A Prospective Metagenomic and Metabolomic Analysis of the Impact of Exercise and/or Whey Protein Supplementation on the Gut Microbiome of Sedentary Adults

ABSTRACT Many components of modern living exert influence on the resident intestinal microbiota of humans with resultant impact on host health.For example, exercise-associated changes in the diversity, composition, and functional profiles of microbial populations in the gut have been described in cross-sectional studies of habitual athletes.However

Conditional knockout of RAD51-related genes in Leishmania major reveals a critical role for homologous recombination during genome replication.

Homologous recombination (HR) has an intimate relationship with genome replication, both during repair of DNA lesions that might prevent DNA synthesis and in tackling stalls to the replication fork.Recent studies led us to ask if HR might have a more central role in replicating the genome of Leishmania, a eukaryotic parasite.Conflicting evidence ha
