TL;DR: Of these genes, BCL2L1 is a strong candidate for driving culture adaptation of ES cells, and single-nucleotide polymorphism analysis revealed that they included representatives of most major ethnic groups.

TL;DR: It is shown that XCI is random in human placenta, and that this organ is arranged in relatively large patches of cells with either maternal or paternal inactive X, which combined with the extensive mosaicism found in placente can explain the lack of agreement among previous studies.

TL;DR: A high-throughput targeted proteomics assay to detect SARS-CoV-2 nucleoprotein peptides directly from nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeals swabs that has high sample stability and should be considered as an option for Sars-Cov-2 testing in large populations.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that syphilis seems to have emerged in this time span, since the resulting evolutionary rate is compatible with those observed in other bacteria.

TL;DR: The derivation and characterization of a line of hES cells from the Brazilian population, named BR-1, in commercial defined medium and its genomic ancestry and HLA-profile are described, highlighting the challenges involved in hES cell banking for populations with a high degree of ethnic admixture.
