    • Selective pressure against horizontally acquired prokaryotic genes as a driving force of plastid evolution 

      Llorente, Briardo; de Souza, Flavio S. J.; Soto, Gabriela Cynthia; Meyer, Cristian; Alonso, Guillermo D.; Flawia, Mirtha M.; Bravo Almonacid, Fernando Felix; Ayub, Nicolás Daniel; Rodríguez-Concepción, Manuel (Springer Nature, 2016-01)
      The plastid organelle comprises a high proportion of nucleus-encoded proteins that were acquired from different prokaryotic donors via independent horizontal gene transfers following its primary endosymbiotic origin. What ...
    • ViralPlaque: a Fiji macro for automated assessment of viral plaque statistics 

      Cacciabue, Marco Polo; Curra, Anabella Paola; Gismondi, Maria Ines (PeerJ, 2019-09)
      laque assay has been used for a long time to determine infectious titers and characterize prokaryotic and eukaryotic viruses forming plaques. Indeed, plaque morphology and dimensions can provide information regarding the ...
