Insectivorous bats provide ecosystem services in agricultural and urban landscapes by consuming arthropods that are considered pests. Bat species inhabiting cities expected to consume insects associated with areas, such as mosquitoes, flying termites, moths, beetles. We captured insectivorous the Federal District of Brazil used fecal DNA metabarcoding investigate arthropod consumed five bat living colonies city buildings, ascertained whether their predation was related services. These were...
Yerba mate (YM, Ilex paraguariensis ) is an economically important crop marketed for the elaboration of mate, third-most widely consumed caffeine-containing infusion worldwide. Here, we report first genome assembly this species, which has a total length 1.06 Gb and contains 53,390 protein-coding genes. Comparative analyses revealed that large YM size partly due to whole-genome duplication (Ip-α) during early evolutionary history , in addition hexaploidization event (γ) shared by core...
Latin America is one of the regions in which COVID-19 pandemic has a stronger impact, with more than 72 million reported infections and 1.6 deaths until June 2022. Since this region ecologically diverse affected by enormous social inequalities, efforts to identify genomic patterns circulating SARS-CoV-2 genotypes are necessary for suitable management pandemic. To contribute surveillance America, we extended number genomes available from sequencing analyzing viral genome patients seven...
<title>Abstract</title> Analyzing organellar genomes (plastomes and mitogenomes) is important for understanding evolution, cellular function, genetic diversity. Their stable mutation rates inheritance patterns make them valuable phylogenetic studies taxonomic delimitation approaches. Assembling considerably more straightforward than nuclear due to their smaller size simpler structure. To that end, existing tools like NOVOPlasty, GetOrganelle, MitoHifi can handle different sequencing data...
The order Siluriformes (catfish) is one of the largest groups fish. Diversity in body size among its species, which range from a few centimeters to 4 meters, makes an interesting group investigate evolution. Here, we present complete mitogenome Brachyplatystoma filamentosum (Piraíba), Amazonian catfish, explore evolutionary history and their dynamics. Piraíba's mtDNA 16,566 bp long, with GC content 42.21% D-loop 911 bp. Phylogenetic analysis was conducted using protein-coding sequences,...
Erythrolamprus carajasensis was originally described from the canga areas of Caraj&aacute;s region in state Par&aacute;, Brazil, and its distribution is restricted to type locality. The species exhibits morphological similarities E. almadensis , which has a parapatric distribution. In this study, we investigated taxonomic status using both molecular data. We generated mitochondrial gene sequences (12S rRNA 16S rRNA) for three specimens 11 compared them with available GenBank Bayesian...
Leishmaniasis is an infectious disease caused by Leishmania species. amazonensis a New World species belonging to the Mexicana complex, which able cause all types of leishmaniasis infections. The L. reference strain MHOM/BR/1973/M2269 was sequenced identifying 8,802 codifying sequences (CDS), most them hypothetical function. Comparative analysis using six showed core set 7,016 orthologs. and mexicana share largest number distinct orthologs, while braziliensis presented inparalogs....
Isoetes are ancient quillworts members of the only genus order Isoetales. The is slow evolving but resilient, and widespread worldwide. Two recently described species occur in Eastern Brazilian Amazon, serracarajensis cangae. They found ironstone grasslands known as Canga. While I. present mostly seasonal water bodies, cangae to a single permanent lake at South mountain range. In this work, we undertake an extensive morphological, physiological genetic characterization both establish...
Abstract The quillwort Isoëtes cangae is a critically endangered species occurring in single lake Serra dos Carajás, Eastern Amazon. Low genetic diversity and small effective population sizes ( N e ) are expected for narrow endemic (NES). Conservation biology studies centered show some limitations, but they still useful considering the limited time resources available protection of at risk extinction. Here, we evaluated diversity, structure, , minimum viable (MVP) I . to provide information...
Motivation Since the identification of novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), scientific community has made a huge effort to understand virus biology and develop vaccines. Next-generation sequencing strategies have been successful in understanding evolution infectious diseases as well facilitating development molecular diagnostics treatments. Thousands genomes are being generated weekly genetic characteristics this virus. Efficient pipelines needed analyze vast amount data generated. Here we...
Abstract The canga of the Serra dos Carajás, in Eastern Amazon, is home to a unique open plant community, harboring several endemic and rare species. Although complete flora survey has been recently published, scarce no genetic information available for most species ironstone outcrops Carajás. In this scenario, DNA barcoding appears as fast effective approach assess diversity Carajás flora, considering growing need robust biodiversity conservation planning such an area with industrial mining...
Taxonomic identification of plants and insects is a hard process that demands expert taxonomists time, it's often difficult to distinguish on morphology only. DNA barcodes allow rapid species discovery have been widely used for taxonomic by targeting known gene regions permit discriminate these species. barcode sequence analysis usually carried out with processes tools still demand high interaction the user or researcher. To reduce at most such interaction, we proposed PIPEBAR, pipeline...
Summary Accelerating microbial iron cycling is an innovative environmentally responsible strategy for mine remediation. In the present study, we extend application of in environmental remediation, to include biocementation aggregation and stabilization wastes. Microbial reduction was promoted monthly 10 months crushed canga (a by‐product from ore mining, dominated by crystalline oxides) 1 m 3 containers. Ferrous concentrations reached 445 ppm treatments diverse lineages candidate phyla...
Abstract Amazon comprises a vast variety of ecosystems, including savannah-like Canga barrens that evolved on iron-lateritic rock plateaus the Carajás Mountain range. Individual Cangas are enclosed by rain forest, indicating insular isolation enables speciation and plant community differentiation. To establish framework for research natural history conservation management endemic species, seven chloroplast DNA loci an ITS2 nuclear locus were used to study molecular variation red flowered...
After three years since the beginning of pandemic, new coronavirus continues to raise several questions regarding its infectious process and host response. Several mutations occurred in different regions
ABSTRACT Here, we report the draft genome sequence of “ Acidibacillus ferrooxidans ” strain ITV01, a ferrous iron- and sulfide-mineral-oxidizing, obligate heterotrophic, acidophilic bacterium affiliated with phylum Firmicutes . Strain ITV01 was isolated from neutral drainage low-grade chalcopyrite mine in northern Brazil.
Plants living above and around caves represent an important, albeit poorly studied, resource within cave ecosystems. The presence of plant material (root-like structures or rhizothemes, saplings, seeds, seedlings) correlates positively with the biodiversity dwelling animals as shown for iron-ore in Carajás, Pará, Brazil. Plant collected has proven to be difficult identify by traditional botanical methods, thus this research aims provide a qualitative insight into taxonomy morphology...

ABSTRACT Summary DNA metabarcoding is an emerging monitoring method capable of assessing biodiversity from environmental samples (eDNA). Advances in computational tools have been required due to the increase Next-Generation Sequencing data. Tools for analysis, such as MOTHUR, QIIME, Obitools, and mBRAVE widely used ecological studies. However, some difficulties are encountered when there a need use custom databases. Here we present PIMBA, PIpeline MetaBarcoding Analysis, which allows...
