C2, An Unusual Filamentous Bacterial Virus: Protein Sequence and Conformation, DNA Size and Conformation, and Nucleotide/Subunit Ratio
(1995)Inovirus C2 is 1295 nm long and 6.8 nm in diameter, and its mass is 24 million Da. Its genome is a topologically circular, single-stranded DNA molecule of 8100 nucleotides. The DNA is packed in the virion as two antiparallel ...

Character displacement of song and morphology in African tinkerbirds
(2009)Divergence in acoustic signals between populations of animals can lead to species recognition failure, reproductive isolation, and speciation. Character displacement may facilitate coexistence of species in natural ...

CNVs-microRNAs interactions demonstrate unique characteristics in the human genome. An interspecies in silico analysis
(2013)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and copy number variations (CNVs) represent two classes of newly discovered genomic elements that were shown to contribute to genome plasticity and evolution. Recent studies demonstrated that miRNAs and ...

Comparative developmental anatomy of the murine and human definitive placentae
(2002)The placenta of eutherian mammals is a remarkable biological structure. It is composed of both zygote-derived and maternal cells, and mediates the complex interactions between the mother and the fetus that are necessary ...

The evolutionary consequences of interspecific aggression
(2013)Competition has always been a cornerstone of evolutionary biology, and aggression is the predominant form of direct competition in animals, but the evolutionary effects of aggression between species are curiously understudied. ...

Species specificity of the complement inhibitor compstatin investigated by all-atom molecular dynamics simulations
(2010)The development of compounds to regulate the activation of the complement system in non-primate species is of profound interest because it can provide models for human diseases. The peptide compstatin inhibits protein C3 ...
