Our rigorous analysis confirmed the previous suggestions that the smallest tit species tend to forage in the exterior tree parts whereas the heavier species use the inner parts. Another ecomorphological pattern is that tits inhabiting coniferous habitats have more slender bills than those inhabiting ...
a Exemplars of the yam anthracnose disease (YAD) field assessment severity rating scale (scored 1–5) used at IITA in Ibadan, Nigeria. b Genome-wide QTL association scan for YAD resistance in the TDa1402 genetic population (n = 53 biologically independent samples) for the year 2017. A...
A full-cycle isolation approach [30] was employed for samples from Římov Reservoir and Lake Medard, with filtered water samples (0.45 µm filters), being diluted 1:10 with Artificial Lake Water (ALW) [31] containing vitamins (0.593 µM thiamine, 0.08 µM niacin, 0.000...
A complex suite of forces is driving the evolution of sex chromosomes apart from their autosomal ancestors or other autosomes within the same genome [10],[16]. One great advantage of studying Z chromosome is it parses the factors of maleness and hemizygosity combined on the X chromosome. We...
A Phylogenetic tree of retrotransposons from human histone genes. B Genome browser visualization for retrotransposons. The whole sequence of the retrotransposon on the top is shown in various colours; green represents TSDs at both termini, blue represents the gene body, and red represents poly(A),...
Based on the phylogenetic tree constructed usingTPSgenes of potato, and four otherSolanaceaeplants,TPSgenes could be categorized into 6 distinct groups. Analysis revealed that purifying selection most likely played a major role during the evolution of this family. Amino acid changes detected in ...
gigantea and the tree pathogen H. annosum s.l. [20, 23]. However, the actual roles of these genes in the interaction are not known. Previous studies have demonstrated a high level of sequence divergence in P. gigantea hydrophobin-encoding genes Pgh1 and Pgh2[20] and the hydrophobins ...
The clade of Teh3-Teh4 proteins is distinct from TipE-Teh1-Teh2, linked by dashed lines based on the phylogenetic tree of TipE gene family members in D. pulex and six selected insect species (coloured), rooted using the distantly related vertebrate big-conductance calcium-activated potassium ...
methyltransferase domain presence or absence was classified by the InterPro Scan domain search (n = 52).CDNMT phylogenetic tree fromF. fusca,F. occidentalis,A. mellifera,N. vitripennis,A. pisum, andH. sapiens. Numbers at branch nodes are confidence values based on 1000 bootstrap ...
Natural evolution must explore a vast landscape of possible sequences for desirable yet rare mutations, suggesting that learning from natural evolutionary strategies could guide artificial evolution. Here we report that general protein language models can efficiently evolve human antibodies by suggesting muta...
