Approximately 70 loci implicated in non-syndromic forms of deafness have been reported in humans and 24 causative genes have been identified(1) (see also http://www.uia.ac.be/dnalab/hhh). We report a mouse transcript, isolated by a candidate deafness gene approach, that is expressed almost...
Two isoforms of COX (COX-1 and COX-2) have been cloned and characterized (Simmons et al 2004). COX-1 and COX-2 are the products of different genes. COX-1 is considered a "housekeeping gene" by virtue of constitutive low-levels of expression in most cell types. However, high levels ...
1. What is mainly talked about in the passage? A.How humans started farming at the very beginning. B.Fijian ants also have the knowledge of farming. C.Scientists watched ants develop fanning. D.Fijian ants started fanning millions of years earlier than man. ...
The persistence or otherwise of the domain core in humans and other vertebrates is an important consideration for the development of antiviral therapeutic agents for human and veterinary medicine, as well as in regard to both wild and domesticated animals as coronavirus hosts. Here are some odd flu...
of function mutations in SCN9A completely cosegregate with this disorder, and while known to be fatal in mice, the loss is not fatal in humans. Also, it has been reported that other voltage-gated sodium channels do not compensate for the lack of Nav1.7 (alternative ge...
testing. As a matter of fact, animals have helped a great deal in the scientific and medical field which has equally improved the quality of human life. From a practical perspective, the use of animal experiments guarantees the safety of humans. In order to ascertain whether drugs and other ...
Humans have a set of IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA, and IgE antibodies, whereas chickens have IgA, IgM and IgY (this being the equivalent of mammalian IgG). Some immune genes are either completely missing in birds or are only present in particular species [21] and immune gene families have ...
Niche differentiation is a key stabilizing mechanism in the maintenance of biodiversity and species coexistence. Recent work shows that trophic niche parti
They are also adverse to imposed rules and nomenclature systems, and yet, the use of standardized vocabularies and nomenclatures greatly facilitates sharing ideas and finding pertinent information. Thus, organism-specific nomenclature systems for genes and proteins have been created. For humans and ...
in release of the genome inside the cell for its use as a blueprint for production of new viruses. In the following, I shall cursorily discuss the early more general steps of viral infection that include receptor recognition, uptake into the cell, and uncoating of the viral genome. The ...
