These genes are found in all jawed vertebrates and play a critical role in an organism's immune response (Klein, 1990). The MHC genes are among the most polymorphic functional genes in vertebrate genomes and can therefore provide a strong test of theories of adaptive variation. Several non-...
(with ~700–1,000× genomic coverage) of total genomic DNA from bacterial population samples taken as time series; (3) identification and quantitation of sequence variants (mutations, small insertion–deletion mutations, insertion sequences insertions, genomic rearrangements) to deduce evolutionary ...
The immune system endows vertebrates with the ability to detect and respond to various challenges to the homeostasis of the organism; among these, is the emergence of nascent tumors. NK cells are major innate effectors for the early recognition of transformed cells because they can spontaneously det...
It has properties that, it has been known for a long time, you just wouldn't expect a biological organism to have at all, properties which in many ways are more similar to things you find in the inorganic world, for unknown reasons. If this turns out to be on the right track, it ...

A universal is thus anything that is instantiated by particulars and a particular anything that instantiates a universal [34]. In this sense, I am an instance of multicellular organism. Real entities do not exist inside of our minds but outside in the real world. When we think of a real ...
Glycoside hydrolases of the GH9 family encode cellulases that predominantly function as endoglucanases and have wide applications in the food, paper, pharmaceutical, and biofuel industries. The partitioning of plant GH9 endoglucanases, into classes A, B,
