RPGRorf15 nanopore long-read sequencing improves retinitis pigmentosa molecular diagnosis for men and womenNARA Subscribed
RPGR (Retinitis Pigmentosa GTPase Regulator ) is the main gene involved in X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and up to 28% of sporadic RP. Pathogenic variants are mostly located in its retina-specific transcript, RPGRorf15 , especially in the terminal exon named open reading frame 15 (ORF15) , which is a highly repeated region. Because of this complex sequence, first- and second-generation short-read sequencing are difficult,...
Heterospecific social behavior in primates: insights into the evolutionary roots of pet-keepingNARA Subscribed
Primate interspecific interactions with both other primates and non-primate species range from predator–prey dynamics to affiliative behaviors such as grooming, play, and carrying. While many primates participate in interspecific associations or commensal relationships, to our knowledge interspecific social interactions have never been systematically synthesized. Here, we present the first comprehensive review of such interact...
Elasmobranchs, with their slow growth, long lifespans and low reproductive output, are particularly sensitive to fluctuations in nutritional status and energy availability throughout ontogeny. Fatty acids serve as valuable biomarkers for studying trophic ecology, ontogenetic dietary shifts and energy allocation during key life periods such as growth and reproduction. This study examined fatty acid profiles in Raja undulata by...
Aging is associated with progressive deterioration of vascular function and cardiovascular risk. Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is closely associated with cardiovascular health, yet longitudinal data in healthy older adults remain limited. This study examined 3-year changes in vascular and echocardiographic parameters in older adults and their associations with CRF and muscle strength. Forty-nine participants (mean age 63.8 ±...
Congo Basin Carbon Cycle Responses to Global ChangeNARA Subscribed
The Congo Basin and its contiguous forests harbor globally significant carbon stocks, estimated at 65 gigatons of C (GtC) above and belowground. Despite rising temperatures and intensifying droughts, they have remained a carbon sink, albeit weak: 0.26–0.50 GtC yr. −1 carbon uptake since 1980. However, these forests' carbon stocks and fluxes, including gross primary productivity, respiration, net primary productivity, and river...
This study examines conductivity–temperature–depth (CTD), acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) and optical data collected during the PERLE-3 cruise in March 2020 between the surface and 2000 m depth over an east–west section of the Tyrrhenian Sea in the Mediterranean. The focus is on the impact of double-diffusion processes, in particular salt fingering, on the distribution and dynamics of particulate and dissolved matter....
Venom peptides as promising tools for lung cancer diagnosisNARA Subscribed
Geography and ecology shape the phylogenetic composition of Amazonian tree communitiesNARA Subscribed
Aim Amazonia hosts more tree species from numerous evolutionary lineages, both young and ancient, than any other biogeographic region. Previous studies have shown that tree lineages colonized multiple edaphic environments and dispersed widely across Amazonia, leading to a hypothesis, which we test, that lineages should not be strongly associated with either geographic regions or edaphic forest types. Location Amazonia. Taxon A...
