A fundamental goal in infection biology is to understand the emergence of variation in pathogen virulence—here defined as the decrease in host fitness caused by a pathogen. To uncover the sources of s
Genomic tRNA copy numbers determine cytoplasmic tRNA abundances, which in turn influence translation efficiency, but the underlying mechanism is not well understood. Here, using the sea cucumber Ap
Assembly statistics for AHE sequencing, and exon-based loci sequenced for each species. For each locus, 1 represents presence and 0 represents absence in the main data matrix.
Global warming appears to favour smaller-bodied organisms, but whether larger species are also more vulnerable to thermal extremes, as suggested for past mass-extinction events, is still an open quest
