Genomic adaptations to aquatic and aerial life in mayflies and the origin of insect wings
The evolution of winged insects revolutionized terrestrial ecosystems and led to the largest animal radiation on Earth. However, we still have an incomplete picture of the genomic changes that underlay this diversification. ...
El nom de la humanitat
Molts escriptors, especialment quan abordem temes d'assaig i divulgació, vivim sovint la dificultat del sexisme del llenguatge a l'hora d'anomenar les persones. Perquè en català, com en molts altres idiomes, les paraules ...
Improved diagnosis of rare disease patients through systematic detection of runs of homozygosity
Autozygosity is associated with an increased risk of genetic rare disease, thus being a relevant factor for clinical genetic studies. More than 2400 exome sequencing data sets were analyzed and screened for autozygosity ...
Dissemination of a multidrug resistant CTX-M-65 producer Salmonella enterica serovar Infantis clone between marketed chicken meat and children
The objective of the present study was to characterize Salmonella enterica serovar Infantis isolated from chicken meat determining their clonal relationships with S. Infantis isolated from children with diarrhea. Fifteen ...
Impactes
Fa dues setmanes vaig parlar de la importància d'assistir a reunions científiques i de les conseqüències ambientals de la recerca. Un treball recent ha analitzat l'impacte d'un congrés al qual van assistir 15.000 especialistes, ...
The coelomic epithelium transcriptome from a clonal sea star, Coscinasterias muricata
Coscinasterias is a cosmopolitan genus of large asteroid sea stars with the ability of somatic fission as a clonal reproductive strategy. During fission, the animals tear themselves apart across their central disc, where ...
The polymerization of Aeromonas hydrophila AH-3 O-antigen LPS: concerted action of WecP and Wzy
The repeat units of heteropolymeric O antigen are synthesized at the cytosolic side of the inner bacterial membrane via the Wzx/Wzy-dependent assembly pathway. After being translocated across the membrane by Wzx, each ...
Cross-trait analyses with migraine reveal widespread pleiotropy and suggest a vascular component to migraine headache.
Background: Nearly a fifth of the world's population suffer from migraine headache, yet risk factors for this disease are poorly characterized. Methods: To further elucidate these factors, we conducted a genetic correlation ...
Fanatisme mortífer
Aquests darrers anys hem viscut amb estupor la sensació d'un creixent fanatisme suïcida, que de forma simplista s'associa a determinats grups i ideologies. Fa unes setmanes, per exemple, a Catalunya es van detenir més d'una ...
Perspectivas clínicas del manejo de la hemorragia en el paciente tratado con anticoagulante oral: estudio DECOVER
Objetivo. Evaluar el grado de acuerdo entre hematólogos y urgenciólogos respecto a las mejores prácticas para el manejo de hemorragias y la reversión de la anticoagulación oral. Método. Estudio Delphi multicéntrico español ...
Functional Identification of Proteus mirabilis eptC gene encoding a Core Lipopolysaccharide Phosphoethanolamine Transferase
By comparison of the Proteus mirabilis HI4320 genome with known lipopolysaccharide (LPS) phosphoethanolamine transferases, three putative candidates (PMI3040, PMI3576, and PMI3104) were identified. One of them, eptC (PMI3104) ...
Nutrition and PI3K/Akt signaling are required for p38-dependent regeneration
Regeneration after damage requires early signals to trigger the tissue repair machinery. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) act as early signals that are sensed by the MAP3 kinase Ask1, which in turn activates by phosphorylation ...
CpG methylation frequency of TET2, GRIA2, and CDKN2A genes in the North Atlantic fin whale varies with age and between populations.
Recovery rates for baleen whales that were decimated by exploitation vary between species and populations. Age determination is critical for the understanding of recovery trends and population structure, but determining ...
Cost-utility analysis of the use of the 20-valent anti-pneumococcal vaccine (PCV20) in adults older than 60 years in Spain
A cost-utility analysis was conducted to assess the efficiency of implementing a PCV20 vaccination strategy in the Spanish adult population older than 60 years, for the prevention of non-bacteremic pneumococcal pneumonia ...

The nervous system of Xenacoelomorpha: a genomic perspective
Xenacoelomorpha is, most probably, a monophyletic group that includes three clades: Acoela, Nemertodermatida and Xenoturbellida. The group still has contentious phylogenetic affinities; though most authors place it as the ...
Modification of bacterial effector proteins inside eukaryotic host cells
Pathogenic bacteria manipulate their hosts by delivering a number of virulence proteins -called effectors- directly into the plant or animal cells. Recent findings have shown that such effectors can suffer covalent ...
Les parelles d'ocells també diuscuteixen
Segons una estadística publicada pel Centre d'Investigacions Sociològiques (CIS) l'abril del 2014, el repartiment de les tasques domèstiques és la primera causa de discussió en les parelles. A més, segons els estereotips ...
Evaluating restriction enzyme selection for reduced representation sequencing in conservation genomics
Conservation genomic studies in non-model organisms generally rely on reduced representation sequencing techniques based on restriction enzymes to identify population structure as well as candidate loci for local adaptation. ...
Modelling the seasonal impacts of a wastewater treatment plant on water quality in a Mediterranean stream using microbial indicators
Faecal pollution modelling is a valuable tool to evaluate and improve water management strategies, especially in a context of water scarcity. The reduction dynamics of five faecal indicator organisms (E. coli, spores of ...
