COMPARATIVE RATES OF EVOLUTION IN ENDOSYMBIOTIC NUCLEAR GENOMES

Comparative rates of evolution in endosymbiotic nuclear genomes

Abstract Background The nucleomorphs associated with secondary plastids of cryptomonads and chlorarachniophytes are the sole examples of organelles with eukaryotic nuclear genomes.Although not as widespread as their prokaryotic equivalents in mitochondria and plastids, nucleomorph genomes share similarities in terms of reduction and compaction.They

Spontaneously reversible adrenal nodules in primary diffuse large B-cell testicular lymphoma mimicking an extranodal involvement: A case report

In the staging of cancer patients, transient and spontaneously reversible bilateral adrenal hypertrophy may mimic a secondary localization of the disease.We discuss the case of an 82-year-old male patient with Car Chargers suspected testicular neoplasia in which abdominal CT examination reveals the onset of a bilateral macronodular adrenal enlargem
