Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been posing an unprecedented challenge to global public health. SARS-CoV-2 and several other coronaviruses utilize angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as their entry recept...
PromethION Sequencing and Assembly of the Genome of Micropoecilia picta, a Fish with a Highly Degenerated Y Chromosome [0.03%]
Micropoecilia picta雄鱼基因组的PromethION测序和组装及其高度退化的Y染色体基因组研究

Tests based on the dN/dS statistic are used to identify positive selection of nonsynonymous polymorphisms. Using these tests on alignments of all orthologs from related species can provide insights into which gene categories have been most ...
High-Quality Genome Assembly and Comprehensive Transcriptome of the Painted Lady Butterfly Vanessa cardui [0.03%]
极乐绢蝶(Vanessa cardui)的高质量基因组和全面转录组组装
Linlin Zhang,Rachel A Steward,Christopher W Wheat et al.
Linlin Zhang et al.
The painted lady butterfly, Vanessa cardui, has the longest migration routes, the widest hostplant diversity, and one of the most complex wing patterns of any insect. Due to minimal culturing requirements, easily characterized wing pattern ...
Metabolic Adaptations to Marine Environments: Molecular Diversity and Evolution of Ovothiol Biosynthesis in Bacteria [0.03%]
适应海洋环境的代谢变化——细菌卵硫生物合成的分子多样性与进化
Mariarita Brancaccio,Michael Tangherlini,Roberto Danovaro et al.
Mariarita Brancaccio et al.
Ovothiols are sulfur-containing amino acids synthesized by marine invertebrates, protozoans, and bacteria. They act as pleiotropic molecules in signaling and protection against oxidative stress. The discovery of ovothiol biosynthetic enzyme...
Comparing Ultraconserved Elements and Exons for Phylogenomic Analyses of Middle American Cichlids: When Data Agree to Disagree [0.03%]
从中美丽鱼科的谱系基因组分析比较超保守元件和外显子：当数据出现分歧时

Choosing among types of genomic markers to be used in a phylogenomic study can have a major influence on the cost, design, and results of a study. Yet few attempts have been made to compare categories of next-generation sequence markers lim...
Distinct Retrotransposon Evolution Profile in the Genome of Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) [0.03%]
兔子基因组中独特的逆转录转座子进化模式

Naisu Yang et al.
Although the rabbit genome has already been annotated, it is mobilome remains largely unknown. Here, multiple pipelines were used to de novo mine and annotate the mobilome in rabbit. Four families and 19 subfamilies of LINE1s, two families ...
Phylogenomics of Opsin Genes in Diptera Reveals Lineage-Specific Events and Contrasting Evolutionary Dynamics in Anopheles and Drosophila [0.03%]
蚤目动物Opsin基因的系谱组学研究揭示了谱系特异性事件和Anopheles与Drosophila进化动力学的对比特征
Roberto Feuda,Matthew Goulty,Nicola Zadra et al.
Roberto Feuda et al.
Diptera is one of the biggest insect orders and displays a large diversity of visual adaptations. Similarly to other animals, the dipteran visual process is mediated by opsin genes. Although the diversity and function of these genes are wel...
Genome-Wide Detection of Structural Variations Reveals New Regions Associated with Domestication in Small Ruminants [0.03%]
全基因组结构变异的鉴定揭示了家养小反刍动物的新驯化区域
