Characterization of demethylating DNA glycosylase ROS1 from Nicotiana tabacum L. by D. V. Petrova, N. V. Permyakova, I. R. Grin, D. O. Zharkov

“…One of the main mechanisms of epigenetic regulation in higher eukaryotes is based on the methylation of cytosine at the C5 position with the formation of 5-methylcytosine (mC), which is further recognized by regulatory proteins. In mammals, methylation mainly occurs in CG dinucleotides, while in plants it targets CG, CHG, and CHH sequences (H is any base but G). …”

Empirical Evidence for Various Evolutionary Hypotheses on Species Demonstrating Increasing Mortality with Increasing Chronological Age in the Wild by Giacinto Libertini

“…In particular, (1) the existence of many species with a constant, or almost constant, mortality rate, especially the so-called “animals with negligible senescence”; (2) the inverse correlation, observed in mammals and birds in the wild, between extrinsic mortality and the proportion of deaths due to intrinsic mortality; (3) the existence of highly sophisticated, genetically determined, and regulated mechanisms that limit and modulate cell duplication capacities and overall cell functionality. …”

MEIOSIS: HOW TO HALVE THE CHROMOSOME NUMBER by A. A. Torgasheva

“…This review presents the current notion of the major meiotic events by examples of yeast and mammals. Particular attention is paid to processes underlying chromosome synapsis and recombination, as well as monoorientation of sister kinetochores in the first division, the key features distinguishing meiosis from mitosis and ensuring chromosome number reduction.…”

Photoperiodic Programming of the SCN and Its Role in Photoperiodic Output by Michael C. Tackenberg, Douglas G. McMahon

“…Though the seasonal response of organisms to changing day lengths is a phenomenon that has been scientifically reported for nearly a century, significant questions remain about how photoperiod is encoded and effected neurobiologically. In mammals, early work identified the master circadian clock, the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN), as a tentative encoder of photoperiodic information. …”

Gopher Apple, Geobalanus oblongifolius Synonym: Licania michauxii by Debbie Miller, Mack Thetford, Chris Verlinde, Gabriel Campbell, Ashlynn Smith

“…Gopher apple gets its name because gopher tortoises, along with other small mammals, eat their fruit.
