An immunogenetic view of COVID-19
Aguiar,Vitor R. C.; Augusto,Danillo G.; Castelli,Erick C.; Hollenbach,Jill A.; Meyer,Diogo; Nunes,Kelly; Petzl-Erler,Maria LuizaAbstract Meeting the challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic requires an interdisciplinary approach. In this context, integrating knowledge of immune function with an understanding of how genetic variation influences the nature of immunity is a key challenge. Immunogenetics can help explain the heterogeneity of susceptibility and protection to the viral infection and disease progression. Here, we review the...
Genetic variability in mitochondrial and nuclear genes of Larus dominicanus (Ch...
Dantas,Gisele Pires de Mendonça; Meyer,Diogo; Godinho,Raquel; Ferrand,Nuno; Morgante,João StenghelSeveral phylogeographic studies of seabirds have documented low genetic diversity that has been attributed to bottleneck events or individual capacity for dispersal. Few studies have been done in seabirds on the Brazilian coast and all have shown low genetic differentiation on a wide geographic scale. The Kelp Gull is a common species with a wide distribution in the Southern Hemisphere. In this study, we used m...
