Proteomic Profile of in Response to Heavy Metal Pollution in Lakes of Northern Patagonia.

Over recent decades, Northern Patagonia in Chile has seen significant growth in agriculture, livestock, forestry, and aquaculture, disrupting lake ecosystems and threatening native species. These environmental changes offer a chance to explore how anthropization impacts zooplankton communities from a molecular-ecological perspective. This study assessed the anthropogenic impact on by comparing its proteomes from two lakes: Llanquihue (anthropized) and Icalma (oligotrophic).

A bioinformatics analysis of the CatSper channel in the class Actinopterygii.

The regulation of sperm motility is controlled by several variables, including mainly ion concentrations. In fish, Ca concentrations play an important role in the regulation of sperm motility, and several reports highlight the importance of certain Ca channels in the regulation of this cell function. CatSper is a calcium channel scarcely studied in fish.

VirVACPRED: A Web Server for Prediction of Protective Viral Antigens.

Viral antigens are key in the development of vaccines that prevent or eradicate infections caused by these pathogens. Bioinformatics tools are modern alternatives that facilitate the discovery of viral antigens, reducing the costs of experimental assays. We developed a bioinformatics tool called VirVACPRED, which is highly efficient in predicting viral antigens.
