The subordinate role of pseudogenization to recombinative deletion following polyploidization in angiosperms by Ewout Crombez, Yves Van de Peer, Zhen Li

“…Our findings imply that gene loss post-polyploidization primarily takes place via DNA deletion, enabled by a genomic environment with an elevated recombination rate created by WGMs. In contrast, small-scale duplications yield scattered duplicated genes, which appear less exposed to deletion and hence result in a high number of pseudogenes. …”

Molecular Evidence of High Proportion of Plasmodium vivax Malaria Infection in White Nile Area in Sudan by Makarim M. Adam Suliman, Bushra M. Hamad, Musab M. Ali Albasheer, Maytha Elhadi, Mutaz Amin Mustafa, Maha Elobied, Muzamil Mahdi Abdel Hamid

“…We found that on average 20% and 36.5% of malaria infections in both study areas were caused by P. vivax using both microscopy and PCR, respectively. This change in pattern is likely due to the recent demographic changes and high rate of immigration from neighbouring countries in the recent years. …”

Warming leads to both earlier and later snowmelt floods over the past 70 years by Yuhan Guo, Yuting Yang, Dawen Yang, Lu Zhang, Hongxing Zheng, Jinghua Xiong, Fangzheng Ruan, Juntai Han, Ziwei Liu

“…Using streamflow observations from 1950–2020 and an event-based analysis that distinguishes flood-generating mechanisms across 2339 Northern Hemisphere, snow-affected catchments, we show that the earlier snowmelt effect can be substantially offset or even reversed by a decelerated snowmelt rate under warming. This results in delayed snowmelt floods in approximately 30% of the catchments, contributing to an overall minor shift on a hemispheric scale (−0.87 ± 2.4 days per decade). …”
