Diapause induces functional axonal regeneration after necrotic insult in C. elegans
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019)
Many neurons are unable to regenerate after damage. The ability to regenerate after an insult depends on life stage, neuronal subtype, intrinsic and extrinsic factors. C. elegans is a powerful model to test the genetic and ...
webCEMiTool: Co-expression Modular Analysis Made Easy
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2019)
Co-expression analysis has been widely used to elucidate the functional architecture of genes under different biological processes. Such analysis, however, requires substantial knowledge about programming languages and/or ...
Adaptation to milking agropastoralism in Chilean goat herders and nutritional benefit of lactase persistence
(WILEY, 2019)
The genetic trait of lactase persistence (LP) evolved as an adaptation to milking pastoralism in the Old World and is a well-known example of positive natural selection in humans. However, the specific mechanisms conferring ...
Computational Characterization of the mtORF of Pocilloporid Corals: Insights into Protein Structure and Function in Stylophora Lineages from Contrasting Environments
(MDPI, 2019)
More than a decade ago, a new mitochondrial Open Reading Frame (mtORF) was discovered in corals of the family Pocilloporidae and has been used since then as an effective barcode for these corals. Recently, mtORF sequencing ...
Long Non-Coding RNAs Responsive to Salt and Boron Stress in the Hyper-Arid Lluteno Maize from Atacama Desert
(MDPI, 2018)
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been defined as transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides, which lack significant protein coding potential and possess critical roles in diverse cellular processes. Long non-coding RNAs ...
Homozygous mutation in CEP19, a gene mutated in morbid obesity, in Bardet-Biedl syndrome with predominant postaxial polydactyly
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018)
Background Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a ciliopathy with extensive phenotypic variability and genetic heterogeneity. We aimed to discover the gene mutated in a consanguineous kindred with multiple cases of a BBS phenotype. ...
Intermediate-Salinity Systems at High Altitudes in the Peruvian Andes Unveil a High Diversity and Abundance of Bacteria and Viruses
(MDPI, 2019)
Intermediate-salinity environments are distributed around the world. Here, we present a snapshot characterization of two Peruvian thalassohaline environments at high altitude, Maras and Acos, which provide an excellent ...
Evaluation of the Abundance of DNA-Binding Transcription Factors in Prokaryotes
(MDPI, 2020)
The ability of bacteria and archaea to modulate metabolic process, defensive response, and pathogenic capabilities depend on their repertoire of genes and capacity to regulate the expression of them. Transcription factors ...
