Mitochondrial stress triggers a pro-survival response through epigenetic modifications of nuclear DNA
(Springer, 2019-04)
Mitochondrial dysfunction represents an important cellular stressor and when intense and persistent cells must unleash an adaptive response to prevent their extinction. Furthermore, mitochondria can induce nuclear ...
Sequence variation of mitochondrial DNA control region in North Central Venezuela
(Elsevier Ireland, 2012-09)
Horizontal gene transfers dominate the functional mitochondrial gene space of a holoparasitic plant
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-02)
Although horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is common in angiosperm mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs), few cases of functional foreign genes have been identified. The one outstanding candidate for large-scale functional HGT is the ...
Patterns of population structure at microsatellite and mitochondrial DNA markers in the franciscana dolphin (Pontoporia blainvillei)
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2016-12)
The franciscana dolphin, Pontorporia blainvillei, is an endemic cetacean of the Atlantic coast of South America. Its coastal distribution and restricted movement patterns make this species vulnerable to anthropogenic ...
Testosterone induces up-regulation of mitochondrial gene expression in murine C2C12 skeletal muscle cells accompanied by an increase of nuclear respiratory factor-1 and its downstream effectors
(Elsevier Ireland, 2020-01-15)
The reduction in muscle mass and strength with age, sarcopenia, is a prevalent condition among the elderly, linked to skeletal muscle dysfunction and cell apoptosis. We demonstrated that testosterone protects against ...
Genetic variation in populations from central Argentina based on mitochondrial and y chromosome DNA evidence
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-04-29)
We present new data and analysis on the genetic variation of contemporary inhabitants of central Argentina, including a total of 812 unrelated individuals from 20 populations. Our goal was to bring new elements for ...
Genetic diversity and connectivity remain high in Holothuria polii (Delle Chiaje 1823) across a coastal lagoon-open sea environmental gradient
(2010-07-11)
Coastal lagoons represent habitats with widely heterogeneous environmental conditions, particularly as regards salinity and temperature, which fluctuate in both space and time. These characteristics suggest that physical ...
New Evidence of Ancient Mitochondrial DNA of the Southern Andes (Calchaquí Valleys, Northwest Argentina, 3,600–1,900 Years before Present)
(Wayne State University Press, 2019-09)
Genetic studies on pre-Hispanic populations of the Southern Andes have been increasing steadily in the last decade. Nevertheless, ancient DNA characterization of Formative Period archaeological human remains is particularly ...
Epigenetic modification of liver mitochondrial DNA is associated with histological severity of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
(B M J Publishing Group, 2013-09)
Objective & design: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a clinical condition that refers to progressive histological changes ranging from simple steatosis (SS) to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). We evaluated ...
Rapid mitochondrial genome sequencing based on Oxford Nanopore Sequencing and a proxy for vertebrate species identification
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2020-01-01)
Molecular information is crucial for species identification when facing challenging morphology-based specimen identifications. The use of DNA barcodes partially solves this problem, but in some cases when PCR is not an ...
