Tandem duplications and the limits of natural selection in Drosophila yakuba and Drosophila simulans [PDF]
, 2014 Tandem duplications are an essential source of genetic novelty, and their variation in natural populations is expected to influence adaptive walks. Here, we describe evolutionary impacts of recently-derived, segregating tandem duplications in Drosophila yakuba and Drosophila simulans. We observe an excess of duplicated genes involved in defense against

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.Abstract Although seed represents an important means of plant pathogen dispersion, the seed–pathogen dialogue remains largely unexplored. A multiomic approach was performed at different seed developmental stages of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) during asymptomatic colonization by Xanthomonas citri pv.

Steric Effect in Threshold Photoionization Dissociations of Serine Conformers [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 Steric effect in the threshold dissociative ionizations of serine conformers [CH2OH-C\alphaH(NH2)-C\betaOOH] is revealed by high-level ab initio calculations combined with our newly developed infrared laser desorption / tunable VUV photoionization mass spectrometry.

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.AbstractPeriodontitis is a complex inflammatory disease in which the host genome, in conjunction with extrinsic factors, determines susceptibility and progression. Genetic predisposition is the strongest risk factor in the first decades of life. As people age, chronic exposure to the periodontal microbiome puts a strain on the proper maintenance of ...

Proteolytic processing and activation of Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin by caprine small intestinal contents. [PDF]
, 2014 Epsilon toxin (ETX), a pore-forming toxin produced by type B and D strains of Clostridium perfringens, mediates severe enterotoxemia in livestock and possibly plays a role in human disease.

Mirror symmetry breaking in micelles of N-stearoyl serine enantiomers [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Abstract: Circular dichroism spectra were recorded for micellar aggregates of N-stearoyl (L or D) serine in H2O or D2O. Micelle formation kinetics differed markedly in H2O, but in D2O the enantiomers showed similar spectral characteristics. The results confirm previous observations (1) that described differences in the thermodynamic properties of ...

A Mathematical Description of Bacterial Chemotaxis in Response to Two Stimuli [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Bacteria are often exposed to multiple stimuli in complex environments, and their efficient chemotactic decisions are critical to survive and grow in their native environments. Bacterial responses to the environmental stimuli depend on the ratio of their corresponding chemoreceptors.
