Dosage Compensation of X-Linked Muller Element F Genes but Not X-Linked Transgenes in the Australian Sheep Blowfly.

In most animals that have X and Y sex chromosomes, chromosome-wide mechanisms are used to balance X-linked gene expression in males and females.In the fly Drosophila melanogaster, the dosage compensation mechanism also generally extends to X-linked transgenes.Over 70 transgenic lines of the Australian sheep blowfly Lucilia cuprina have 703 been mad

Biodiversity of ecosystems in an arid setting: The late Albian plant communities and associated biota from eastern Iberia

Deserts are stressful environments where the living beings must acquire different strategies to survive due to the water stress conditions.From the late Albian to the early Cenomanian, the northern and eastern parts of Iberia were the location of the desert system represented by deposits assigned to the Utrillas Group, which bear abundant amber wit
