- Description
- Salmonella Enteritidis became the main serovar isolated from gastroenteritis cases in Brazil after the 90's. In this study we used whole genome sequence analysis to determine the phylogenetic relationships among a collection of strains isolated in...

- Description
- Scorpions have evolved a variety of toxins with a plethora of biological targets, but characterizing their evolution has been limited by the lack of a comprehensive phylogenetic hypothesis of scorpion relationships grounded in modern, genome-scale...

- Description
- Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been shown to be useful in revealing population structure with continental-and regional-scale samples. In epidemiological study, a careful selection of SNPs to track disease spread in local communities w...
