DEVELOPMENT OF A SET OF MICROSATELLITE MARKERS TO INVESTIGATE SEXUALLY ANTAGONISTIC SELECTION IN THE INVASIVE ANT NYLANDERIA FULVA

Development of a Set of Microsatellite Markers to Investigate Sexually Antagonistic Selection in the Invasive Ant Nylanderia fulva

Sexually antagonistic selection (SAS) occurs when distinct alleles are differentially selected in each sex.In the invasive tawny crazy ant, read more Nylanderia fulva, a genomic region is under SAS, while the rest of the genome is randomly selected in males and females.In this study, we designed a suite of 15 microsatellite markers to study the ori

Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery associated with an aortopulmonary window

Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery (RCA) from the pulmonary artery is a rare entity that causes chronic left-to-right shunting of blood from the RCA, through the coronary collaterals into the pulmonary artery.This results in persistent myocardial ischemia and ventricular dysfunction.Association of this anomaly with an aortopulmonary att
