Abstract

The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) provides important information for better understanding the phylogenetic relationships within heteropteran infraorder Cimicomorpha (Hemiptera: Heteroptera), but there are still limited representations at the family level of Anthocoridae. Here we sequenced the complete mitogenome of Tetraphleps aterrimus. It is 15,803 bp in size, and contains the expected 37 genes (13 PCGs, 22 tRNAs and 2 rRNAs) and control region. Gene order is identical to that of typical cimicomorphans. In comparison with other cimicomorphans, the ratios of Ka/Ks are increasing from 0.17 for COI to 0.85 for ATP8, which demonstrates COI shows the lowest evolutionary rate, while ATP8 appears to be the highest. The ratios of conserved sites of COI is the highest, while ATP8 is the lowest, suggesting that the evolutionary rate of ATP8 is higher than COI. The phylogenetic relationships based on mitogenomes using Bayesian inference (BI) and Maximum likelihood (ML) methods show that Tetraphleps aterrimus is sister to (Orius niger + Orius sauteri), suggesting that Tetraphleps aterrimus belongs to Anthocoridae. The monophyly of each superfamily is generally well supported and Reduvioidea is placed as basal branch in Cimicomorpha. ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
