organism cultivar- An organism resulting from cultivation, from the combination of "cultivated variety." scientific name- The recognized Latin name given to an organism, consisting of a genus and species, according to a taxonomy; also called the binomial name. ...
We manually characterised transposable elements (TEs) in the genome following a protocol25for TE classification that characterises TEs through a combination of homology-based prediction and manual inspection to find structural motifs and define sequence boundaries. To this end, we created a species-speci...
Meiotic errors that lead to aneuploidy in gametes can have detrimental consequences for an organism. Crossover One potential product of the homologous recombination DNA repair pathway. During a crossover event, the DNA flanking the break site is reciprocally exchanged. Crossover interference Describes ...
If you have an organism in which the A allele is dominant to the a allele, a heterozygote will produce gametes of either A or a. This is what leads to two phenotypes among the offspring in an F2 cross (ie. Aa x Aa). In genetic terms this is...
The relationships between allele frequency variation in the SNP of CRB1 and the mean diurnal range (BIO2, T. elliotii), as well as the isothermality (BIO3, P. monticolus), suggest a potential role of this gene in adaptation to extreme temperatures (Fig. 4c, d). In addition, we also...
Ageing is a crucial risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and is characterised by systemic changes in both intracellular and extracellular microenvironments that affect the entire body instead of a single organ. Understanding the specific mechanisms
AURKA is predominantly famous as an essential mitotic kinase. Recent findings have also established its critical role in a plethora of other biological processes including ciliogenesis, mitochondrial dynamics, neuronal outgrowth, DNA replication and cell
The low prevalence of the coloboma phenotype in our medaka model can be explained as a result of both, the mosaic organism generated upon injection of the CRISPR/Cas9 system and the non–cell autonomous effect of the secreted ADAMTS16 protease. In this study, we show that TSR1 of ADAMTS16...
in large part because most experiments are conducted in single-sex environments. Because of its short lifespan,C. elegansis an ideal model organism to systematically examine how sexual interactions affect longevity. Sexual interactions with males shorten the lifespan of the opposite sex (females or ...
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) are functionally indistinguishable from embryonic stem cells (ESC) and exhibit remarkable developmental plasticity, capable of giving rise to all cell types of an organism except for extraembryonic tissues. The establishment and maintenance of PSC is attributed to ...
