Advances in chemical and biological methods to identify microorganisms—from pas...
Franco-Duarte, R; Cernáková, L; Kadam, S; Kaushik, K; Salehi, B; Bevilacqua, A; Corbo, M; Antolak, H; Dybka-Stepien, K; Leszczewicz, M; Tintino, SFast detection and identification of microorganisms is a challenging and significant feature from industry to medicine. Standard approaches are known to be very time-consuming and labor-intensive (e.g., culture media and biochemical tests). Conversely, screening techniques demand a quick and low-cost grouping of bacterial/fungal isolates and current analysis call for broad reports of microorganisms, involving t...
Population expansion in the North Africa Late Pleistocene signalled by mitochon...
Pereira, L; Silva, NM; Franco-Duarte, R; Fernandes, V; Pereira, JB; Costa, MD; Martins, H; Soares, P; Behar, DM; Richards, MB; Macaulay, VBACKGROUND: The archaeology of North Africa remains enigmatic, with questions of population continuity versus discontinuity taking centre-stage. Debates have focused on population transitions between the bearers of the Middle Palaeolithic Aterian industry and the later Upper Palaeolithic populations of the Maghreb, as well as between the late Pleistocene and Holocene. RESULTS: Improved resolution of the mitocho...
No evidence for an mtDNA role in sperm motility: data from complete sequencing ...
Pereira, L; Gonçalves, J; Franco-Duarte, R; Silva, J; Rocha, T; Arnold, C; Richards, M; Macaulay, VThe first complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences (approximately 16,569 bp) in 20 patients with asthenozoospermia and a comparison with 23 new complete mtDNA sequences in teratoasthenozoospermic individuals, confirmed no sharing of specific polymorphisms or specific mitochondrial lineages between these individuals. This is strong evidence against the accepted claim of a major role played by mtDNA in male f...
