The study of the genetic characteristics of invasive plant species in native and invaded ranges is an increasingly important attempt for understanding current patterns of invasive plants distribution. While Argentina holds ...

In South America, Solenopsis saevissima and S. invicta are the most common fire ants. Nests are founded in areas under anthropic interference like urban or rural areas, but S. invicta is found preferentially in those with ...

Human leukocyte antigen G (HLA-G) belongs to the family of non-classical HLA class I genes, located within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). HLA-G has been the target of most recent research regarding the function ...

Introduction: The cytolysis mediated by granules is one of the most important effector functions of cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer cells. Recently, three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified ...

We investigated nine Y-STRs on 1136 unrelated males from 10 provinces and three aboriginal tribes of Argentina. The urban populations depicted 654 different haplotypes (66%) and a haplotype diversity (HD) value of 0.9967. ...

β-S globin haplotype (β S haplotype) characterization in sickle cell anemia (SCA) patients is important because it assists individualized treatment. However, the patient with atypical haplotypes do not present detailed ...

Background: Large-scale Parkinson's disease (PD) genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have, until recently, only been conducted on subjects with European-ancestry. Consequently, polygenic risk scores (PRS) constructed ...

The genetic variance at seven Y-chromosomal microsatellite loci (or short tandem repeats [STRs]) was studied among 986 male individuals from 20 globally dispersed human populations. A total of 598 different haplotypes were ...

The main objective of this study was to estimate the genetic diversity levels and haplotype traceability in pacu Piaractus mesopotamicus from the breeding program located in Brazil by analyses of the mitochondrial DNA ...
