Article Synopsis
  • Major aridification events during the Pliocene in Australia significantly affected the distribution and structure of species like the brushtail possum.
  • Researchers used ecological niche modeling to estimate how past climate conditions influenced population fragmentation and connectivity among currently isolated subspecies.
  • Their findings indicate that current brushtail possum populations likely did not have contact during the Pleistocene, resulting in distinct mitochondrial lineages and supporting the classification of multiple subspecies due to limited gene flow and regional adaptations.

Stat5 is of significant interest in the search for new therapeutics for prostate cancer (PC) and hematopoietic disorders. We evaluated the transcriptomic specificity of the Stat5a/b inhibitor IST5-002 (IST5) in PC, defined more closely its mechanisms of action, and investigated the in vivo toxicity of IST5 for further optimization for clinical development. The transcriptomic specificity of IST5 vs.

Summary: Glycoinformatics plays a major role in glycobiology research, and the development of a comprehensive glycoinformatics knowledgebase is critical. This application note describes the GlyGen data model, processing workflow and the data access interfaces featuring programmatic use case example queries based on specific biological questions. The GlyGen project is a data integration, harmonization and dissemination project for carbohydrate and glycoconjugate-related data retrieved from multiple international data sources including UniProtKB, GlyTouCan, UniCarbKB and other key resources.

Autosomal recessive mutations in Anoctamin 5 (), a member of the transmembrane 16 (TMEM16) family of Ca-activated ion channels and phospholipid scramblases, cause adult-onset muscular dystrophies (limb girdle muscular dystrophy 2L (LGMD2L) and Miyoshi Muscular Dystrophy (MMD3). However, the molecular role of ANO5 is unclear and knockout mouse models show conflicting requirements of ANO5 in muscle. To study the role of ANO5 in human muscle cells we generated a myoblast line from a MMD3-patient carrying the c.
