Host-dependent impairment of parasite development and reproduction in the acanthocephalan model
Cell & Bioscience, 2022 Background A central question in parasitology is why parasites mature and reproduce in some host species but not in others. Yet, a better understanding of the inability of parasites to complete their life cycles in less suitable hosts may hold clues for ...

Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2014 Background: Many synthetic biologists seek to increase the degree of autonomy in the assembly of long DNA (L-DNA) constructs from short synthetic DNA fragments, which are today quite inexpensive because of automated solid-phase synthesis.

Revision of Gyrodactylus salaris phylogeny inspired by new evidence for Eemian crossing between lineages living on grayling in Baltic and White sea basins [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 In this research, grayling-specific Gyrodactylus salaris Malmberg, 1957 isolates from Baltic Sea basin were collected in Sweden for the first time. Samples were obtained in three drainage systems: Kalixälven (River Kaitum), Ljungan (River Sölvbacka ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Molecular evolution of olfactomedin [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 1998 Olfactomedin is a secreted polymeric glycoprotein of unknown function, originally discovered at the mucociliary surface of the amphibian olfactory neuroepithelium and subsequently found throughout the mammalian brain. As a first step toward elucidating the function of olfactomedin, its phylogenetic history was examined to identify conserved structural ...

Molecular Evolution of Glycoproteins
The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1972 Glycopeptides have been systematically classified based on the carbohydrate-peptide linkages and on the structure of carbohydrate units, and the hypotheses have been proposed regarding the evolution of these glycopeptides. Of seven types of carbohydrate-peptide linkages so far established, only glucosaminylasparagine linkage evolved in the proto ...

Enzyme-assisted high throughput sequencing of an expanded genetic alphabet at single base resolution
Nature CommunicationsWith just four building blocks, low sequence information density, few functional groups, poor control over folding, and difficulties in forming compact folds, natural DNA and RNA have been disappointing platforms from which to evolve receptors, ligands ...
