Previous recombination rate estimation studies in rhesus macaques have been mostly restricted to a singular approach (e.g., using microsatellite loci). Here, we employ a bilateral method in estimating recombination rates—pedigree-based and linkage-disequilibrium-based—from whole-genome data of rhesus macaques to estimate CO and NCO recombination events and to compare contemporary and historical rates of recombination.
Bacteriophages are the most numerous type of organisms in the world. These viruses have the ability to destroy bacteria that they specifically match. Phage therapy shows great promise to become a solution to bacterial infections and antibiotic resistance. To ensure that younger generations are aware of this field of research, we created a website to educate them. The website contains lessons and a game that will encourage confidence, curiosity, and understanding of bacteriophages.
