Mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDP) are encoded by functional short open reading frames in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). These include humanin, and the recently discovered mitochondrial open reading frame of the 12S rRNA-c (MOTS-c). Although more research is needed, we suggest that the m.1382A>C polymorphism located in the MOTS-c encoding mtDNA, which is specific for the Northeast Asian popul...

This study revalidates Barbatula hispanica, previously considered a junior synonym of B. quignardi . species is found in the Ebro drainage and Cantabria (Spain) as well Adour (Southwestern France). It characterized by an upper lip with well-marked medial incision interorbital width 18.5–33.7% HL. The delineation corroborated cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 molecular marker. We provide sequence 12S...

For nearly 15 years now, environmental DNA has demonstrated its effectiveness in monitoring biodiversity. Methodological and technical improvements have significantly enhanced the field. However, effect of factors such as sequence coverage, bioinformatic filtration, primer choice been less explored or need to be optimized according specific survey objectives study site characteristics. We evalu...

The sequence of the 1173 nt 12S kinetoplast ribosomal RHA from TiPJ sfimarpa tarentolae was determined from the maxicircle DNA sequence, and the 5* and 3' ends localized by primer runoff and SI nuclease protection experiments. The gene was shown to be free of introns by SI nuclease analysis. A partial secondary structure model of the 12S RHA molecule is presented which is equivalent in certain ...
