AutoSpill is a principled framework that simplifies the analysis of multichromatic flow cytometry data
...
Compensating in flow cytometry is an unavoidable challenge in the data analysis of fluorescence-based flow cytometry. Even the advent of spectral cytometry cannot circumvent the spillover problem, with spectral unmixing an intrinsic part of such systems. The calculation of spillover coefficients from single-color controls has remained essentially u...
Evolutionary simulations clarify and reconcile biodiversity-disturbance models
There is significant geographic variation in species richness. However, the nature of the underlying relationships, such as that between species richness and environmental stability, remains unclear. The stability-time hypothesis suggests that environmental instability reduces species richness by suppressing speciation and increasing extinction ris...
Reduced proinsecticide activation by cytochrome P450 confers coumaphos resistance in the major bee parasite Varroa destr...
...Published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Varroa destructor is one of the main problems in modern beekeeping. Highly selective acaricides with low toxicity to bees are used internationally to control this mite. One of the key acaricides is the organophosphorus (OP) proinsecticide coumaphos, that becomes toxic after enzymatic activation inside Varroa . We show here that mites from the islan...
Chronic medical conditions and their association with crash risk and changes in driving habits: a prospective study of t...
Published in Injury prevention : journal of the International Society for Child and Adolescent Injury Prevention
To assess crash risk and driving habits associated with chronic medical conditions among drivers entering old age. Prospective cohort study. French cohort GAZEL. 12 460 drivers in the analysis of road traffic crash, among whom 11 670 completed the follow-up period (2007-2014). We assessed driving cessation among 11 633 participants over the same pe...
Triangulation of microbial fingerprinting in anaerobic digestion reveals consistent fingerprinting profiles
The anaerobic digestion microbiome has been puzzling us since the dawn of molecular methods for mixed microbial community analysis. Monitoring of the anaerobic digestion microbiome can either take place via a nontargeted holistic evaluation of the microbial community through fingerprinting or by targeted monitoring of selected taxa. Here, we compar...
Targeting a coatomer protein complex-I gene via RNA interference results in effective lethality in the pollen beetle Bra...
...
he pollen beetle Brassicogethes aeneus is a serious pest of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) in Europe. Management of this pest has grown difficult due to B. aeneus's development of resistance to pyrethroid insecticides, as well as the pressure to establish control strategies that minimise the impact on nontarget organisms. RNA interference represents...
Cervical cancer prevention in transgender men : a review
There is increased awareness of transgender physical and mental health widely and in academic research. A significant proportion of transgender men will retain their cervix with an increased risk of cervical cancer. In this review of cervical cancer screening among transgender men, we try to estimate how many transgender men still have a cervix, un...
Geographic and Sociodemographic Disparities in Cardiovascular Risk in Burkina Faso: Findings from a Nationwide Cross-Sec...
Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment is a critical step in the current approach to the primary prevention of CVD, particularly in low-income countries such as Burkina Faso. In this study, we aimed to assess the geographic and sociodemographic disparities of the ten-year cardiovascular risk in Burkina Faso. Methods: We conducted ...
Balancing selection at the ATP binding site of heat shock cognate 70 (HSC70) contributes to increased thermotolerance in...
A number of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) family genes have been reported to be associated with stress tolerance. In this study, the presence of SNPs in either the ArHSP70 and ArHSC70 genes (heat shock cognate gene) was verified in 2 Artemia franciscana populations, either a control population (CF12) or a p...
