Identification of candidate protective variants for common diseases and evalu...
Human polymorphisms with derived alleles that are protective against disease may provide powerful translational opportunities. Here we report a method to identify such candidate... -
Analysis of structural variants in four African Cichlids highlights an associ...
African Lakes Cichlids are one of the most impressive example of adaptive radiation. Independently in Lake Victoria, Tanganyika, and Malawi, several hundreds of species arose... -
Novel RNA Virus Genome Discovered in Ghost Ants ( Tapinoma melanocephalum ) f...
Here, we report the full-genome sequence of Milolii virus, a novel single-stranded (positive-sense) RNA virus discovered from Tapinoma melanocephalum ants in Hawaii. The genome... -
Identification of Euglena gracilisβ-1,3-glucan phosphorylase and establishmen...
Glycoside phosphorylases (EC 2.4.x.x) carry out the reversible phosphorolysis of glucan polymers, producing the corresponding sugar 1-phosphate and a shortened glycan chain.... -
Comparative genomic analysis of the ‘pseudofungus’ Hyphochytrium catenoides
Eukaryotic microbes have three primary mechanisms for obtaining nutrients and energy: phagotrophy, photosynthesis and osmotrophy. Traits associated with the latter two functions... -
Population Structure of Red Clover Ecotypes Collected from Europe and Asia
Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) is a highly adaptable species, with a wide geographic distribution. At the genetic level, wild ecotypes possess high variability, which... -
Identification of genetic variants affecting vitamin D receptor binding and a...
Large numbers of statistically significant associations between sentinel SNPs and case-control status have been replicated by genome-wide association studies. Nevertheless, few...
