Novel Sulfolobus Virus with an Exceptional Capsid Architecture
(2017)
A novel archaeal virus, denoted Sulfolobus ellipsoid virus 1 (SEV1), was isolated from an acidic hot spring in Costa Rica. The morphologically unique virion of SEV1 contains a protein capsid with 16 regularly spaced ...
A genome‐wide quantitative trait locus (QTL) linkage scan of NEO personality factors in Latino families segregating bipolar disorder
(2017)
Personality traits have been suggested as potential endophenotypes for Bipolar Disorder (BP), as they can be quantitatively measured and show correlations with BP. The present study utilized data from 2,745 individuals ...
Deletion of amelotin exons 3–6 is associated with amelogenesis imperfecta
(2016-07-12)
Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a heterogeneous group of genetic conditions that result in defective dental enamel formation. Amelotin (AMTN) is a secreted protein thought to act as a promoter of matrix mineralization in ...
Identification of circadian gene variants in bipolar disorder in Latino populations
(2015)
Background:
Variations in circadian genes can impact biological rhythms. Given the rhythm disturbances that characterize bipolar disorder (BD), genes encoding components of molecular clocks are good candidate genes for ...
Caracterización de productores de hortalizas orgánicas distribuidas en la Gran Área Metropolitana (GAM), Costa Rica
Characterization of the producers of organic vegetables distributed in the Greater Metropolitan Area (GAM), Costa Rica
(2015)
Para caracterizar la población de productores que distribuyen hortalizas orgánicas en la Gran Área Metropolitana (GAM) de Costa Rica, se aplicó una encuesta semi-estructurada a 30 de ellos, ubicados en distintos puntos de ...
A microbial consortium from a biomixture swiftly degrades high concentrations of carbofuran in fluidized-bed reactors
(2016)
An on-farm biopurification system (BPS) biomixture, with proven capacity to degrade carbofuran (CBF) was used as inoculum for a selective-enrichment process to obtain a bacterial consortium capable of using CBF as a sole ...
Substance use disorder comorbidity with schizophrenia in families of Mexican and Central American Ancestry
(Schizophrenia Research 120 (2010) 87–94, 2010)
Objectives:The aims of this study were to estimate the frequency and course of substances use disorders in Latino patients with schizophrenia and to ascertain risk factors associated with substance use disorders in this ...
Genetic contributions to circadian activity rhythm and sleep pattern phenotypes in pedigrees segregating for severe bipolar disorder
(2016-02-09)
Abnormalities in sleep and circadian rhythms are central features of bipolar disorder (BP), often persisting between episodes. We report here, to our knowledge, the first systematic analysis of circadian rhythm activity ...
Population Genetic Analysis of Streptomyces albidoflavus Reveals Habitat Barriers to Homologous Recombination in the Diversification of Streptomycetes
(2015)
Examining the population structure and the influence of recombination and ecology on microbial populations makes great sense for understanding microbial evolution and speciation. Streptomycetes are a diverse group of ...
Comparación de dos métódos de preparación de tejido para estudiar la anatomía interna del delfácido Tagosodes orizicolus con microscopia de luz y electrónica
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 1997)
Two methods of embedding, sectioning and staining were developed to study the intemal anatomy of the delphacid planthopper Tagosodes orizicolus, one of the most important plagues of rice in Latín America and the only vector ...
