Gene flow and population structure in the Mexican blind cavefish complex (Astyanax mexicanus)
Martina Bradic,Martina Bradic,Peter Beerli,Francisco J. García de León,Sarai Esquivel-Bobadilla,Richard Borowsky +5 more
TL;DR: The similar cave phenotypes found in these caves are the result of repeated convergences in spite of gene flow from surface populations suggesting either strong natural or sexual selection for alleles responsible for the cave phenotype in the cave environment.
Single-dose versus 7-day-dose metronidazole for the treatment of trichomoniasis in women: an open-label, randomised controlled trial.
Patricia Kissinger,Christina A. Muzny,Leandro Mena,Rebecca A. Lillis,Jane R. Schwebke,Laura Beauchamps,Stephanie N. Taylor,Norine Schmidt,Leann Myers,Peter Augostini,William Evan Secor,Martina Bradic,Jane M. Carlton,David H Martin,David H Martin +14 more
TL;DR: The 7-day-dose metronidazole should be the preferred treatment for trichomoniasis among women, and bacterial vaginosis status had no significant effect on relative risk.
Genotyping with Sequenom.
TL;DR: Sequenom's MassARRAY(®) genotyping platform is a powerful and flexible method for assaying up to a few thousand markers and up to thousands of individuals for polymorphisms in populations for which cost-efficient high-throughput arrays are nonexistent.

Getting trichy: tools and approaches to interrogating Trichomonas vaginalis in a post-genome world
TL;DR: Some of the tools and approaches available to interrogate T. vaginalis biology are reviewed, with an emphasis on recent advances and current limitations, and areas where further efforts are needed to examine effectively the complex and intriguing biology of the parasite.

The Tc1/mariner transposable element family shapes genetic variation and gene expression in the protist Trichomonas vaginalis
TL;DR: This study is the first in T. vaginalis to describe Tvmar1 population dynamics and its contribution to genetic variability of the parasite, and shows that a majority of the studied Tv mar1 insertion loci exist at very low frequencies in the global population, and insertions are variable between geographical isolates.
