Molecular evolution of a malaria resistance gene (DARC) in primates
(SPRINGERNEW YORK, 2012)
Genes involved in host-pathogen interactions are often strongly affected by positive natural selection. The Duffy antigen, coded by the Duffy antigen receptor for chemokines (DARC) gene, serves as a receptor for Plasmodium ...
Agroindustrial Wastes as Alternative for Lipase Production by Candida viswanathii under Solid-State Cultivation: Purification, Biochemical Properties, and Its Potential for Poultry Fat Hydrolysis
(2016-01-01)
The aims of this work were to establish improved conditions for lipase production by Candida viswanathii using agroindustrial wastes in solid-state cultivation and to purify and evaluate the application of this enzyme for ...
Landscape genomics: natural selection drives the evolution of mitogenome in penguins
(2018)
Background: Mitochondria play a key role in the balance of energy and heat production, and therefore the mitochondrial genome is under natural selection by environmental temperature and food availability, since starvation ...

Production and Characterization of L-Asparaginases of Streptomyces Isolated from the Arauca Riverbank (Colombia)
(The Open Microbiology Journal, 2019-01-19)
Introduction:
L-asparaginase, is known as an anti-cancer agent, mainly used in acute lymphoblastic leukemia, which prevents the proliferation of tumor cells. This study shows that there are unexplored regions in Colombia ...
Foundational errors in the Neutral and Nearly-Neutral theories of evolution in relation to the Synthetic Theory. Is a new evolutionary paradigm necessary?
(SOC BIOLGIA CHILE, 2013-03-11)
The Neutral Theory of Evolution (NTE) proposes mutation and random genetic drift as the most important evolutionary factors. The
most conspicuous feature of evolution is the genomic stability during paleontological eras ...
Genetic diversity of the HLA-G coding region in Amerindian populations from the Brazilian Amazon: a possible role of natural selection
(2013-10-03)
HLA-G has an important role in the modulation of the maternal immune system during pregnancy, and evidence that balancing selection acts in the promoter and 3′UTR regions has been previously reported. To determine whether ...
