[Background] Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) is the infectious agent of a wide variety of avian diseases, which causes substantial economic losses to the poultry industry worldwide. Polyamines contribute to the optimal synthesis of nucleic a...
[Background] The challenge of classifying cortical interneurons is yet to be solved. Data-driven classification into established morphological types may provide insight and practical values. [Results] We trained models using 217 high-quality morpholo...

The objective of this study was to further inve...
Lu, Tao;Ke, Mingjing;Lavoie, Michel;Jin, Yujian;Fan, Xiaoji;Zhang, Zhenyan;Fu, Zhengwei;Sun, Liwei;Gillings, Michael;Peñuelas, Josep;Qian, Haifeng;Zhu, Yong-Guan [Background]: Plant phenology has crucial biological, physical, and chemical effects on the biosphere. Phenological drivers have largely been studied, but the role of plant microbiota, particularly rhizosphere microbiota, has not been considered.
[Background] Predation is one of the most important natural selection forces. Prey species can optimize feeding behavior and escape from predators based on mobility conditioned by body proportions. With age, mobility capacity increases and individual...
[Background]: The Pantosteus plebeius-nebuliferus species-group is a group of freshwater fishes distributed in endo- and exorheic drainage basins in the Mexican Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range system and central North Mexico. The geological hi...
[Background] During the last two decades, structural biology analyses have shown that viruses infecting hosts far apart in evolution share similar architectural features, prompting a new virus classification based on structural lineages. Until recent...
[Background] Identification of biomarkers associated with the prognosis of different cancer subtypes is critical to achieve better therapeutic assistance. In colorectal cancer (CRC) the discovery of stable and consistent survival markers remains a ch...
[Background] Epigenetic phenomena are crucial for explaining the phenotypic plasticity seen in the cells of different tissues, developmental stages and diseases, all holding the same DNA sequence. As technology is allowing to retrieve epigenetic info...
Seoane, Pedro;Espigares, Marina;Carmona, Rosario;Polonio, Álvaro;Quintana, Julia;Cretazzo, Enrico;Bota, Josefina;Pérez-García, Alejandro;Dios Alché, Juan de;Gómez, Luis;Claros, M. G [Background]: The advances in high-throughput sequencing technologies are allowing more and more de novo assembling of transcriptomes from many new organisms. Some degree of automation and evaluation is required to warrant reproducibility, repetitivi...
