According to the arrangement of repeating units, repeats can be classified into two types: tandem repeats (TRs) and interspersed repeats24, as depicted in Fig.1(b). Interspersed repeats, also known astransposonsorTEs, consist of DNA and RNA transposons25. Generally, TRs refer to a sequence arr...
Since at that time the maximum number of DNA bases that could be sequenced in a single experiment, was around a few hundred, and the size of even the smallest of the human chromosomes was more than 100 million bp, a way had to be found to stitch together long DNA sequences from large...
We demonstrate a 5 to 10 fold increase in accumulation levels of the "synaptic" splice variant of human acetylcholinesterase inNicotiana benthamianaplants expressing the optimized gene as compared to the native human sequence. Both transient expression assays and stable transformants demonstrated conspicuous...

Vavilovian mimicry is an evolutionary process by which weeds evolve to resemble domesticated crop plants and is thought to be the result of unintentional selection by humans. Unravelling its molecular mechanisms will extend our knowledge of mimicry and c
Well, the answer to her first question is quite easy. The professor was horribly wrong. The nonsensical idea that human and chimp DNA are 99% similar comes from misinterpreting a 1975 paper by Mary-Claire King and A. C. Wilson.1This groundbreaking (for its time) article compared sever...
of these souls continue to incarnate around the Atlantic Ocean, and still carry a particular mindset left over which is blended into societies through the thousands of years, much like the DNA. Throughthe thousands of years, all life on the planet has blended and souls have learned from ...
2021). We thus argue that by leaving biodiversity assessments, especially from more recent periods, largely untouched, the archaeological community has yet to start making use of the full promise that sedaDNA has to offer. Compared to traditional archaeological methods, sedaDNA can classify a ...
We also tested for the effect of days since death (time between death and autopsy), but found no significant correlation (r(42) = 0.10, p = 0.49) neither for plants nor for animals. Discussion In this study we successfully applied a DNA metabarcoding approach to identify consumed ...
Compared to wild type BT1285, we found no mutant with a significantly different hydrolytic rate, suggesting that this protein-protein interaction does not contribute to the high catalytic rate of BT1285 and that only recognition of the HMN-glycan itself is driving catalysis, distinct from what we...
