Segregation Distorter (SD) is an autosomal meiotic drive system found worldwide in natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster.This gene complex Pouches induces the preferential and nearly exclusive transmission of the SD chromosome in SD/SD+ males.This selfish propagation occurs through the interplay of the Sd locus, its enhancers and the Rsps
Abstract This study focuses on a combined analysis of various available inputs to constrain the parameter spaces of a simplified dark matter (SDM) model featuring a spin-0 mediator and fermionic dark matter (DM).The spin-0 mediator interacts with standard model (SM) fermions, SM gauge bosons, and DM.We constrain the parameter spaces of different re
ABSTRACT The widespread use of antibiotics has caused great concern in the biosafety of probiotics.In this study, we conducted a 12-month adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) experiment to select for antibiotics-adapted Lactobacillus plantarum P-8, a dairy-originated probiotic bacterium.During balance bikes the ALE process, the ampicillin MIC for th
Hybridization, a common process in nature, can give rise to a vast reservoir of allelic variants.Combination of these allelic variants may result in novel patterns of gene action and is thought to contribute to heterosis.In this study, we analyzed genome-wide allele-specific gene expression (ASGE) in the super-hybrid rice variety Xieyou9308 using R
