Dissecting the genetic basis of response to salmonid alphavirus in Atlantic salmon by Domniki Manousi, Dorota Monika Jaskula, Fabian Grammes, Tim Martin Knutsen, Shahmir Naseer, Samuel AM Martin, Thomas Moen, Marie Saitou, Sigbjørn Lien

“…Additionally, another QTL on Ssa07 was detected, linked to infection-specific response. Transcriptomics analysis of the genes overlapping the Ssa03 QTL region revealed significant expression differences among three tandemly duplicated gig1-like genes, whereas allele-specific expression analysis detected several SNPs with putative functional impact on the particular genes. …”

rangr: An R package for mechanistic, spatially explicit simulation of species range dynamics by Katarzyna Markowska, Katarzyna Malinowska, Lechosław Kuczyński

“…Several mechanistic, spatially explicit models have been proposed to address this issue, but they do not cover the full range of potential functionalities. We present a new open‐source R package called rangr, which integrates population dynamics and dispersal into a mechanistic virtual species simulator. …”

Host selection is not a universal driver of phyllosphere community assembly among ecologically similar native New Zealand plant species by Anya S. Noble, Jaber Abbaszadeh, Charles K. Lee

“…Abstract Background A growing body of evidence demonstrates that host-associated microbial communities of plant leaf surfaces (i.e. the phyllosphere) can influence host functional traits. However, it remains unclear whether host selection is a universal driver of phyllosphere community assembly. …”

Utilization of Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) wastes for bioethanol production using Pichia kudriavzevii strains by Folake T. Afolabi, Ibukun E. Ola

“…Moreover, the Pichia kudriavzevii strains could be recommended for bioethanol production at 30 % inoculum size, on using sucrose as a carbon source and yeast extract as a nitrogen source. On using the Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTI) spectroscopy, the detected functional group of the produced bioethanol was O-H group. …”

Regularities of the Natural Evolution of the Proliferative Process in Diabetic Retinopathy. The Concept of Remission of Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy by S. V. Sdobnikova

“…Therefore, the scale reflecting the stages of evolution of newly formed vessels and the scale of severity reflecting the degree of threat to visual functions in PDR cannot be identical. Since the development and regression of neovessels is a reflection of multidirectional processes, the identification of the phase of PDR evolution is fundamental in the formation of research design. …”
