Journal ArticleDOI
Turtle Insights into the Evolution of the Reptilian Karyotype and the Genomic Architecture of Sex Determination
Basanta Bista,Nicole Valenzuela +1 more
TL;DR: All data indicate that turtles follow some tenets of classic theoretical models of sex chromosome evolution while countering others, and this gap is rapidly decreasing with the acceleration of ongoing research and growing genomic resources in this group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Putative Independent Evolutionary Reversals from Genotypic to Temperature-Dependent Sex Determination are Associated with Accelerated Evolution of Sex-Determining Genes in Turtles
TL;DR: The data show that sex-linked genes do not follow a ubiquitous nor uniform pattern of molecular evolution, and hormone signaling genes, and Srd5a1 in particular, evolve faster in many lineages and especially in turtles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermosensitive sex chromosome dosage compensation in ZZ/ZW softshell turtles, Apalone spinifera.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared RNA-seq expression of Z-genes, their autosomal orthologues, and control autosomal genes in Apalone spinifera (ZZ/ZW) and Chrysemys picta turtles with temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD).
Journal ArticleDOI
Karyotypic Evolution of Sauropsid Vertebrates Illuminated by Optical and Physical Mapping of the Painted Turtle and Slider Turtle Genomes.
Ling Sze Lee,Beatriz Navarro-Domínguez,Zhiqiang Wu,Eugenia E. Montiel,Daleen Badenhorst,Basanta Bista,Thea B Gessler,Nicole Valenzuela +7 more
TL;DR: Results revealed a mostly one-to-one correspondence between chromosomes of painted and slider turtles, and high homology among large syntenic blocks shared with other turtles and sauropsids, and numerous chromosomal rearrangements were also evident across chelonians, between turtles and squamates, and between avian and non-avian reptiles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation of Arsenic Resistant Escherichia coli from Sewage Water and Its Potential in Arsenic Biotransformation
Basanta Bista,Sangita Shakya +1 more
TL;DR: Arsenic resistant E. coli was successfully isolated which could survive in high concentration of arsenic and was able to transform arsenate to arsenite, which has a lot of potential in microbial remediation or microbial recovery of metals and possible recombination approaches.
