Mantamonads were long considered to represent an "orphan" lineage in the tree of eukaryotes, likely branching near most frequently assumed position for root eukaryotes. Recent phylogenomic analyses have placed them as part "CRuMs" supergroup, along with collodictyonids and rigifilids. This supergroup appears branch at base Amorphea, making it special importance understanding deep evolutionary history However, lack representative species complete genomic data associated has hampered...
ABSTRACT The Canadian province of Alberta contains substantial oilsands reservoirs, consisting bitumen, clay and sand. Extracting oil involves separating bitumen from inorganic particles using hot water chemical diluents, resulting in liquid tailings waste with ecotoxicologically significant compounds. Ongoing efforts aim to reclaim tailings‐affected areas, protist colonisation serving as one assessment method reclamation progress. Oilsands‐associated communities have mainly been evaluated...
Unequal utilization of synonymous codons is a well-known phenomenon among living organisms. This plays major role in the enhancement accuracy and efficiency translation. Gymnosperms are rarely paid attention this aspect. Understanding degree determining forces influencing codon usage bias (CUB) Taxus contorta, an endangered Himalayan gymnosperm, will prove useful interpreting evolutionary characteristics species. Using RNAseq data, 93 790 assembled transcripts were clustered into 32 701...
Osmoregulation is the homeostatic mechanism essential for survival of organisms in hypoosmotic and hyperosmotic conditions. In fresh-water or soil dwelling protists this frequently achieved through action an osmoregulatory organelle, contractile vacuole. This endomembrane organelle responds to osmotic challenges compensates by collecting expelling excess water maintain cellular osmolarity. As compared with other organelles, underappreciated under studied. Here we review reported presence...
Rajasthan lies on the northwest border of India, and has acted as a major route for human movements since prehistoric historic times. The present study was conducted to gain an insight into inter-and intrapopulation affinities or variations among six population groups Rajasthan. DNA samples from 221 unrelated individuals belonging endogamous Rajasthan, including both tribal (Bhil, Damaria, Garasia, Mina Saharia) caste populations (Rajput) were screened 12 (seven Alu indel five RFLP) markers....
Protists in the phylum Ciliophora possess a complex membrane-trafficking system, including osmoregulatory Contractile Vacuoles and specialized secretory organelles. Molecular cell biological investigations Tetrahymena thermophila have identified components of protein machinery associated with organelles, mucocysts. The Qa-SNARE Syn7lp plays role mucocyst biogenesis as do subunits CORVET tethering (specifically Vps8). Indeed, possesses expanded gene complements several components, Vps33 which...
The spirotrichean ciliate Stylonychia notophora has previously been recorded in India although the descriptions are lacking detail. It suggested several times that Indian population, S. sensu Sapra and Dass, 1970 collected along Delhi stretch of River Yamuna, is identical to Tetmemena pustulata, but this never confirmed due insufficient data for former. present study includes detailed (classical molecular) populations isolated from six locations India. These include four including which...
Dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2) is expressed in the central nervous system and has a high affinity for many antipsychotic drugs. Besides several epidemiological investigations on association of DRD2 locus polymorphism(s) with neuropsychiatric problems addictive behavior, few polymorphisms this have also been used to understand genomic diversity population migratory histories globally. The present study attempts diversity/affinity among four endogamous groups Andhra Pradesh (India) against...
Abstract The evolution of Gnetales is ambiguous, and their phylogenetic position still debated. biological molecular processes may evolve with the evolutionary history a species or clade. molecular/biological phylogenetically similar lineages closely follow pattern. If evolved as sister to Pinaceae, cupressophytes Coniferales whole, then it expected that reflect this pattern evolution. In light this, we deciphered codon usage Gnetales, compared angiosperms, whole. We evaluated whether...

The studies on surnames give information regarding origin, migration, evolution and variation within between populations. Lasker (1988) noted that the distribution of reflects effect mate choice a population’s genetic structure. present study surname repetition is done with aim assessing homogeneity/heterogeneity among Kolam (primitive tribe), Koya (tribal group) Kuruma (Caste population groups Andhra Pradesh. Repeated-Pair (RP) value found to be very high as compared random (RPr) in all...
<sec> <title>UNSTRUCTURED</title> In the wake of COVID-19 there has been a large increase data being generated globally. Basic elements data, such as incidence, prevalence, and mortality, have already aggregated to form various dashboard illustrating spread across world. However, it is important consider not only rate trajectory virus’s proliferation, but how countries responded outbreak effects their responses. The SMAART RAPID Tracker integrates information about fatality rates disease,...
ABSTRACT Abnormal menstrual bleeding (AMB) is a common gynecological complaint. It may have serious repercussions on women's quality of life. Most the studies abnormal focus quantity blood loss with little emphasis effect, it has Recent research in area recognized importance ‘patient experience’ as an outcome that should be measured. So, very important to know about perception problem so healthcare professional can provide them appropriate care. The present study was undertaken assess effect...
Aim: To assess regional disparity in the screen time and physical activity pattern of school children (11-17 years) from Punjab (India).
 Study Design: A school-based cross sectional survey.
 Place Duration Study: Government schools three regions Punjab, namely, Majha, Doaba Malwa region, between June to December 2015.
 Methodology: survey was conducted including 1050 children, randomly selected government Majha (n=210), (n=210) (n=630), obtain information on their (school...
The aims of this study were to assess regional disparity in anemic status and identify the sociodemographic factors associated with prevalence anemia among school-children from Punjab, India. A school-based cross-sectional was conducted on 210 children (11-17y) randomly selected government schools three regions namely Majha (n=45), Doaba (n=45) Malwa (n=120). Data characteristics dietary intake collected through questionnaire based survey. Information clinical signs/symptoms compliance...
Ciliated protists have attracted wide interest among researchers from the Indian subcontinent in last few years. An International Symposium on Ciliate Biology (ISCB) 2018 was held 04-06 April at India Habitat Centre, New Delhi, India. The symposium represented a synergy with Research Coordination Network for Biodiversity of Ciliates (IRCN-BC), an affiliate society Society Protistologists (ISOP). provided platform and delegates to exchange knowledge, present their latest research findings,...
Objective- India has seen a rapid rise in COVID-19 cases. Examine spatiotemporal variation of burden Tracker across Indian states and union territories using SMAART RAPID Tracker.
