Anthropogenic climate change is increasingly threatening biodiversity on a global scale.Rich spots of biodiversity, regions with exceptionally high endemism and/or number of species, are a top priority for nature conservation.Terrestrial studies have hypothesized that rich spots occur in places where long-term climate change was dampened relative t
In this work, we present the Genome Modeling System (GMS), an analysis information management system capable of executing automated genome analysis pipelines at a massive scale.The GMS framework provides detailed tracking of samples and data coupled with reliable and repeatable Patio Heater analysis pipelines.The GMS also serves as a platform for b
ABSTRACT Managing and engineering activated sludge wastewater treatment microbiomes for low-energy nitrogen removal requires process control strategies to stop the oxidation of ammonium at nitrite.Our ability to out-select nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) from activated sludge is challenged by their metabolic and physiological diversity, warranting
Abstract Background Mutant alleles of TMPRSS3 are associated with nonsyndromic recessive deafness (DFNB8/B10).TMPRSS3 encodes a predicted secreted serine protease, although the deduced amino acid sequence has no signal peptide.In this study, we searched for mutant alleles of TMPRSS3 in families from Pakistan and Newfoundland with recessive deafness
Brazil is one of the Beauty largest global producers of genetically modified crops and a center of origin and diversification of relevant species for agriculture and food.Transgenic monocultures occupy around 50 million hectares, whereas smallholder farmers, indigenous people, and traditional communities are responsible for in-situ/on-Farm conserva
