DOI: 10.1007/s00284-021-02424-w
Abstract: The giant panda (GP) is the most precious animal in China. Gastrointestinal tract disease, especially associated with dysbiosis of gut microbiota, is the leading cause of death in GPs. Here, we performed 16S rRNA high-throughput… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13364-019-00418-5
Abstract: Repeat number variations of coding simple sequence repeats (coding SSRs) generate phenotype diversity for environmental adaptation and rapid adaptive evolution. Despite the positive potential of coding SSR mutations, the repeat variations have also been shown… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2018.09.053
Abstract: The tooth enamel of vertebrates comprises a hyper-mineralized bioceramic, but is distinguished by an exceptional durability to resist impact and wear throughout the lifetime of organisms; however, enamels exhibit a low resistance to the initiation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2019.03.013
Abstract: Abstract Competition often occurs between two or more sympatric species that use similar ecological niches. During competition, a superior species may exclude the competitor from parts of its fundamental niche or make it go extinct.… read more here.
