HYSTRICOGNATHY VS SCIUROGNATHY IN THE RODENT JAW: A NEW MORPHOMETRIC ASSESSMENT OF HYSTRICOGNATHY APPLIED TO THE LIVING FOSSIL LAONASTES (DIATOMYIDAE).

Hystricognathy vs sciurognathy in the rodent jaw: a new morphometric assessment of hystricognathy applied to the living fossil Laonastes (Diatomyidae).

While exceptional for an intense diversification of lineages, the evolutionary history of the order Rodentia comprises only a limited number of morphological morphotypes for the mandible.This situation could partly explain the intense debates about the taxonomic position of the latest described member of this clade, the Laotian rock rat Laonastes a

Milk bottom-up proteomics: method optimisation.

Milk is a complex fluid whose proteome displays a diverse set of proteins of high abundance such as caseins and medium to low abundance whey proteins such as ß-lactoglobulin, lactoferrin, immunoglobulins, glycoproteins, peptide hormones and enzymes.A sample preparation method that enables high reproducibility and throughput is key in reliably iden

Whole genome sequencing for drug-resistant tuberculosis management in South Africa: What gaps would this address and what are the challenges to implementation?

Global control of tuberculosis (TB) has been seriously impacted by bostik universal primer pro the emergence and transmission of its drug-resistant forms.Delayed detection and incomplete characterisation of drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) contributes to morbidity and mortality, and to ongoing transmission of drug-resistant strains.Current cultu
