but for many predator–prey pairs, it is unclear whether the species are equally (un)affected or whether temperature changes could shift the balance in favour of one
Francisella tularensisis a small, highly infectious Gram-negative bacterium, causing the zoonotic disease tularaemia1. This species is currently divided into three subspecies, including subsp.tularensis(type A strains), subsp.holartica(type B strains) and subsp.mediasiatica2. Only type A and type B...
Cross-breeding between wild and domestic cats, intensified by the human-mediated worldwide dispersal of domestic cats (Felis silvestris catus), together with the demographic decline and fragmentation of European wildcat populations (F.s.silvestris11), offers a remarkable case-study of anthropogenic hybr...
The complete sequencing of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) strain K-10 genome has shown the existence of over 4,000 genes. This opens up many opportunities to study the interaction of MAP with its hosts and the environment. Understanding the immune response directed at MAP ...
The striped coloring on sheepshead fish (Archosargus probatocephalus) makes them look like they broke out of some type of old-timey aquarium chain gang. But what's more bizarre than their striped patterns is what's inside their mouths: a top row of teeth that look positively human and a...
Gametes are haploid, which means they each have only one copy of the 23 chromosomes that make up the human genome. (The word “haploid”comes to us from the ancient Greekhaploos, or “single, simple, once”.) When the haploid egg and sperm cells unite, they eventually create a person ...
fetus subspecies could not be achieved. In addition, five putative novel Campylobacter taxa were recognized, making this new species identification method valuable in the characterization of novel epsilonproteobacteria. Thus, a single-locus method that can accurately identify multiple epsilonproteobacterial ...
Analysis of the core gene set for Y. enterocolitica revealed that 20.8% of the genes were shared by all of the strains, confirming this species as highly heterogeneous, adding to the case for the existence of three subspecies of Y. enterocolitica. Further analysis revealed that Y. ...
human BMD GWAS associations, including the genesSERTAD4andGLT8D2. We also perform GWAS in the DO for a wide-range of bone traits and identifyQsox1as a gene influencing cortical bone accrual and bone strength. In this work, we advance our understanding of the genetics of osteoporosis and ...
TheNeisseriagenus contains 34 species (https://lpsn.dsmz.de/genus/neisseria(accessed on 2 November 2022)) that are Gram-negative diplococci, and many are harmless commensal inhabitants of the human and animal mucosal and dental surfaces. However, this genus also includes two significant human path...
