| the complete mitochondrial genome of hyla annectans (anura: hylidae). | the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the hyla annectans (anura: hylidae) was determined in this study. it is a circular molecule of 17,973 bp in length including 37 genes for 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal rnas, 22 transfer rnas and a control region, showing a typical neobatrachian-type arrangement. the a + t content of h-strand and the control region is 60.7% and 64.6%, respectively. the control region is 2554 bp in length and possesses distinct repeat regions at both 5' and 3' e ... | 2016 | 25238111 |
| the roles of climate, geography and natural selection as drivers of genetic and phenotypic differentiation in a widespread amphibian hyla annectans (anura: hylidae). | the role of geological events and pleistocene climatic fluctuations as drivers of current patterns of genetic variation in extant species has been a topic of continued interest among evolutionary biologists. nevertheless, comprehensive studies of widely distributed species are still rare, especially from asia. using geographically extensive sampling of many individuals and a large number of nuclear single nucleotide polymorphisms (snps), we studied the phylogeography and historical demography of ... | 2020 | 32762086 |
| the first gene-encoded amphibian neurotoxin. | many gene-encoded neurotoxins with various functions have been discovered in fish, reptiles, and mammals. a novel 60-residue neurotoxin peptide (anntoxin) that inhibited tetrodotoxin-sensitive (ttx-s) voltage-gated sodium channel (vgsc) was purified and characterized from the skin secretions of the tree frog hyla annectans (jerdon). this is the first gene-encoded neurotoxin found in amphibians. the ic50 of anntoxin for the ttx-s channel was about 3.4 microm. anntoxin shares sequence homology wit ... | 2009 | 19535333 |
