First off, they're mammals. Think furry, four-legged, and…well, a bit pungent. They belong to the Mephitidae family, which, if you're not a zoologist, is just a fancy way of saying "skunk family." This family encompasses a variety of species, each with their own ...
Regardless of the species, all the genes in these groups present some conserved characteristics, such as small average protein size and abnormal intron number. In order to understand the origin and function of unique genes, we further characterized the U{1:1} gene pairs. The possible involvement...
In addition, we mapped the gene characteristics onto the two ginger genome haplotypes (Fig. 1). Unless otherwise specified, haplotype 1 was used for subsequent analyses. Fig. 1: Characteristics of the ginger genome. Distribution of genomic features of the ginger haplotype-resolved genome for ...
These characteristics mirror those found in the DPANN archaea, which also exhibit small genomes and simplified metabolisms9–11. Consistent with their reduced genomes, CPR bacteria consist of very small cells when observed under the microscope, often able to pass through 0.2 µm pore-diameter ...
MIP channels have certain unique characteristics. They have six transmembrane segments and two half-helices. They have two highly conserved NPA motifs. They exhibit internal homology and quasi twofold symmetry at the sequence and structure levels, respectively. With more and more genome sequences ...
Oomycetes species are clustered in one, unique group presenting two main characteristics. First, catalytic domains classified in the CAZyme database are not detected, except those of the GH5 family. Second, most of CBM1-containing proteins are organized as multiple CBM1 modules, which are either...
Giardia belongs to the diplomonads, a group of protists in the supergroup Excavata whose defining cytological characteristics include eight motile flagella and two nuclei [3]. The discovery of Giardia is attributed to Antonie van Leewenhoek, [4] who in 1681 observed teardrop-shaped flagellates ...
could tease apart the influence of the species’ demography and intrinsic biological characteristics on the ROH distribution. Efforts to improve Ninu genetic diversity through genetically driven population management actions were successful. The expansion of the managed metapopulation occurred between 2016 and...
The piericidin family of microbial metabolites features a 4-pyridinol core linked with a methylated polyketide side chain. Piericidins are exclusively produced by actinomycetes, especially members of the genus Streptomyces. The close structural similarit
8. These characteristics mirror those found in the DPANN archaea, which also exhibit small genomes and simplified metabolisms9,10,11. Consistent with their reduced genomes, CPR bacteria consist of very small cells when observed under the microscope, often able to pass through 0.2 µm pore-...
