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
Accommodating site variation in neuroimaging data using normative and hierarchical Bayesian models
The potential of normative modeling to make individualized predictions from neuroimaging data has enabled inferences that go beyond the case-control approach.However, site effects are often confounded with variables of interest in a complex manner and can bias estimates of normative models, which has impeded the application of normative models to l
A full-length transcriptome and gene expression analysis of three detoxification gene families in a predatory stink bug, Picromerus lewisi
The predatory stink bug P.Lewisi shows potential for Integrated Pest Management programs for controlling Lepidoptera pest insects in crops and forests.The importance of this insect for biological control has stimulated several studies into its biology and ecology.However, P.lewisi has little genetic information available.In the present study, PacBi
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
Development and In Vitro Validation of Antibacterial Paints Containing Chloroxylenol and Terpineol
The establishment of self-disinfecting surfaces is an important method to avoid surface contamination.Recently, Siren paints with antimicrobial properties have been developed to be applied on different surfaces, avoiding contamination with pathogens.In this work, self-disinfecting paints containing Chloroxylenol (CLX), Terpineol (TRP), and a mixtur
