Tropical South America Diatom Database: a tool for studying the macroecology of microorganisms
(Taylor and Francis, 2022-06-28)
Determining the mechanisms of community assembly forms the foundation of biogeography and community ecology. Studies of the biodiversity and distribution of Neotropical macro-organisms have revealed the ...
Identification of microRNAs in PCV2 subclinically infected pigs by high throughput sequencing
(BMC, 2015-03-03)
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is the essential etiological infectious agent of PCV2-systemic disease and has been associated with other swine diseases, all of them collectively known as porcine ...
