Chromobacterium violaceum is one of millions species free-living microorganisms that populate the soil and water in extant areas tropical biodiversity around world. Its complete genome sequence reveals ( i ) extensive alternative pathways for energy generation, ii ≈500 ORFs transport-related proteins, iii complex systems stress adaptation motility, iv widespread utilization quorum sensing control inducible systems, all which underpin versatility adaptability organism. The also contains but...
Anopheles darlingi is the principal neotropical malaria vector, responsible for more than a million cases of per year on American continent. diverged from African and Asian vectors ∼100 years ago (mya) successfully adapted to New World environment. Here we present an annotated reference A. genome, sequenced wild population males females collected in Brazilian Amazon. A total 10 481 predicted protein-coding genes were annotated, 72% which have their closest counterpart gambiae 21% highest...
Nannostomus is comprised of 20 species. Popularly known as pencilfishes the vast majority these species lives in flooded forests Amazon basin and are popular ornamental trade. Among lebiasinids, it only genus to have undergone more than one taxonomic revision. Even so, still possesses poorly defined Here, we report results an application DNA barcoding identification highlight deeply divergent clades within four nominal We surveyed sequence variation mtDNA cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene...
DNA barcoding can be an effective tool for fast and accurate species-level identification based on sequencing of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit (COI) gene. The diversity this fragment used to estimate richness respective species. In study, we explored use in a group ornamental freshwater fish genus Hyphessobrycon. We sequenced COI from 10 species Hyphessobrycon belonging "Rosy Tetra Clade" collected Amazon Negro River basins combined our results with published data. average...

Pimelodus is the most speciose genus of family Pimelodidae, and amply distributed in Neotropical region. The species-level taxonomy phylogenetic relationships within this are still poorly resolved, however. These taxonomic problems general lack data have generated major uncertainties with regard to identification specimens from different localities. In present study, we applied a single-locus species delimitation approach identify MOTUs found provide sound evidence for evaluation richness...
Brachyplatystoma platynemum is a catfish species widely distributed in the Amazon basin. Despite being considered of little commercial interest, decline other fish populations has contributed to increase catches this species. The structure, population genetic variability, and evolutionary process that have driven diversification are presently unknown. Considering that, order better understand structure species, we analyzed individuals from seven locations basin using eight molecular markers:...
The Amazonian native tree species Parkia multijuga has potential silvicultural characteristics that can be utilized to productive plantations. Understanding its mating system is necessary delineate the methods for breeding of species, collection seeds conservation, and use seedlings production aim this study evaluate population genetic diversity P. multijuga, using molecular markers. DNA 221 plants was extracted genotyped with nine microsatellite loci capillary electrophoresis in an...
Abstract The fish fauna of the Tocantins River possesses many endemic species; however, it is little studied in molecular terms and quite threatened by construction several hydroelectric dams. Therefore, objective this study was to identify ichthyofauna using DNA barcoding. For this, collections were carried out five points river, which resulted capture 725 individuals from partial sequences cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene obtained for genetic analysis. A total 443 haplotypes...
• Premise of the study: Microsatellite loci were developed for tucumã Amazonas ( Astrocaryum aculeatum ), and cross‐species amplification was performed in six other Arecaceae, to investigate genetic diversity population structure provide support natural populations management. Methods Results: Fourteen microsatellite isolated from a microsatellite‐enriched genomic library used characterize two wild (Manaus Manicoré cities). The investigated displayed high polymorphism both A. populations,...
Astrocaryum jauari is a non-domesticated palm that exploited by poachers. Our objective was to investigate the organization of geneticdiversity and structure three A. populations. The study carried out in state Amazonas, between municipalities Coari Manaus. Nine microsatellite loci were used for genetic analyses. High variation found, with mean number alleles per locus varying from 3.9 4.4. average observed heterozygosity, 0.71 0.78, higher than expected. No spatial detected, since only one...
Introduction Leishmaniasis continues to pose a substantial health burden in 97 countries worldwide. The progression and outcome of Leishmania infection are influenced by various factors, including the cytokine milieu, skin microbiota at site, specific species involved, genetic background host, parasite load. In endemic regions leishmaniasis, only fraction individuals infected actually develops disease. Overexpression IL-13 naturally resistant C57BL/6 mice renders them susceptible L. major...
In order to test the congruence of genetic data morphologically defined Neotropical catfish genera Tympanopleura and Ageneiosus explore species diversity, we generated 17 DNA barcodes from five six 12 13 Ageneiosus. To discriminate limits between species, an automatic barcode gap discovery (ABGD), a generalised mixed yule-coalescent model (GYMC) fixed distance thresholds Kimura two-parameter (K2P; 3%) were used putative barcodes. The ABGD, GMYC K2P methods agreed by each generating clusters:...
ABSTRACT The migratory catfish Brachyplatystoma vaillantii is one of the most important fishery resources in Amazon. Intense capture occurs associated to its life cycle. In order know genetic status, we sequenced mitochondrial DNA control region from 150 individuals B. vaillantii, collected five fishing landing locations, covering length Solimões-Amazonas River Brazil. Genetic diversity parameters suggest there no differentiation between localities. Population’s expansion indicated by R 2...
