Development and validation of a new multiplex for upgrading Y-STRs population databases from 12 to 23 markers and its forensic casework application.
(Nature, 2022-12)Y chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) are used in forensic investigations as a useful complementary tool to autosomal markers. The ongoing development of new kits with an increasing number of markers makes it necessary ... -
Development of an alginate/TiO2-based microfluidic biosystem for chrono-sampling and sensing of glucose in artificial sweat
(Elsevier, 2023-05)Glucose is an analyte of great importance, both in the clinical and sports fields. As an alternative to standard blood analysis, sweat arises as an easily accessible, non-invasive biofluid, as well as a great candidate to ... -
Development of new analytical tools for verifying the geographical origin of farmed Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis)
(2023-01-27)Market globalization and the growing demand for seafood products are contributing to increase supply chains¿ complexity, making traceability efforts an incredibly challenging task. Under such circumstances, there is a ... -
Development of practical methodology and indicators for on-farm animal welfare assessment
(2015-05-29)Work described in the doctoral thesis entitled ¿Development of practical methodology and indicators for on-farm animal welfare assessment¿ was conducted within the frame of Work Package 1 of the AWIN project by Joanna ... -
Diagenetic research of factors influencing the performance of biomolecular investigations of human skeletal remains from Spanish Civil War graves.
(2023-03-09)During the Spanish Civil War and the posterior dictatorship, a huge number of people disappeared during the war or in episodes of repression. A large number of victims remain unidentified. One of the main limitations of ... -
Diet and prey selection by snow leopards in the Nepalese Himalayas
(Public Library Science, 2018-12-05)Visual attractiveness and rarity often results in large carnivores being adopted as flagship species for stimulating conservation awareness. Their hunting behaviour and prey selection can affect the population dynamics of ... -
Different Evolutionary History for Basque Diaspora Populations in USA and Argentina Unveiled by Mitochondrial DNA Analysis
(Public Library Science, 2015-12-14)The Basque Diaspora in Western USA and Argentina represents two populations which have maintained strong Basque cultural and social roots in a completely different geographic context. Hence, they provide an exceptional ... -
Differential tissue development compromising the growth rate and physiological performances of mussel
(Elsevier, 2022-09)Differences in the food acquisition rates and in the energetic costs of metabolism seem to affect the growth rate variability of mussels. The aim of this study was to analyze if the physiological performances responsible ... -
Distinct Correlations Between Lipogenic Gene Expression and Fatty Acid Composition of Subcutaneous Fat Among Cattle Breeds
(Biomed Central, 2018-05-23)Background: The fatty acid (FA) composition of adipose tissue influences the nutritional quality of meat products. The unsaturation level of FAs is determined by fatty acid desaturases such as stearoyl- CoA desaturases ... -
DNA Damage and Transcriptional Changes in the Gills of Mytilus galloprovincialis Exposed to Nanomolar Doses of Combined Metal Salts (Cd, Cu, Hg)
(PloS ONE, 2013)[ENG]Aiming at an integrated and mechanistic view of the early biological effects of selected metals in the marine sentinel organism Mytilus galloprovincialis, we exposed mussels for 48 hours to 50, 100 and 200 nM solutions ... -
DNA metabarcoding and spatial modelling link diet diversification with distribution homogeneity in European bats
(Nature, 2020-03-02)Inferences of the interactions between species' ecological niches and spatial distribution have been historically based on simple metrics such as low-resolution dietary breadth and range size, which might have impeded the ... -
DNA metabarcoding derived biotic indices for marine monitoring and assessment
(2017-02-17)La Directiva Marco del Agua y la Directiva Marco de la Estrategia Marina tienen como principal objetivo proteger y restaurar los ecosistemas acuáticos, para lo cual es necesario evaluar el estado ecológico de una manera ... -
DNA methylation epigenotypes in breast cancer molecular subtypes
(BioMed Central, 2010-09-29)Introduction: Identification of gene expression-based breast cancer subtypes is considered a critical means of prognostication. Genetic mutations along with epigenetic alterations contribute to gene-expression changes ... -
Duplication and subfunctionalisation of the general transcription factor IIIA (gtf3a) gene in teleost genomes, with ovarian specific transcription of gtf3ab
(Public Library Science, 2020-01-30)Fish oogenesis is characterised by a massive growth of oocytes each reproductive season. This growth requires the stockpiling of certain molecules, such as ribosomal RNAs to assist the rapid ribosomal assembly and protein ... -
