual graph.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019 The causative agents of leptospirosis are responsible for an emerging zoonotic disease worldwide. One of the major routes of transmission for leptospirosis is the natural environment contaminated with the urine of a wide range of reservoir animals. Soils
