To identify genetic changes underlying dog domestication and reconstruct their early evolutionary history, we generated high-quality genome sequences from three gray wolves, one from each of the three putative centers of dog domestication, two basal dog lineages (Basenji and Dingo) and a golden jackal as an outgroup.Analysis of these sequences supp
Habitat assessment of species is one of the most important strategies to conserve biodiversity in the protected areas.The main objective of this study is to present an ecological assessment model for habitat management of brown bears using the MaxEnt algorithm in Oshtorankooh Hats protected area, Lorestan.55 presence points of brown bear and seven
Managing and controlling costly natural hazards such as floods has been a fundamental and essential issue for decision-makers and planners from the past to the present.Artificial intelligence (AI) has recently proven promising to improve disaster management.There is growing interest in using AI to predict and identify flood-prone areas.However, cre
Abstract Background Oomycetes of the genus Phytophthora are pathogens that infect a wide range of plant species.For dicot hosts such Accessories as tomato, potato and soybean, Phytophthora is even the most important pathogen.Previous analyses of Phytophthora genomes uncovered many genes, large gene families and large genome sizes that can partially
Background: We examined non-fatal drug overdoses during the COVID-19 pandemic among persons who inject drugs (PWID) in Lid Hinge New York City (NYC).Methods: We recruited 275 PWID through respondent driven sampling and staff outreach from Oct.2021-Sept.2022 and enrolled in a cross-sectional survey.Information was collected on demographics, drug use
