Los intrones o segmentos de ADN no codificadores, son igualmente misteriosos en computación evolutiva que en Biología, pareciendo desafiar a la teoría misma de la evolución. En este artículo se habla sobre los intrones en ...

Introduction: Apert syndrome (AS) is a craniosynostosis condition caused by mutations in the Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 2 (FGFR2) gene. Clinical features include cutaneous and osseous symmetric syndactily in hands ...

Polygonaceae has long been recognized as a monophyletic family but the circumscription of groups within it has been in constant flux. Two groups currently recognized are the subfamilies Eriogonoideae and Polygonoideae. An ...

Non-human primates belonging to the Aotus genus have been shown to be excellent experimental models for evaluating drugs and vaccine candidates against malaria and other human diseases. The immune system of this animal ...

Introduction: Gen p53 codifies a 53 KD protein, an important regulator of cell processes such as proliferation, cellular death (apoptosis), and the preservation of the genetic material. It is known as the guardian of the ...

Recent adaptive radiations provide excellent model systems for understanding speciation, but rapid diversification can cause problems for phylogenetic inference. Here we use gene genealogies to investigate the phylogeny ...
