Integration and Fixation Preferences of Human and Mouse Endogenous Retroviruses Uncovered with Functional Data Analysis
(2016-06-16)
Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), the remnants of retroviral infections in the germ line, occupy ~8% and ~10% of the human and mouse genomes, respectively, and affect their structure, evolution, and function. Yet we still ...
Reproductive biology and behavior of Doru taeniatum (Forficulidae)
(Revista de BioIogía Tropical 36(2B): 437-440, 1988., 1988)
This study deals with the biology of Doru taeniatum, (Forficuüdae), particulary the habitat, feeding, reproduction, maternal care, and nymphal stages. The density of adults is higher in the older corn plants.
The earwings ...
Relación de las anomalías climáticas de la atmósfera libre sobre Costa Rica y la variabilidad de las precipitaciones durante eventos de El Niño
(2001)
Utilizando los resultados de Alvarado y Fernández (2001), sobre las principales alteraciones climáticas de la atmósfera libre sobre Costa Rica durante los eventos de El Niño, así como aspectos meteorológicos de mesoescala, ...
A Multivariate Regression Model Between the October Rainfall Anomalies in Central America and the Tropical Pacific and Atlantic Ocean
(1999-11)
Principal Component Analysis was used to identity common anomaly patterns amongst 72 rainfall gauge stations in Central America during October, in order to identify stations to from October Rainfall Indices. October was ...
Genetic diversity in Oryza glumaepatula wild rice populations in Costa Rica and possible gene flow from O. sativa
(2016-04-07)
Wild crop relatives are an important source of genetic diversity for crop improvement. Diversity estimates are generally lacking for many wild crop relatives. The objective of the present study was to analyze how genetic ...
Genetic contributions to circadian activity rhythm and sleep pattern phenotypes in pedigrees segregating for severe bipolar disorder
(2016-02-09)
Abnormalities in sleep and circadian rhythms are central features of bipolar disorder (BP), often persisting between episodes. We report here, to our knowledge, the first systematic analysis of circadian rhythm activity ...
Variabilidad interanual y estacional de la atmósfera libre sobre Costa Rica durante eventos de El Niño
(2001)
Con base en una técnica de composición de anomalías de los campos meteorológicos considerados, se diagnosticaron las principales alteraciones climáticas de la atmósfera libre sobre Costa Rica durante los eventos de El Niño, ...
Characterization of Expression Quantitative Trait Loci in Pedigrees from Colombia and Costa Rica Ascertained for Bipolar Disorder
(2016-05-13)
The observation that variants regulating gene expression (expression quantitative trait loci, eQTL) are at a high frequency among SNPs associated with complex traits has made the genome-wide characterization of gene ...
Hallazgos fenotípicos por imágenes con Tomografía Dental Volumétrica (TDV) en amelogénesis imperfecta
Use of Dental Volumetric Tomography for Dental Phenotyping In Amelogenesis Imperfecta
(2016)
Amelogénesis imperfecta (AI) se describe como un conjunto de defectos mendelianos en la biomineralización del esmalte dental, los cuales son severos en la mayoría de los casos al presentar anormalidades tales como un grosor ...
Phylogenetic reassessment of Specklinia and its allied genera in the pleurothallidinae (Orchidaceae)
(2016)
The phylogenetic relationships within Specklinia (Pleurothallidinae; Orchidaceae) and related genera are re-evaluated using Bayesian analyses of nrITS and chloroplast matK sequence data of a wide sampling of species. ...
