A SENSORY-MOTOR NEURON TYPE MEDIATES PROPRIOCEPTIVE COORDINATION OF STEERING IN C. ELEGANS VIA TWO TRPC CHANNELS.

A sensory-motor neuron type mediates proprioceptive coordination of steering in C. elegans via two TRPC channels.

Animal locomotion is mediated by a sensory system referred to as proprioception.Defects in the proprioceptive coordination of locomotion French Presses result in uncontrolled and inefficient movements.However, the molecular mechanisms underlying proprioception are not fully understood.Here, we identify two transient receptor potential cation (TRPC)

Population genetics and molecular xenomonitoring of Biomphalaria freshwater snails along the southern shoreline of Lake Malawi, Malawi

Abstract Background Intestinal schistosomiasis was confirmed endemic in Mangochi District, Malawi, in May of 2018 following an unexpected encounter with discreet populations of Biomphalaria spp.freshwater snails during routine malacological surveillance activities.Since then, only limited malacological surveillance of Biomphalaria has been carried

Genes divided according to the relative position of the longest intron show increased representation in different KEGG pathways

Abstract Despite the fact that introns mean an energy and time burden for eukaryotic cells, they play an irreplaceable role in the diversification and regulation of protein production.As a common feature of eukaryotic genomes, it has been reported that in protein-coding genes, the longest intron is usually one of the first introns.The goal of our w
