Diverse species-specific phenotypic consequences of loss of function sorting nexin 14 mutations [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2019
Abstract Mutations in the SNX14 gene cause spinocerebellar ataxia, autosomal recessive 20 (SCAR20) in both humans and dogs. Studies implicating the phenotypic consequences of SNX14 mutations to be consequences of subcellular disruption

Fine-scale environmental gradients formed by local pollutants largely impact zooplankton communities in running water ecosystems

open access: yesAquatic Biology, 2018
Many freshwater ecosystems suffer from multiple environmental stressors derived from anthropogenic activities. It is therefore necessary to investigate how environmental changes influence composition and functioning of biological communities such as ...

Exposure to airborne fungi during sorting of recyclable plastics in waste treatment facilities

open access: yesMedycyna Pracy, 2017
Background: In working environment of waste treatment facilities, employees are exposed to high concentrations of airborne microorganisms. Fungi constitute an essential part of them.

Taylor Dispersion with Adsorption and Desorption

open access: yes, 2012
We use a stochastic approach to show how Taylor dispersion is affected by kinetic processes of adsorption and desorption onto surfaces. A general theory is developed, from which we derive explicitly the dispersion coefficients of canonical examples like ...

A polynomial time algorithm for calculating the probability of a ranked gene tree given a species tree [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In this paper, we provide a polynomial time algorithm to calculate the probability of a {\it ranked} gene tree topology for a given species tree, where a ranked tree topology is a tree topology with the internal vertices being ordered. The probability of

PCR-activated cell sorting for cultivation-free enrichment and sequencing of rare microbes.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Microbial systems often exhibit staggering diversity, making the study of rare, interesting species challenging. For example, metagenomic analyses of mixed-cell populations are often dominated by the sequences of the most abundant organisms, while those ...

Reticulate evolutionary history of a complex group of grasses: phylogeny of Elymus StStHH allotetraploids based on three nuclear genes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: Elymus (Poaceae) is a large genus of polyploid species in the wheat tribe Triticeae. It is polyphyletic, exhibiting many distinct allopolyploid genome combinations, and its history might be further complicated by introgression and lineage ...

Particle sorting by a structured microfluidic ratchet device with tunable selectivity: Theory and Experiment

open access: yes, 2012
We theoretically predict and experimentally demonstrate that several different particle species can be separated from each other by means of a ratchet device, consisting of periodically arranged triangular (ratchet) shaped obstacles.

Ultramafic soils and species sorting in the flora of New Caledonia [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, 2010
Summary1. Island floras are generally characterized by disharmony due to uneven representations of plant groups. This has usually been explained by the unequal capacity of plants to disperse and colonize islands, but it has been suggested that the ecology of the recipient islands may also be important.2.

Modelling the effects of more selective trawl nets on the productivity of European hake (Merluccius merluccius) and deep-water rose shrimp (Parapenaeus longirostris) stocks in the Strait of Sicily

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2018
Single-species Gadget models were used to assess the effects of using a sorting grid mounted on the traditional trawl net used by Sicilian trawlers to exploit the deep-water rose shrimp in the Strait of Sicily.
