GENETIC STRUCTURE AND CONNECTIVITY OF THE RED MANGROVE AT DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHIC SCALES THROUGH A COMPLEX TRANSVERSE HYDROLOGICAL SYSTEM FROM FRESHWATER TO MARINE ECOSYSTEMS

Genetic Structure and Connectivity of the Red Mangrove at Different Geographic Scales through a Complex Transverse Hydrological System from Freshwater to Marine Ecosystems

Mangrove forests are ecologically and economically valuable resources composed of trees morphologically and physiologically adapted to thrive across a range of habitats.Although, mangrove trees have high dispersion capacity, complexity of hydrological systems may lead to a fine-scale genetic structure (FSGS).The Transverse Coastal Corridor (TCC) is

Discordant gene expression signatures and related phenotypic differences in lamin A- and A/C-related Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS).

Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a genetic disorder displaying features reminiscent of premature senescence caused by germline mutations in the LMNA gene encoding lamin A and C, essential components of the nuclear lamina.By studying a family with homozygous LMNA mutation (K542N), we showed that HGPS can also be caused by mutations aff
