Leishmanial parasites have two morphologic stages in their life cycle.
Populations that have evolved in isolation, however, may no longer retain their morphologic and genetic distinctiveness when mixed with similar species from elsewhere.
In Woese's taxonomic redrawing, his three-domain system, based on genetic relationships rather than obvious morphologic similarities, divided life into 23 main divisions, incorporated within three domains: bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.
The incremental cost for autopsy, the time-honored and widely acknowledged "gold standard" for evaluating morphologic alterations in the patient who dies, would be insignificant.
In the past three decades, I have collected more than 50,000 bone marrow biopsies, blood, normal control buccal smear cells [cells taken from inside the cheek], serum and plasma samples in a well-annotated tissue repository backed by a computerised bank of clinical, pathologic and morphologic data.
As part of the Art Basel show in Miami, in 2010, Coral Morphologic beamed images of giant corals onto an office building in South Beach.
In late May, Coral Morphologic, a lab founded by Foord, his childhood friend Jared McKay, and a group of researchers from the University of Miami, was granted collection permits to transplant smaller corals left behind in the dredge zone.
My arrival at Coral Morphologic was less eventful.
Started in 2007, Coral Morphologic has served as a coral film studio to help support research through various grant-funded endeavors.
Upon arrival at the Morphologic lab, corals undergo a rigorous housecleaning process involving bone saws and tweezers.
The rest were brought back to Coral Morphologic's lab in Overtown, a vaulted limestone space formerly inhabited by a Pentecostal church known as the Ministry of Love, Power and Grace.
