Differential transcriptome analysis supports Rhodnius montenegrensis and Rhodnius robustus (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae) as distinct species.

PloS one
Chagas disease is one of the main parasitic diseases found in Latin America and it is estimated that between six and seven million people are infected worldwide. Its etiologic agent, the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, is transmitted by triatomines, som...

Ontogeny and the process of biomineralization in the trichomes of Loasaceae.

American journal of botany
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: South American Loasaceae have a morphologically complex trichome cover, which is characterized by multiple biomineralization. The current study investigates the ontogeny of these complex trichomes and the process of their biomin...

Ontogenetic Shifts in Brain Organization in the Bluespotted Stingray Neotrygon kuhlii (Chondrichthyes: Dasyatidae).

Brain, behavior and evolution
Fishes exhibit lifelong neurogenesis and continual brain growth. One consequence of this continual growth is that the nervous system has the potential to respond with enhanced plasticity to changes in ecological conditions that occur during ontogeny....

Interspecies gene function prediction using semantic similarity.

BMC systems biology
BACKGROUND: Gene Ontology (GO) is a collaborative project that maintains and develops controlled vocabulary (or terms) to describe the molecular function, biological roles and cellular location of gene products in a hierarchical ontology. GO also pro...

Artificial neural networks and geometric morphometric methods as a means for classification: A case-study using teeth from Carcharhinus sp. (Carcharhinidae).

Journal of morphology
Over the past few decades, geometric morphometric methods have become increasingly popular and powerful tools to describe morphological data while over the same period artificial neural networks have had a similar rise in the classification of specim...

BP Neural Network Could Help Improve Pre-miRNA Identification in Various Species.

BioMed research international
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a set of short (21-24 nt) noncoding RNAs that play significant regulatory roles in cells. In the past few years, research on miRNA-related problems has become a hot field of bioinformatics because of miRNAs' essential biologica...

Eliciting the Functional Taxonomy from protein annotations and taxa.

Scientific reports
The advances of omics technologies have triggered the production of an enormous volume of data coming from thousands of species. Meanwhile, joint international efforts like the Gene Ontology (GO) consortium have worked to provide functional informati...

The Disease Portals, disease-gene annotation and the RGD disease ontology at the Rat Genome Database.

Database : the journal of biological databases and curation
The Rat Genome Database (RGD;http://rgd.mcw.edu/) provides critical datasets and software tools to a diverse community of rat and non-rat researchers worldwide. To meet the needs of the many users whose research is disease oriented, RGD has created a...

EffectorP: predicting fungal effector proteins from secretomes using machine learning.

The New phytologist
Eukaryotic filamentous plant pathogens secrete effector proteins that modulate the host cell to facilitate infection. Computational effector candidate identification and subsequent functional characterization delivers valuable insights into plant-pat...
