DIVERGENCE IN GUT BACTERIAL COMMUNITY AMONG LIFE STAGES OF THE RAINBOW STAG BEETLE PHALACROGNATHUS MUELLERI (COLEPTERA: LUCANIDAE)

Divergence in Gut Bacterial Community Among Life Stages of the Rainbow Stag Beetle Phalacrognathus muelleri (Coleptera: Lucanidae)

Although stag beetles are popular saprophytic insects, there are few studies about their gut bacterial community.This study focused on korpskaft the gut bacterial community structure of the rainbow stag beetle (i.e., Phalacrognathus muelleri) in its larvae (three instars) and adult stages, using high throughput sequencing (Illumina Miseq).Our aim w

Cost-Constrained feature selection in binary classification: adaptations for greedy forward selection and genetic algorithms

Abstract Background With modern methods in biotechnology, the search for biomarkers has advanced to a challenging statistical task exploring high dimensional data sets.Feature selection is a widely researched preprocessing step to handle huge numbers of biomarker candidates and has special importance for the analysis of biomedical data.Such data se

X Chromosome Crossover Formation and Genome Stability in Caenorhabditis elegans Are Independently Regulated by xnd-1

The germ line efficiently combats numerous genotoxic insults to ensure the high fidelity propagation of unaltered genomic information across generations.Yet, germ cells in most metazoans also intentionally create double-strand breaks (DSBs) to promote DNA moondrop quarks exchange between parental chromosomes, a process known as crossing over.Homolo
