Complete mitochondrial genomes provide current refined phylogenomic hypotheses for relationships among ten Hirundo species

Hirundo is the most species-rich genus of the passerine swallow family (Hirundinidae) and has a cosmopolitan distribution.Here we report the complete, annotated click here mitochondrial genomes for 25 individuals from 10 of the 14 extant Hirundo species; these include representatives from four subspecies of the barn swallow, H.rustica.Mitogenomes w

Chiral Water-Soluble Molecular Capsules With Amphiphilic Interiors

We present the synthesis of new chiral water-soluble dimeric capsules by the multicomponent Mannich reaction between charged amino acids (glutamic acid or arginine), resorcinarene, and formaldehyde and by subsequent self-assembly.The zwitterionic character of the backbones enables electrostatic interactions between arms and induces self-assembly of
