The isolation and characterization of two Stenotrophomonas maltophilia bacteriophages capable of cross-taxonomic order infectivity
Download2015
Lynch, Karlene H.Stothard, Paul, Peters, Danielle L., Dennis, Jonathan J.
Background A rapid worldwide increase in the number of human infections caused by the extremely antibiotic resistant bacterium Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is prompting alarm. One potential treatment solution to the current antibiotic resistance dilemma is “phage therapy”, the clinical...

The mitochondrial genome of the hexactinellid sponge Aphrocallistes vastus: Evidence for programmed translational frameshifting
Download2008
Rosengarten, R.D., Sperling, E.A., Leys, S.P., Dellaporta, S.L., Moreno, M.A.
Background: Mitochondrial genomes (mtDNA) of numerous sponges have been sequenced as part of an ongoing effort to resolve the class-level phylogeny of the Porifera, as well as to place the various lower metazoan groups on the animal-kingdom tree. Most recently, the partial mtDNA of two glass...

Three species of Cretaceous marine squamates are described or redescribed. The first, Pontosaurus ribaguster is described from a relatively complete specimen discovered on Hvar Island, Croatia. Preservation of identifiable nektonic teleosts within the gastric cavity (the first identifiable...

The Paleobiology, Paleoecology, and Evolution of Thescelosauridae (Ornithischia) from Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2021
Thescelosauridae is a basal neornithischian dinosaur clade that flourished in the Cretaceous from the Aptian to the Maastrichtian. This diverse but poorly studied group of small-bodied herbivores is divided taxonomically into Orodrominae and Thescelosaurinae, and existed in Asia and North and...

Rachubinski, R.A., Fagarasanu, A., Mast, F.D.
Peroxisomes can import large multimeric protein complexes and even 9-nm gold particles decorated with peroxisome-targeting signals. They achieve these feats of protein passage using a distinctive translocon whose highly dynamic aqueous pore can expand to accommodate the increasing girths of...

The probable association of feather mites of the genus Ingrassia (Analgoidea: Xolalgidae) with the blue penguin Eudyptula minor (Aves: Sphenisciformes) in Australia.
Download2008
A new feather mite species, Ingrassia eudyptula n. sp. (Xolalgidae: Ingrassiinae), is described from the blue penguin Eudyptula minor (J. B. Forster, 1781) in Australia. This is the first description of a feather mite species from representatives of the avian order Sphenisciformes, which had...

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are considered the most deleterious DNA lesions. Unrepaired or incorrectly repaired DSBs can lead to cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, or over time, the accumulation of mutations and chromosomal abnormalities that give rise to cancer. The repair of DSBs by homologous...

The Role of Hydropteris pinnata gen. et. sp. nov. In Reconstructing the cladistics of Heterosporous Ferns.
Download1994
Large segments of intact plants that represent a heterosporous fern have been discovered within an aquatic plant community from the Late Cretaceous St. Mary River Formation near Cardston in southern Alberta, Canada. Branching rhizomes of Hydropteris pinnata gen. et sp. nov. are 1-2 mm wide. They...
