Arsenic exposure may contribute to disease risk in humans through alterations in the epigenome. Previous studies reported that arsenic exposure is associated with changes in plasma histone concentrations. Posttranslational histone modifications have been found to differ between the brain tissue of h...

Core Ideas Row spacing narrower than 30-inches increases corn yield under high yielding conditions. Overall, the optimum plant population does not vary with changes to row spacing. Narrow row spacing tolerates plant density stress and, thereby, respond with increased yield. Corn (Zea mays L.) plante...

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is an important vector-borne disease caused by Leishmania donovani in the Indian subcontinent. The actual incidence and role of asymptomatic infections in the region are not well known. We used the direct agglutination test (DAT) and the rK39 ELISA as L. donovani infectio...

Catla catla (Hamilton) fertilised spawn was collected from the Halda, Jamuna and Padma rivers in Bangladesh from which approximately 900 individuals were retained as ‘candidate founders’ of a breeding population. These fish were fin-clipped and genotyped using the DArTseq platform to obtain, 3048 si...

The avian seminal fluid (SF) is a protein-rich fluid, derived from the testis, the rudimentary epididymis and, finally, from the cloacal gland. The SF interacts with spermatozoa and the inner cell lining of the female genital tract, to modulate sperm functions and female immune responsiveness. Its c...
