Análise de variáveis de aptidão física, composição corporal e capacidade funcio...
Roque, SaraIntrodução: As doenças não transmissíveis (DNT), também conhecidas como doenças crónicas, são a principal causa de morte em todo o mundo. A aptidão cardiorrespiratória é um forte indicador de saúde para as DNT e a expectativa de vida, estando associada a maiores números de absentismo no trabalho e a ocupações maioritariamente sedentárias, quando reduzida. Objetivos: Analisar os níveis de aptidão física dos cola...
MAMMALS IN PORTUGAL: A data set of terrestrial, volant, and marine mammal occur...
Grilo, Clara; Afonso, Beatriz C.; Afonso, Filipe; Alexandre, Marta; Aliácar, Sara; Almeida, Ana; Alonso, Ivan Prego; Álvares, Francisco; Alves, PauloMammals are threatened worldwide, with 26% of all species being included in the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associated with habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mam mals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion for marine mammals. Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems func tionality and resilience, and theref...

Reassortment among picobirnaviruses found in wolves
Conceição-Neto, Nádia; Mesquita, João R; Zeller, Mark; Yinda, Claude Kwe; Álvares, Francisco; Roque, Sara; Petrucci-Fonseca, Francisco; Godinho, RaquelWe conducted a viral metagenomics study in diarrheic free-ranging wolves in Portugal, revealing for the first time the presence of reassortant picobirnaviruses. These viruses shared identical capsid segments together with diverse RNA-dependent RNA polymerase segments. Even though causality between these picobirnaviruses and diarrhea could not be established, the study nonetheless confirms for the first time tha...
Arrow plot and correspondence analysis maps for visualizing the effects of back...
Silva, Carina; Freitas, Adelaide; Roque, Sara; Sousa, LiseteAmong various available array technologies, double-channel cDNA microarray experiments provide numerous technical protocols associated with functional genomic studies. The chapter begins by detailing the arrow plot, which is a recent graphical-based methodology to detect differentially expressed (DE) genes, and briefly mentions the significance analysis of microarrays (SAM) procedure, which is, in contrast, qui...

Hematology and serum biochemistry values of free-ranging Iberian wolves (Canis ...
Santos, Nuno M. S.; Maior, Helena Rio; Nakamura, Mónia; Roque, Sara; Brandão, Ricardo; Fonseca, Francisco Petrucci; Palacios, Vicente; Garcia, EmílioHematology and serum biochemistry are important tools in assessing the health and physiological status of wildlife populations. Nevertheless, studies on free-ranging wolves (Canis lupus) are scarce, and no reference values are available neither for Iberian wolves nor for wolves captured with leghold snares. We report 37 hematology and serum biochemistry variables obtained from 26 free-ranging Iberian wolves cap...
Arrow plot and CA maps on microarray preprocessing methods
Silva, Carina; Freitas, Adelaide; Roque, Sara; Sousa, LiseteMicroarray allow to monitoring simultaneously thousands of genes, where the abundance of the transcripts under a same experimental condition at the same time can be quantified. Among various available array technologies, double channel cDNA microarray experiments have arisen in numerous technical protocols associated to genomic studies, which is the focus of this work. Microarray experiments involve many steps ...
