Snake alarm calls as a public good in sooty mangabeys [PDF]

open access: yesAnimal Behaviour, 2019
Transmitting information about the location of a predator in social animal species can be seen as an investment in a public good, where information is the resource and group members benefit from reduced fatalities of kin and cooperation partners in their community.

Mind the gap: upgrading genomes with Pacific Biosciences RS long-read sequencing technology. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Many genomes have been sequenced to high-quality draft status using Sanger capillary electrophoresis and/or newer short-read sequence data and whole genome assembly techniques. However, even the best draft genomes contain gaps and other imperfections due

Exploring virus relationships based on virus-host protein-protein interaction network [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background Currently, several systems have been proposed to classify viruses and indicate the relationships between different ones, though each system has its limitations because of the complexity of viral origins and their rapid evolution ...

SAMHD1: a new insight into HIV-1 restriction in myeloid cells

open access: yesRetrovirology, 2011
Human myeloid-lineage cells are refractory to HIV-1 infection. The Vpx proteins from HIV-2 and sooty mangabey SIV render these cells permissive to HIV-1 infection through proteasomal degradation of a putative restriction factor.

Conserved presence of G-quadruplex forming sequences in the Long Terminal Repeat Promoter of Lentiviruses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
G-quadruplexes (G4s) are secondary structures of nucleic acids that epigenetically regulate cellular processes. In the human immunodeficiency lentivirus 1 (HIV-1), dynamic G4s are located in the unique viral LTR promoter.

Abnormal behaviour in captive sooty mangabeys

open access: yesAnimal Welfare, 2014
AbstractThe influence of several factors on abnormal behaviour was investigated in 46 singly housed sooty mangabeys(Cercocebus atys)(eight nursery-reared, 38 mother-reared), including self-injurious, self-directed, stereotypic locomotion, and faeces/urine-related behaviours (SIB, SDB, SL, FUR, respectively).

Co-evolution of primate SAMHD1 and lentivirus Vpx leads to the loss of the vpx gene in HIV-1 ancestor. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Cross-species transmission and adaptation of simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs) to humans have given rise to human immunodeficiency viruses (HIVs).

Macaque models of human infectious disease. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Macaques have served as models for more than 70 human infectious diseases of diverse etiologies, including a multitude of agents-bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, prions.

Formation of mobile chromatin-associated nuclear foci containing HIV-1 Vpr and VPRBP is critical for the induction of G2 cell cycle arrest. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2010
HIV-1 Viral protein R (Vpr) induces a cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase by activating the ATR DNA damage/stress checkpoint. Recently, we and several other groups showed that Vpr performs this activity by recruiting the DDB1-CUL4A (VPRBP) E3 ubiquitin ...

Mechanical adaptation of trabecular bone morphology in the mammalian mandible [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Alveolar bone, together with the underlying trabecular bone, fulfils an important role in providing structural support against masticatory forces. Diseases such as osteoporosis or periodontitis cause alveolar bone resorption which weakens this structural
