CONVERGENT EVOLUTION OF SWS2 OPSIN FACILITATES ADAPTIVE RADIATION OF THREESPINE STICKLEBACK INTO DIFFERENT LIGHT ENVIRONMENTS.

Convergent evolution of SWS2 opsin facilitates adaptive radiation of threespine stickleback into different light environments.

Repeated adaptation to a new environment often leads to convergent phenotypic changes whose underlying genetic mechanisms are rarely known.Here, we study adaptation of color vision in threespine stickleback during the repeated postglacial colonization of clearwater and blackwater lakes in the Haida Gwaii archipelago.We use whole genomes from 16 cle

Priapism in sickle cell disease: Associations between NOS3 and EDN1 genetic polymorphisms and laboratory biomarkers.

Priapism is a urologic emergency characterized by an uncontrolled, persistent and painful erection in the absence of sexual stimulation, which can lead to penile fibrosis and impotence.It is highly frequent in sickle cell disease (SCD) associated with hemolytic episodes.Our aim was to investigate molecules that may participate in the regulation of
