If some of these genes are novel α-keratins as the phylogeny and genomic alignment data indicate, then the current α-keratin nomenclature, based on mammalian genes, does not adequately account for the diversity found in birds. Therefore, we suggest that the KRT42 genes be annotated as KRT...
Viruses classified under the Coronaviridae family are enveloped positive-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses that exhibit high genetic diversity [21]. Within the Orthocoronavirinae subfamily, there are four genera: alphacoronavirus, betacoronavirus, gammacoronavirus, and deltacoronavirus. Viruses in this ...
Species diversity 1. Introduction The concept of biodiversity has evolved from its initial form as ‘biological diversity’ (Harris, 1916) until the merger of both terms in the last decades of the 20th century (Wilson 1988). According to Whittaker, 1960, Whittaker, 1972, species diversity (SDi...
To compare the population dynamics of the Alpha and Delta variants of SARS-CoV-2 in Cambodia, relative genetic diversity of each variant was quantified over time. Skyride plots revealed that Alpha viruses exhibited a gradual increase in diversity from early 2021, peaking in August 2021, followed ...
This chapter examines staffing trends for Beta Alpha Psi (BAP) advisors over the past 20 years to document the degree of tenure- versus nontenure-track faculty involvement. We surveyed faculty advisors to determine how they are compensated for their BAP service. Our findings show a significant in...
Fixing an irrelevant TCR alpha chain reveals the importance of TCR beta diversity for optimal TCR alpha beta pairing and function of virus-specific CD8þ T cells. Eur J Immunol 2010; 40: 2470-2481.Valkenburg SA, Day EB, Swan NG, Croom HA, Carbone FR, Doherty PC et al. Fixing an ...
D614G (blue), Alpha (orange), Beta (gray), Gamma (yellow), Delta (green). The results shown are the average of three analytical replicates with error bars representing the standard deviations Full size image The diversity in N-glycan composition on specific glycosites of the S proteins was...
To date, analysis of expressing TCR-beta transgenes derived from CD4(+) T clones has demonstrated equivalent or higher TCR diversity in naturally occurring regulatory CD4(+) T (Tregs) versus conventional CD4(+) T (Tcons). However, TCR-alpha-chain diversity in these may be influenced by the...
This is consistent with the known EMT status of IDC versus ILC, of which EDW01 and ED03 are examples, respectively. However, a comparison of the progression of such divergent cancer types with regard to EMT status has enabled the discovery of some unique findings. The partial EMT observed ...
Whereas control adults demonstrated increased alpha-band connectivity between these areas for the Inhibition versus Vigilance conditions, adults with ASD showed no differences in alpha-band synchrony for this same comparison and very little activation of the alpha-band network that differed between groups...
