The San Joaquin Valley is one of the most intensive oil and gas and agricultural production regions of the United States, yet the regional groundwater salinity distribution is not well defined, particularly near the western margin of the valley where salinity is highly variable. Airborne electromagnetic (AEM) surveys were conducted to improve the understanding of the three-dimensional variations in groundwater salinity in the...
Assessing the impact of immobilisation on the bioavailability of PFAS to plants in contaminated Australian soilsNARA Subscribed
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have become a key concern to both environmental and human health due to their extreme persistence in the environment and their ability to bioaccumulate in plants, animals, and humans. In this mesocosm study, Australian PFAS-contaminated soil with a mean total concentration of 8.05 mg/kg and a mean combined PFHxS + PFOS concentration of 7.89 mg/kg was treated with an immobilisation sor...
Mouse phenome database: curated data repository with interactive multi-population and multi-trait analysesNARA Subscribed
The Mouse Phenome Database continues to serve as a curated repository and analysis suite for measured attributes of members of diverse mouse populations. The repository includes annotation to community standard ontologies and guidelines, a database of allelic states for 657 mouse strains, a collection of protocols, and analysis tools for flexible, interactive, user directed analyses that increasingly integrates data across tra...
Processes and mechanisms of coastal woody‐plant mortalityNARA Subscribed
Observations of woody plant mortality in coastal ecosystems are globally widespread, but the overarching processes and underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. This knowledge deficiency, combined with rapidly changing water levels, storm surges, atmospheric CO 2 , and vapor pressure deficit, creates large predictive uncertainty regarding how coastal ecosystems will respond to global change. Here, we synthesize the literatu...
New haplotypes found in stranded long‐finned pilot whales ( Globicephala melas ) in the eastern North Atlantic and adjacent watersNARA Subscribed
Long‐finned pilot whale ( Globicephala melas ) mitochondrial (mtDNA) genetic diversity is considered low, especially in the North Atlantic, where only seven haplotypes have been recorded in previous studies using a 345 bp control region fragment. Such studies have not included samples from Ireland or the Netherlands. In this study we analyzed a longer sequence of the mtDNA control region (631 bp) from individuals stranded arou...
The Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD®): optimizing its use in a clinical diagnostic or research settingNARA Subscribed
The Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD ® ) constitutes a comprehensive collection of published germline mutations in nuclear genes that are thought to underlie, or are closely associated with human inherited disease. At the time of writing (June 2020), the database contains in excess of 289,000 different gene lesions identified in over 11,100 genes manually curated from 72,987 articles published in over 3100 peer-reviewed jour...
Something old, something new: Historical perspectives provide lessons for blue growth agendasNARA Subscribed
The concept of “blue growth,” which aims to promote the growth of ocean economies while holistically managing marine socioecological systems, is emerging within national and international marine policy. The concept is often promoted as being novel; however, we show that historical analogies exist that can provide insights for contemporary planning and implementation of blue growth. Using a case‐study approach based on expert k...
The Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD ® ) is a comprehensive collection of germline mutations in nuclear genes that underlie, or are associated with, human inherited disease. By June 2013, the database contained over 141,000 different lesions detected in over 5,700 different genes, with new mutation entries currently accumulating at a rate exceeding 10,000 per annum. HGMD was originally established in 1996 for the scientific...
