Although plasma pTau181 has been shown to accurately discriminate patients with Alzheimer’s disease from healthy older adults, there are few studies of plasma biomarkers among middle-aged populations. Given the potential utility of plasma AD biomarkers such as pTau181 in screening for disease risk, examining pTau181 in a middle-aged cohort without AD is important for future implementation. The objectives of this study were to...
Genome sequence of pineapple secovirus B, a second sadwavirus reported infecting Ananas comosusNARA Subscribed
The complete genome sequence of pineapple secovirus B (PSV-B), a new virus infecting pineapple ( Ananas comosus ) on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, was determined by high-throughput sequencing (HTS). The genome comprises two RNAs that are 5,956 and 3,808 nt long, excluding the 3’-end poly-A tails, both coding for a single large polyprotein. The RNA1 polyprotein contains five conserved domains associated with replication, while th...
Analyzing drivers of speciation in the Southern Ocean using the sea spider species complex Colossendeis megalonyx as a test caseNARA Subscribed
Colossendeis megalonyx Hoek, 1881 has the broadest distribution of all sea spiders in the Southern Ocean. Previous studies have detected several evolutionarily young lineages within this taxon and interpreted them as a result of allopatric speciation in a few shelf refuges during glacial maxima. However, alternative scenarios such as ecological speciation in sympatry have rarely been considered or tested. Here, we generated th...
We studied the adaptation of the spider crab Inachus phalangium (Fabricius, 1755) to one of its sea anemone host species, Anemonia viridis (Forsskål, 1775) in the coastal region of Rovinj, Croatia. Similar to other brachyuran species, Inachus spp. generally lives within the anemone to obtain protection from possible predators. Using removal and reintroduction experiments, this study investigates the protection mechanism and sh...
