Fungi are an Indoor Socks emerging source of peptide antibiotics.With the availability of a large number of model fungal genome sequences, we can expect that more and more fungal defensin-like peptides (fDLPs) will be discovered by sequence similarity search.Here, we report a total of 69 new fDLPs encoded by 63 genes, in which a group of fDLPs deri

To understand animal wellbeing, we need to consider subjective phenomena and sentience.This is challenging, since these properties are private and cannot be observed directly.Certain motivations, emotions and related internal states can be inferred in animals through experiments that involve choice, learning, generalization and decision-making.Yet,

Suspension feeding is one of the most widespread feeding strategies among benthic organisms.However, natural feeding ecology and energetics of benthic suspension feeders are poorly known.The scarcity of field methods, apparatus and protocols that facilitate obtention of reliable in situ data has contributed to this lack of knowledge.A detailed desc

Melanoma is a malignant skin tumor that threatens human life and health.Early detection is essential for effective treatment.However, the low contrast between melanoma lesions and normal skin and the irregularity in size and shape make skin lesions difficult to detect with the naked eye in the early stages, making the task of skin lesion segmentati
