The genome sequence of the Montseny horsehair worm, Gordionus montsenyensis sp. nov., a key resource to investigate Ecdysozoa evolution by Eleftheriadi, Klara, Guiglielmoni, Nadège, Salces-Ortiz, Judit, Vargas-Chavez, Carlos, Martínez-Redondo, Gemma I., Gut, Marta, Flot, Jean-François, Schmidt-Rhaesa, Andreas, Fernández, Rosa

“…Nematomorpha, also known as Gordiacea or Gordian worms, are a phylum of parasitic organisms that belong to the Ecdysozoa, a clade of invertebrate animals characterized by molting. They are one of the less scientifically studied animal phyla, and many aspects of their biology and evolution are still unknown, partially due to the lack of genomic resources for this phylum. …”

tRNA Modification and Genetic Code Variations in Animal Mitochondria by Kimitsuna Watanabe, Shin-ichi Yokobori

“…They are UGA (termination codon in the universal genetic code changes to Trp codon in all animal mitochondria), AUA (Ile to Met in most metazoan mitochondria), AAA (Lys to Asn in echinoderm and some platyhelminth mitochondria), AGA/AGG (Arg to Ser in most invertebrate, Arg to Gly in tunicate, and Arg to termination in vertebrate mitochondria), and UAA (termination to Tyr in a planaria and a nematode mitochondria, but conclusive evidence is lacking in this case). …”

The Influence of Soaking Duration of Artificial Chitosan from by Product Frozening Shrimp on the Effectiveness of Fresh Quality Tilapia (Oreochromis Niloticus) by Ayu Diana, Marnida Yusfiani, Anggi Anshori

“…Chitosan as a natural preservative is an alternative because it is synthesized from shrimp shells and from invertebrate animal shells. Shrimp shell containing chemical compounds chitin and chitosan is a waste that is easily obtained and available in large quantities, which has not been utilized optimally, therefore it is necessary to utilize shrimp waste into chitosan as a preservation of freshness quality in tilapia. …”

<i>Candida auris</i> Antifungal Resistance, Virulence and Susceptibility to a Novel Nitric Oxide-Releasing Microparticle and Its Correlations to Clade Identification by Alessandro F. Valdez, Flora Bohner, Joshua P. Goldman, Ali B. Jaquiery, Eduardo V. C. do Amaral, Dario Correa-Junior, Andrew Draganski, Leonardo Nimrichter, Joshua D. Nosanchuk, Daniel Zamith-Miranda

“…Additionally, the clade 2 strain was more susceptible to treatment with the microparticle, while also being more virulent in an invertebrate model of infection. Our findings were then correlated to visualize parallels between clade identification and resistance/virulence patterns.…”

Dual EMCV-IRES-integrated dengue virus can express an exogenous gene and cellular Mdm2 integration suppresses the dengue viral replication by Tadahisa Teramoto

“…It was revealed that the IRES-integrated DENV2 is prevented from replicating in C6/36 mosquito cells, suggesting that the 5′ cap is an advantageous mechanism for flavivirus translation in invertebrate species. I further created dual IRES-integrated DENV2, in which a non-viral gene can be expressed by the flanking IRESs. …”
