Abstract Emerging hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been sequentially reported in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) treated with direct‐acting antivirals (DAAs). Homeobox transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR), an oncogene, has been reported to be associated with cancer. We investigated the predictive value of lnc‐HOTAIR for HCC surveillance in chronic HCV patients following DAAs therapy. The expression levels of lnc‐HOTAIR and ATG‐7 genes were measured in 220 with chronic HCV, following a DAAs based...

Species may persist through the unprecedented changes in global conditions using genetic adaptation or physiological plasticity. However, few empirical studies have revealed the relationship between adaptation and plasticity or addressed the long-standing debate on whether plasticity impedes or facilitates adaptive evolution. Here, we used experimental evolution and reciprocal transplantation of the marine coastal copepod, Acartia tonsa, to present-day and future greenhouse conditions (high temperature,...
By altering gene expression and creating paralogs, genomic amplifications represent a key component of short-term adaptive processes. In insects, the use of insecticides can select gene amplifications causing an increased expression of detoxification enzymes, supporting the usefulness of these DNA markers for monitoring the dynamics of resistance alleles in the field. In this context, the present study aims to characterise a genomic amplification event associated with resistance to organophosphate...
Vertebrates evolved mechanisms for sodium conservation and gas exchange in conjunction with migration from aquatic to terrestrial habitats. Epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) function is critical to systems responsible for extracellular fluid homeostasis and gas exchange. ENaC is activated by cleavage at multiple specific extracellular polybasic sites, releasing inhibitory tracts from the channel's and {gamma} subunits. We found that proximal and distal polybasic tracts in ENaC subunits coevolved, consistent...
The success of antimicrobial treatment is threatened by the evolution of drug resistance. Population genetic models are an important tool in mitigating that threat. However, most such models consider resistance emergence via a single mutational step. Here, we assembled experimental evidence that drug resistance evolution follows two patterns: i) a single mutation, which provides a large MIC increase, or ii) multiple mutations, each conferring a small increase, which combine to yield high-level resistance....
Coronaviruses are highly pathogenic and therefore important human and veterinary pathogens viruses worldwide. Members of family Coronaviridae have previously been analysed phylogenetically, resulting in proposals of virus interrelationships. However, available Coronavirus phylogenies remain unrooted, based on limited sampling, and normally depend on a single method. The main subjects of this study are the taxonomy and systematics of coronaviruses and our goal is to build the first natural classification...
In 1995, Pleijel raised an issue on the coding of complex (multistate) characters: to find a unique coding approach satisfying both informational and semantical criteria. Following Pleijel's work, this study aims to propose a new answer to this problematic. We proposed here to use hierarchical characters instead of classical partitional ones as hierarchy allows to deal effectively with the different uncertainties met by phylogeneticists since the beginning of phylogenetic data matrices: missing data,...
The study of South American camelids and their domestication is a highly debated topic in zooarchaeology. Identifying domestic species (alpaca and llama) in archaeological sites based on morphometry is challenging because of similarity with respect to their wild ancestors. In this study, we generated mitogenomes for 61 ancient camelids dated between 3,500 - 2,400 years BP (Early Formative period) from two archaeological sites in Northern Chile (Tulan 54 and 85), as well as 66 modern camelid mitogenomes...
The effectiveness of selection varies among species. It is often estimated by means of an "effective population size" based on neutral polymorphism, but this is confounded in complex ways with demography. The strength of codon bias more directly pertains to how well adaptation at many sites can be maintained in the face of deleterious mutations, but past metrics that compare codon bias across species are confounded by among-species variation in %GC content and/or amino acid composition. Here we propose...

Stem cells are tightly controlled in vivo. Both the balance between self-renewal and differentiation and the rate of proliferation are often regulated by multiple factors. The Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodite germ line provides a simple and accessible system for studying stem cells in vivo. In this system, GLP-1/Notch activity prevents the differentiation of distal germ cells in response to ligand production from the nearby distal tip cell, thereby supporting a stem cell pool. However, a delay...
