The functional divergence of duplicate genes (ohnologues) retained from whole genome duplication (WGD) is thought to promote evolutionary diversification. However, species radiation and phenotypic diversification are often temporally separated WGD. Salmonid fish, whose ancestor underwent WGD by autotetraploidization ~95 million years ago, fit such a ‘time-lag’ model post-WGD radiation, which occurred alongside major delay in the rediploidization process. Here we propose model,...

Neurocognitive impairment (NCI) remains common in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH), despite suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART), but the reasons remain incompletely understood. Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of aging and neurodegenerative diseases. We hypothesized that (HIV) or ART may lead to mitochondrial abnormalities brain, thus contributing NCI.

Abstract The functional divergence of duplicate genes (ohnologues) retained from whole genome duplication (WGD) is thought to promote evolutionary diversification. However, species radiation and phenotypic diversification often highly temporally-detached WGD. Salmonid fish, whose ancestor experienced WGD by autotetraploidization ~95 Ma (i.e. ‘Ss4R’), fit such a ‘time-lag’ model post-WGD radiation, which occurred alongside major delay in the rediploidization process. Here we propose called...

Abstract Aberrant mitochondrial function has been associated with an increasingly large number of human disease states. Observations from in vivo models where is altered suggest that adaptations to dysfunction may underpin pathology. We hypothesized the severity these maladaptations could be shaped by plasticity system when manifests. To investigate this, we have used inducible fly complex I (CI) reduce at two stages lifecycle, early development and adult eclosion. Here, show life...

ABSTRACT Mitochondrial disorders exhibit clinical and genetic diversity. Nearly 400 distinct genes, located in both the mitochondrial nuclear genomes, harbor pathogenic variants that can produce a broad spectrum of diseases. This work aims to explore etiology cohort Egyptian pediatric patients who were clinically suspected having disorder. A total 49 from 44 unrelated families studied. Selection criteria included age below 18 years meeting Morava (a score ≥ 3). The disease (MDC) have been...
