Oral chondroitin sulfate and prebiotics for the treatment of canine Inflammatory Bowel Disease: a randomized, controlled clinical trial [PDF]
BACKGROUND Canine inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic enteropathy of unknown etiology, although microbiome dysbiosis, genetic susceptibility, and dietary and/or environmental factors are hypothesized to be involved in its pathogenesis. Since

Evaluating Kinship Estimation Methods for Reduced‐Representation SNP Data in Non‐model Species
ABSTRACT Accurate kinship estimation between close relatives is crucial in conservation and restoration but remains challenging in wild populations due to structure and inbreeding. The efficacy of kinship inference using reduced‐representation sequencing data (e.g., DArTseq, RADseq) is also uncertain.

Influence of soil properties on archaeal diversity and distribution in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica [PDF]
Archaea are the least understood members of the microbial community in Antarctic mineral soils. Although their occurrence in Antarctic coastal soils has been previously documented, little is known about their distribution in soils across the McMurdo Dry ...

A growing number of genetic variants linking non‐autoimmune diabetes to NDDs across different ages offer key insights about a common background of these phenotypes. These findings call for multidisciplinary approaches to care that integrate metabolic and neurological management in affected children.

Comparative analysis of 18S rRNA genes from Myxobolus aeglefini Auerbach, 1906 isolated from cod (Gadus morhua), Plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) and dab (Limanda limanda), using PCR-RFLP [PDF]
The myxosporean parasite Myxobolus aeglefini is a marine species, which can be found in the cartilage of mainly gadid fish species. The parasite has, however, been recorded in the flatfish plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) and dab (Limanda limanda).
