Evolutionary algorithms rarely deal with ontogenetic, non-inherited alteration of genetic information because they are based on a direct genotype-phenotype mapping. In contrast, several processes have been discovered in ...

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) inter-host evolution has resulted in genomic diversification reflected in the existence of nine genotypes (A-I) and numerous subgenotypes. There is growing evidence that genotypes influence HBV ...

Recently reported substantial genetic diversity within Theileria equi 18S rRNA gene sequences has led to the identification of five genotypes A, B, C, D, and E, complicating molecular and serological diagnosis. In addition, ...

Leptospirosis outbreaks occur regularly in Argentina and other South American countries, but little is known about their epidemiological relationships. Application of new molecular tools, such as the Multiple-Locus ...

Modern breeding programs might have caused a reduction in plant responsiveness to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Flavonoids and polyamines (PAs) are hypothesized to play a role in this symbiosis. We tested the effects ...

Background: Leptospirosis is the most widespread zoonosis worldwide. This disease is caused by bacteria, pathogenic strains of the genus Leptospira spp. belonging to the order Spirochaetales. These pathogenic strains of ...

Modern breeding programs have reduced genetic variability and might have caused a reduction in plant colonization byarbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AM). In our previous studies, mycorrhizal colonization was affected in ...

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is classified into eight main genotypes (A–H) and several subgenotypes. Here, three new genotype F complete genome sequences isolated from patients from Buenos Aires city are reported. The new ...

Bitterness in almonds is controlled by a single gene (Sk dominant for sweet kernel, sk recessive for bitter kernel) and the proportions of the offspring genotypes (SkSk, Sksk, sksk) depend on the progenitors' genotype. ...

Previous studies have classified the env sequences of bovine leukemia virus (BLV) provirus from different locations worldwide into between two and four genetic groupings. These different studies gave unique names to the ...
