The enlargement of the Suez Canal and introduction of non-indigenous species to the Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
The Suez Canal is one of the most important waterways in the world – during the last year 17,148 ships passed through the Canal – reducing emissions, saving time, and operating costs to shippers. The rapid increase in ship size from the “Post-Suezmax” (>

PuffAligner: a fast, efficient and accurate aligner based on the Pufferfish index
Motivation Sequence alignment is one of the first steps in many modern genomic analyses, such as variant detection, transcript abundance estimation and metagenomic profiling. Unfortunately, it is often a computationally expensive procedure.

In ovo omnia: diversification by duplication in fish and other vertebrates : [minireview] [PDF]
Gene and genome duplications are considered to be the main evolutionary mechanisms contributing to the unrivalled biodiversity of bony fish. New studies of vitellogenin yolk proteins, including a report in BMC Evolutionary Biology, reveal that the genes ...

Diversification of the expanded teleost-specific toll-like receptor family in Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Toll-like receptors (Tlrs) are major molecular pattern recognition receptors of the innate immune system. Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) is the first vertebrate known to have lost most of the mammalian Tlr orthologues, particularly all bacterial

Identifying secretomes in people, pufferfish and pigs [PDF]
The proteins processed by the secretory pathway (secretome) are critical players in the development of multi-cellular eukaryotic organisms but have yet to be comprehensively studied at the genomic level. In this study, we use the Target P algorithm to predict human (13-20% of proteins found in individual datasets) and Fugu (14%) secretomes based on ...

TOX defines a conserved subfamily of HMG-box proteins [PDF]
Background HMG-box proteins are a large and diverse superfamily of architectural factors that share one or more copies of a sequence- and structurally-related DNA binding domain. These proteins can modify chromatin structure by bending and unwinding DNA.
