“…Exogenous DNA, both allogeneic and belonging to various taxa induces BMCs apoptosis. Plasmid DNA has the greatest effect on apoptosis induction.The analysis of reduction and restoration of BMC subpopulations as the mice progressed to death revealed a virtually complete loss of the 12–20-mkm fraction of the cell population (about 3–4 % vs. 35–40 % in the control), which corresponds to the maximum leukopenia on day 3 after CP treatment. …”

Balancing selection at a wing pattern locus is associated with major shifts in genome-wide patterns of diversity and gene flow by Rodríguez de Cara, María Ángeles, Jay, Paul, Rougemont, Quentin, Chouteau, Mathieu, Whibley, Annabel, Huber, Barbara, Piron-Prunier, Florence, Ramos, Renato Rogner, Freitas, André V. L., Salazar, Camilo, Silva-Brandão, Karina Lucas, Torres, Tatiana Teixeira, Joron, Mathieu

“…We show that H. numata populations which carry the inversions as a balanced polymorphism show markedly distinct patterns of diversity compared to all other taxa. They show the highest genetic diversity and effective population size estimates in the entire clade, as well as a low level of geographic structure and isolation by distance across the entire Amazon basin. …”

“…Despite prior studies on its microbiota, the effects of geographic origin and sex on microbial community structure and functional stability remain poorly understood.MethodsTo address this, we characterized the bacterial microbiota of H. dromedarii ticks collected from camels in Tunisia (TUN) and Saudi Arabia (SA) using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, microbial network analysis, and metabolic pathway prediction.ResultsOur findings indicate a dominant presence of Francisella endosymbionts in Tunisian ticks, suggesting adaptive roles of H. dromedarii ticks in arid ecosystems. Keystone taxa, particularly Staphylococcus and Corynebacterium, were identified as central to microbial network structure and resilience. …”
