New insights into flavivirus evolution, taxonomy and biogeographic history, extended by analysis of canonical and alternative coding sequences. (2015)
Journal Article
Forrester-Soto. (2015). New insights into flavivirus evolution, taxonomy and biogeographic history, extended by analysis of canonical and alternative coding sequences. PloS one, e0117849 - e0117849. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0117849

To generate the most diverse phylogenetic dataset for the flaviviruses to date, we determined the genomic sequences and phylogenetic relationships of 14 flaviviruses, of which 10 are primarily associated with Culex spp. mosquitoes. We analyze these d... Read More about New insights into flavivirus evolution, taxonomy and biogeographic history, extended by analysis of canonical and alternative coding sequences..

The germline of the malaria mosquito produces abundant miRNAs, endo-siRNAs, piRNAs and 29-nt small RNAs. BMC Genomics, 100 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-015-1257-2

BACKGROUND: Small RNAs include different classes essential for endogenous gene regulation and cellular defence against genomic parasites. However, a comprehensive analysis of the small RNA pathways in the germline of the mosquito Anopheles gambiae ha...

Monoclonal antibodies directed to fucoidan preparations from brown algae. (2015)
Journal Article
Torode, T., Marcus, S., Jam, M., Tonon, T., Blackburn, R., Hervé, C., & Knox, J. (2015). Monoclonal antibodies directed to fucoidan preparations from brown algae. PloS one, e0118366 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0118366

Cell walls of the brown algae contain a diverse range of polysaccharides with useful bioactivities. The precise structures of the sulfated fucan/fucoidan group of polysaccharides and their roles in generating cell wall architectures and cell properti...

Conformational Changes during Pore Formation by the Perforin-Related Protein Pleurotolysin (2015)
Journal Article
(2015). Conformational Changes during Pore Formation by the Perforin-Related Protein Pleurotolysin. PLoS Biology, e1002049 - e1002049. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.1002049

Membrane attack complex/perforin-like (MACPF) proteins comprise the largest superfamily of pore-forming proteins, playing crucial roles in immunity and pathogenesis. Soluble monomers assemble into large transmembrane pores via conformational transiti... Read More about Conformational Changes during Pore Formation by the Perforin-Related Protein Pleurotolysin.

Triaging informative cis -regulatory elements for the combinatorial control of temporal gene expression during Plasmodium falciparum intraerythrocytic development (2015)
Journal Article
Horrocks. (2015). Triaging informative cis -regulatory elements for the combinatorial control of temporal gene expression during Plasmodium falciparum intraerythrocytic development. Parasites and Vectors, 81 -?. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-015-0701-0

BackgroundOver 2700 genes are subject to stage-specific regulation during the intraerythrocytic development of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Bioinformatic analyses have identified a large number of over-represented motifs in the 5...

G-Quadruplexes in Pathogens: A Common Route to Virulence Control? (2015)
Journal Article
(2015). G-Quadruplexes in Pathogens: A Common Route to Virulence Control?. PLOS pathogens a peer-reviewed open-access journal published by the Public Library of Science, e1004562 -?. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1004562

DNA can form several secondary structures besides the classic double helix: one that has received much attention in recent years is the G-quadruplex (G4). This is a stable four-stranded structure formed by the stacking of quartets of guanine bases. R... Read More about G-Quadruplexes in Pathogens: A Common Route to Virulence Control?.

Stimulus intensity determines experience-dependent modifications in neocortical neuron firing rates. (2015)
Journal Article
Glazewski, S., & Barth, A. L. (2015). Stimulus intensity determines experience-dependent modifications in neocortical neuron firing rates. European Journal of Neuroscience, 41(4), 410 - 419. https://doi.org/10.1111/ejn.12805

Although subthreshold inputs of neocortical sensory neurons are broadly tuned, the spiking output is more restricted. These subthreshold inputs provide a substrate for stimulus intensity-dependent changes their spiking output, as well as for experien...

Magnetoreception systems in birds: A review of current research (2015)
Journal Article
Kishkinev, D. A., & Chernetsov, N. S. (2015). Magnetoreception systems in birds: A review of current research. Успехи современной биологии / Biology Bulletin Reviews, 5(1), 46-62. https://doi.org/10.1134/s2079086415010041

At least two independent systems of magnetoreception are currently believed to exist in birds, based on different biophysical principles, located in different parts of their bodies, and with different neuroanatomical mechanisms. One magnetoreceptory... Read More about Magnetoreception systems in birds: A review of current research.

Linkages between reach-scale physical habitat and invertebrate assemblages in upland streams (2015)
Journal Article
Milner, V. S., Willby, N. J., Gilvear, D. J., & Perfect, C. (2015). Linkages between reach-scale physical habitat and invertebrate assemblages in upland streams. Marine and Freshwater Research, 66(5), 438. https://doi.org/10.1071/mf14008

Determining the influence of physical habitat on biological structure in minimally disturbed settings is important if the effects of alterations to physical habitat are to be understood. This study tested whether reach-scale differences in physical h... Read More about Linkages between reach-scale physical habitat and invertebrate assemblages in upland streams.
