    • The genome sequence of the northern bat, Eptesicus nilssonii (Keyserling & Blasius, 1839) 

      van der Kooij, Jeroen; Vernes, Sonja; Teeling, Emma; Mai, Meike; Johannessen, Lars Erik; Gundersen, Gro (2023-08-22) - Journal article
      We present a genome assembly from an individual Eptesicus nilssonii (the northern bat; Chordata; Mammalia; Chiroptera; Vespertilionidae), derived from the placental tissue of a pregnancy that resulted a male pup. The genome ...

    • The genome sequence of the Soprano Pipistrelle, Pipistrellus pygmaeus (Leach, 1825) 

      Ruedi, Manuel; Vernes, Sonja; Teeling, Emma; Mai, Meike (2023-08-21) - Journal article
      We present a genome assembly from an individual male Pipistrellus pygmaeus (the Soprano Pipistrelle; Chordata; Mammalia; Chiroptera; Vespertilionidae). The genome sequence is 1,895.1 megabases in span. Most of the assembly ...

    • The life history of Drosophila sperm involves molecular continuity between male and female reproductive tracts 

      McCullough, EL; Whittington, E; Singh, A; Pitnick, S; Wolfner, MF; Dorus, S (2022-03-15) - Journal article
      Interactions between sperm and the female reproductive tract (FRT) are critical to reproductive success and yet are poorly understood. Because sperm complete their functional maturation within the FRT, the life history of ...

    • Effects of fixatives and storage duration on avian sperm morphology 

      Gronstol, G; Danielsen, M; Cramer, ERA; Johannessen, LE; Johnsen, A; Whittington, E; Lifjeld, JT (2023-01) - Journal article
      Sperm cells are variable both within and among species. To be able to accurately measure sperm cells and understand their function, it is important that sperm cells are preserved in a manner that maintains their structural ...

    • Tuberculosis diagnosis cascade in Blantyre, Malawi : a prospective cohort study 

      Feasey, Helena r. a.; Corbett, Elizabeth l.; Nliwasa, Marriott; Mair, Luke; Divala, Titus h.; Kamchedzera, Wala; Khundi, Mc ewen; Burchett, Helen e. d.; Webb, Emily l.; Maheswaran, Hendramoorthy; Squire, S. bertel; Macpherson, Peter (2021-02-15) - Journal article
      Background Tuberculosis (TB) control relies on early diagnosis and treatment. International guidelines recommend systematic TB screening at health facilities, but implementation is challenging. We investigated completion ...
