Benznidazole-resistance in Trypanosoma cruzi is a readily acquired trait that can arise independently in a single population.
(2012-07-15)
Benznidazole is the frontline drug used against Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease. However, treatment failures are often reported. Here, we demonstrate that independently acquired mutations in the ...
Molecular diet analysis of two african free-tailed bats (molossidae) using high throughput sequencing.
(2011)
Given the diversity of prey consumed by insectivorous bats, it is difficult to discern the composition of their diet using morphological or conventional PCR-based analyses of their faeces. We demonstrate the use of a ...
RelTime Rates Collapse to a Strict Clock When Estimating the Timeline of Animal Diversification.
(2017-05-01)
Establishing an accurate timescale for the history of life is crucial to understand evolutionary processes. For this purpose, relaxed molecular clock models implemented in a Bayesian MCMC framework are generally used. ...
Analysis of the genetic variation in mitochondrial DNA, Y-chromosome sequences, and MC1R sheds light on the ancestry of Nigerian indigenous pigs.
(2017-06-26)
BACKGROUND: The history of pig populations in Africa remains controversial due to insufficient evidence from archaeological and genetic data. Previously, a Western ancestry for West African pigs was reported based on loci ...
