CHILLED FROGS ARE HOT: HIBERNATION AND REPRODUCTION OF THE ENDANGERED MOUNTAIN YELLOW-LEGGED FROG RANA MUSCOSA

Chilled frogs are hot: hibernation and reproduction of the Endangered mountain yellow-legged frog Rana muscosa

In the face of the sixth great extinction crisis, it is imperative to establish effective breeding protocols for amphibian conservation breeding programs.Captive efforts should not proceed by trial and error, nor should they jump prematurely to assisted reproduction techniques, which can be invasive, difficult, costly, and, at times, counterproduct

H/ACA Small RNA Dysfunctions in Disease Reveal Key Roles for Noncoding RNA Modifications in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Differentiation

Noncoding RNAs control critical cellular processes, although their contribution to disease remains largely unexplored.Dyskerin associates with hundreds of H/ACA small RNAs to generate a multitude of functionally distinct ribonucleoproteins (RNPs).The DKC1 gene, encoding dyskerin, is mutated in the multisystem disorder X-linked dyskeratosis congenit
