Analyses of the Dmrt family in a decapod crab, Eriocheir sinensis uncover new facets on the evolution of DM domain genes [PDF]
DM domain genes are a group of transcription factors that are integral to sexual development and its evolution in metazoans. Their functions and regulatory mechanisms are not well understood in Malacostraca (crabs and crayfish) while these sex regulators

Inter-year consistencies and discrepancies on intestinal microbiota for overwintering relict gulls: correlations with food composition and implications for environmental adaptation [PDF]
The gut microbiota of migratory birds is influenced by their food choices, and exploring the potential relationship between diet composition and gut microbiota can help better protect related species. By integrating non-invasive sampling techniques, high-

Hidden-break diversity in pancrustacean rRNA profiles [PDF]
Background In the 28S rRNA molecule of many invertebrates, a hidden break splits this large subunit into two noncovalently associated fragments (28Sa and 28Sb), masking 28S in electrophoretic profiles and biasing the standard measurements of RNA quality ...
