a. (of a grammatical case) fulfilling different functions that in some languages would require different inflected forms: English nouns used as subject or object are in the common case. b. of or pertaining to a word or gender that may refer to either a male or female: Frenchélève “pupil...
For those looking to match up common plant names with botanical names, we offer the following simple list. Common name is listed first, followed by botanical name and extension ( if known ). Abscess Root Polemonium reptans Acanthus-leaved Thistle Carlina acanthifolia Accocha Cyclanthera pedata A...
The discovery of a sex linkage group in Rana temporaria, as well as other regions with strongly reduced male recombination rates, should help to uncover the genetic underpinnings of the sex- determination system in this species. As the number of linkage groups found (n ¼ 15) is quite ...
bEnzyme activity is expressed in nmol mgÀ1 protein per h, with the values of six Thai normal controls being 11.63±4.97 (range: 5.97–19.58). cNovel mutations are indicated in bold. dL444P and N188K are the names that follow the common nomenclature and do not include the 39-residue ...
Arizona presents a similar potential, though as far as I can tell, it doesn’t apply inside the major cities. Well…not to the degree that it applies in Southern California. But that potentialisone of the reasons I chose not to move up to the little mountain town of Payson when several...
With their long lives and extreme reproductive output, social insect queens have escaped the classic trade-off between fecundity and lifespan, but evidence for a trade-off between fecundity and immunity has been inconclusive. This is in part because path
Historically, HERV names are linked to the different approaches/methodologies applied for their identification leading to a puzzle of names sometimes difficult to interpret and translate. An up-to-date enumeration and classification of HERV present in the human genome, as well as the introduction of...
Women Exposed to Common Chemical Have Higher Risk of Delivering Male Infant With Smaller Genitals, Study SaysUSA TodayStar TribuneBBC News
Given the inherent genetic chimerism in this species, blood DNA contained sequences from the germ line of the sampled individual and also from her male co-twin. We took advantage of the sex difference in the co-twins to estimate the proportion of reads originating from the co-twin (Supplement...
Population prevalence of AN in these populations ranged from 0.4 to 3% (refs 12–18; Table 1). Genotyping Cases were genotyped on either the 'Infinium HumanCoreExome-12 BeadChip Kit (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA),19 or the 'Infinium HumanCoreExome-24 BeadChip Kit (Illumina),20 at the...
