Cytoplasmic mRNA Transport: Adaptors of mRNA Binding to Microtubule Motor Proteins
AbstractThe process of mRNA localization in the cytoplasm involves the directed transport of mRNP particles using the microtubule system. This...

CEGA: a method for inferring natural selection by comparative population genomic analysis across species
We developed maximum likelihood method for detecting positive selection or balancing selection using multilocus or genomic polymorphism and...

Genetic structure of selected finfish populations in the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador
The genetic structure of selected five finfish populations, namely, almaco jack ( Seriola rivoliana ), sailfin grouper ( Mycteroperca olfax ), stalkeye...

An advanced approach for predicting selective sweep in the genomic regions using machine learning techniques
Selective sweep is an important phenomenon in the aspect of natural selection. It plays significant role in adaptability as well as survival of...

Behavioral dynamics and feeding strategies of sharksuckers in symbiosis with Atlantic Nurse sharks: insights from a fish cleaning station in the bahamas
The paper explores the dynamic relationship between sharksuckers and Atlantic Nurse sharks within a fish cleaning station in South Eleuthera, The...

Wolbachia-driven selective sweep in a range expanding insect species
BackgroundEvolutionary processes can cause strong spatial genetic signatures, such as local loss of genetic diversity, or conflicting histories from...

The genetic basis of hybrid male sterility in sympatric Primulina species
BackgroundSympatric sister species provide an opportunity to investigate the genetic mechanisms and evolutionary forces that maintain species...

Integration of selective sweeps across the sheep genome: understanding the relationship between production and adaptation traits
BackgroundLivestock populations are under constant selective pressure for higher productivity levels for different selective purposes. This pressure...

Host-plant adaptation as a driver of incipient speciation in the fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda)
BackgroundDivergent selection on host-plants is one of the main evolutionary forces driving ecological speciation in phytophagous insects. The...

Genomic insight into the influence of selection, crossbreeding, and geography on population structure in poultry
BackgroundIn poultry, the population structure of local breeds is usually complex mainly due to unrecorded breeding. Local chicken breeds offer an...

Live-Cell Imaging of Dynein-Mediated Cargo Transport in Aspergillus nidulans
Filamentous fungi have been used for studying long-distance transport of cargoes driven by cytoplasmic dynein. Aspergillus nidulans is a...

Pattern and variation in simple sequence repeat (SSR) at different genomic regions and its implications to maize evolution and breeding
BackgroundRepetitive DNA sequences accounts for over 80% of maize genome. Although simple sequence repeats (SSRs) account for only 0.03% of the...

Genome-wide association of rice response to blast fungus identifies loci for robust resistance under high nitrogen
BackgroundNitrogen fertilization is known to increase disease susceptibility, a phenomenon called Nitrogen-Induced Susceptibility (NIS). In rice,...

Design and construction of 3D printed devices to investigate active and passive bacterial dispersal on hydrated surfaces
BackgroundTo disperse in water-unsaturated environments, such as the soil, bacteria rely on the availability and structure of water films forming on...

Detecting Positive Selection in Populations Using Genetic Data
High-throughput genomic sequencing allows to disentangle the evolutionary forces acting in populations. Among evolutionary forces, positive selection...

Identifying Targets of Selection in Laboratory Evolution Experiments
Adaptive evolution navigates a balance between chance and determinism. The stochastic processes of mutation and drift generate phenotypic variation;...
-
Mechanistic insights into the basis of widespread RNA localization
The importance of subcellular mRNA localization is well established, but the underlying mechanisms mostly remain an enigma. Early studies suggested...
-
Types of Natural Selection and Tests of Selection
Natural selection leaves distinct signals at loci in the genome that have experienced deleterious or advantageous mutations during their evolution....

Vibrational Communication Outside and Inside the Nest in Leaf-Cutting Ants
Ants live in complex societies that organize their activities, as all animal societies, mostly by means of communication. While chemical...
