While theory suggests that such a small population is likely to have accumulated deleterious mutations through genetic drift, our analyses on the impact of the long-term small population size in kākāpō indicate that present-day island kākāpō have a reduced number of harmful mutations compared ...
Helicobacter pyloriinfection is related to the inflammatory response of the gastric mucosa. While most infected individuals remain asymptomatic, persistent colonization and chronic inflammation increase the risk of developing atrophic gastritis, peptic ulcers, and distal gastric adenocarcinoma [1].

Equivalent percentages of certain pairs of bases (Chargaff's first parity rule) assisted Watson and Crick when devising their helical model forduplexDNA, where two strands were wound round each other. Thus, an A on one strand would pair with a T on the opposite strand, and a G on one s...
