Leucopternis albicollis is a diurnal bird of prey with extensive karyotype reorganization. Chromosome-specific probes from this species have been used successfully to detect intrachromosomal rearrangements in different species of bird since 2010. How...

Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis is one of the most common zoonotic pathogens. We report here the genome sequence of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis S-25048 isolated from chicken (Gallus gallus domesticu...

The androgenic signalling pathway is essential for carcinogenesis and tumour development in prostate cancer (PC). The importance of that pathway makes it the main target of treatments against PC, among which androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) stands...

Canine transmissible venereal tumor (CTVT) is the oldest known cancer in the world. Cytomorphologically, the cases are classified into three types. Previous studies have shown that the insertion of the transposable element LINE-1 in the MYC gene has...

Prostate cancer (PC) is one of the most prevalent tumours in the world, however, the hereditary (Hereditary PC; HPC) form is a rare pathology, that does not exceed 6%. Despite its very low incidence, a family history of PC in a first-degree relative...

5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) is the central enzyme of the shikimate pathway to synthesize three aromatic amino acids in fungi, plants and prokaryotes. This enzyme is the target of the herbicide glyphosate. In most plants and pr...

Peroxisomes are the type of organelles in eukaryotic cells that are involved in different biochemical pathways depending on the type of cell. We have isolated a number of peroxisome unusual positioning (peup) mutants, which display the accumulation o...

In this work, we aim to identify the genetic causes of pathogenesis in Argentinean patients with multiple congenital anomalies (MCA) and isolated Congenital Heart Disease (iCHD). We recruited 174 MCA and 194 iCHD patients from 15 public hospitals. Ka...

Genome assemblies are becoming increasingly important for understanding genetic diversity in threatened species. However, due to limited budgets in the area of conservation biology, genome assemblies, when available, tend to be highly fragmented with...

Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) is the third most common urologic malignancy, remaining one of the most lethal urological malignancies, preferably in developed countries. The incidence and mortality rates differ significantly according to sex, race, age a...
