Diversity of environmental single-stranded DNA phages revealed by PCR amplification of the partial major capsid protein

Max Hopkins, Shweta Kailasan, Allison Cohen, Simon Roux et autres

The small single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) bacteriophages of the subfamily Gokushovirinae were traditionally perceived as narrowly targeted, niche-specific viruses infecting obligate parasitic bacteria, such as Chlamydia. The advent of metagenomics revealed gokushoviruses to be widespread in global environmental samples. This study expands knowledge …

Low genetic diversity and minimal population substructure in the endangered Florida manatee: implications for conservation

Kimberly Pause Tucker, Margaret E. Hunter, Robert K. Bonde, James D. Austin et autres

Species of management concern that have been affected by human activities typically are characterized by low genetic diversity, which can adversely affect their ability to adapt to environmental changes. We used 18 microsatellite markers to genotype 362 Florida manatees (Trichechus manatus latirostris), …
