Gene transfer agents(GTAs) are bacteriophage-like elements, which carry and transfer pieces of genetic materials from producing cells to other cells. The amount of genetic material they carry is usually insufficient to encode the protein of the elements themselves (Lang et al., 2012). ...
We weighed the undissolved silk and calculated the weight loss due to degumming (see Materials and Methods). As shown in Fig. 3f, sericins make up about 48% of the G. mellonella cocoon mass. By contrast, B. mori cocoons contained only about 26% soluble cocoon proteins. The removal was...
Our intent is to rank gene neighborhoods, not to make statements about the statistical significance of individual neighborhoods. The greater bandwidth of the un-adjusted p-value distribution provides a more meaningful ranking than does the much smaller bandwidth of the adjusted p-value distribution. ...
house mouse; selection; population structure; trans-species polymorphism Introduction Patterns of evolution in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are of interest because of its function: class I and II genes encode glycoproteins that recognize and present antigens to T cells (Klein, 1986). ...
For ABC, we used the predictions in the cell type corresponding to the CRISPR experiments. Because ABC is the only method that makes predictions in all of these cell types, we used this plot to compare ABC to other methods that make predictions without cell-type information. We consider each...
encode identical proteins [76]. All nine duplicate genes appear to have arisen within the Drosophilidae, albeit at different stages in the lineage leading toD. melanogaster(Figure1). Neither member of these 9 CRP gene pairs contains a nonsense mutation in the protein-coding region (data not show...

However, further investigation of the AtPP2-A3 and AtPP2-A8 genes to explain their function and interactions with other potential components of the plant defense system is required to make progress in understand- ing their mode of action. Author contribution statement AW developed the con- ...
sex-biased genes that encode the proteins of CaM/CML, CNGCs, and WRKY33 might also cause sexual dimorphism in response to pathogen and bacterial damage inS. paraplesiaflowers. Dimorphism in flower energy consumption Dioecious plants usually exhibit differential reproductive investment in male and ...
A therapeutic composition of the present invention can be utilized to make a pharmaceutical preparation for the treatment of an individual in need of modulation of the DNA checkpoint/repair mediated by the activity of Hmus81. Another aspect of the present invention is the use of a therapeutic com...
