Resumen
La hipótesis de la víspera de la malaria sugiere un cuello de botella reciente para Plasmodium falciparum. Nuestro estudio revela un origen antiguo, lo que indica un parásito genéticamente complejo que desafía los esfuerzos de control de la malaria.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Genética La genética.
- Biología evolutiva Biología evolutiva.
- Parasitología Parasitología.
Sus antecedentes:
- La hipótesis de la víspera de la malaria plantea un cuello de botella poblacional reciente y grave para Plasmodium falciparum, el parásito de la malaria humana, lo que sugiere una estructura de población homogénea.
- Esta hipótesis contrasta con otros estudios que indican un origen antiguo y un gran tamaño efectivo de la población para P. falciparum.
- El debate impacta las estrategias para el control de la malaria, ya que la homogeneidad podría favorecer ciertas intervenciones.

02:31Synteny and Evolution
3.0K
John H. Renwick first coined the term “synteny” in 1971, which refers to the genes present on the same chromosomes, even if they are not genetically linked. The species with common ancestry tend to show conserved syntenic regions. Therefore, the concept of synteny is nowadays used to describe the evolutionary relationship between species.
Around 80 million years ago, the human and mice lineages diverged from the common ancestor. During the course of evolution, the ancestral...

02:26Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs
11.6K
Sequencing of the human genome has opened up several best-kept secrets of the genome. Scientists have identified thousands of genome variations that exist within a population. These variations can be a single nucleotide or a larger chromosomal variation.
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...

01:05Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs
14.8K
A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

12.7K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Alveolates are a group of organisms recognized by the presence of alveoli, which are cytoplasmic sacs located beneath the cell membrane. While their function remains uncertain, alveoli may help regulate water balance by controlling how much water enters and leaves the cell. In dinoflagellates, these structures may serve as armor plates. There are three major types of alveolates: ciliates, which move using cilia; dinoflagellates, which use flagella for movement; and apicomplexans, which are...
