Research on the genomic architecture of speciation has increasingly revealed the importance
of structural variants (SVs) that affect the presence, abundance, position, and/or direction …

Chromosomal rearrangements (CRs) have been known since almost the beginning of
genetics. While an important role for CRs in speciation has been suggested, evidence primarily …

Background & Aims: Since the International Ascites Club published the diagnostic criteria of
refractory ascites (RA) and hepatorenal syndrome (HRS), there have been few studies …

The west European subspecies of house mouse (Mus musculus domesticus) has gained
much of its current widespread distribution through commensalism with humans. This means …

Chiasma frequency and distribution were studied in male Mus musculus domesticus from the
John O’Groats–standard chromosomal hybrid zone in northern Scotland. Individuals of the …

Uncaria tomentosa inner bark extract is a popular plant remedy used in folk medicine to treat
tumor and inflammatory processes. In this study, the anti-tumoral effects of its pentacyclic …

The tuco-tucos [Ctenomys) are subterranean rodents that are widespread in southern South
America. On the basis of its 60 living species, Ctenomys is one of the most speciose …

A selective sweep is the result of strong positive selection driving newly occurring or standing
genetic variants to fixation, and can dramatically alter the pattern and distribution of allelic …

Speciation may be promoted in hybrid zones if there is an interruption to gene flow between
the hybridizing forms. For hybridizing chromosome races of the house mouse in Valtellina (…

Background & Aims Adherence to antiviral treatment is important to achieve sustained
virological response (SVR) in chronic hepatitis C (CHC). We evaluated the efficiency of a …
