Transcriptionally promiscuous "blurry" promoters in Tc1/mariner transposons a...
Abstract Background We have recently described a peculiar feature of the promoters in two Drosophila Tc1-like elements, Bari1 and Bari3. The AT-richness and the presence of weak... -
Origin, evolution and conservation of the honey bees from La Palma Island (Ca...
Genetic studies have shown a significant hybridization of local populations of Apis mellifera in the Canary Islands, as a consequence of queen importation. Since La Palma Island... -
Capturing the diversity of the human gut microbiota through culture-enriched ...
Abstract Background The human gut microbiota has been implicated in most aspects of health and disease; however, most of the bacteria in this community are considered... -
Characterization of a strong and constitutive promoter from the Arabidopsis s...
Abstract Background Transgenic technology has become an important technique for crop genetic improvement. The application of well-characterized promoters is essential for... -
TSS seq based core promoter architecture in blood feeding Tsetse fly (Glossin...
Abstract Background Transcription initiation regulation is mediated by sequence-specific interactions between DNA-binding proteins (transcription factors) and cis-elements,... -
Performance of cytokine models in predicting SLE activity
Abstract Background Identification of universal biomarkers to predict systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) flares is challenging due to the heterogeneity of the disease. Several... -
"Navigation to prioritizing the patient" – first-line nurse managers’ experie...
Abstract Background First-line nurse managers are central to quality improvement work when changing work practices into better patient outcomes. Quality improvement... -
Production of human pro-relaxin H2 in the yeast Pichia pastoris
Abstract Background Initially known as the reproductive hormone, relaxin was shown to possess other therapeutically useful properties that include extracellular matrix... -
Production of rosmarinic acid and correlated gene expression in hairy root cu...
Rosmarinic acid (RA) is an active constituent of Ocimum basilicum. It has been shown that hairy root production (measured as dry weight) improves when green basil (O. basilicum... -
Complete versus culprit-only revascularization in patients with ST-segment el...
Abstract Background The best strategy for the treatment of the non-infarct artery in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel disease (MVD)... -
Re-evaluation of the role of Indian germplasm as center of melon diversificat...
Abstract Background The importance of Indian germplasm as origin and primary center of diversity of cultivated melon is widely accepted. Genetic diversity of several collections... -
Sex-specific changes in gene expression in response to estrogen pollution aro...
Abstract The synthetic 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2) is a common estrogenic pollutant that has been suspected to affect the demography of river-dwelling salmonids. One possibility... -
The relationship between structural factors and interaction quality in Norweg...
Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between two structural factors of quality: organisation form (stable groups versus flexible groups) and... -
Bi-Assisted CdTe/CdS Hierarchical Nanostructure Growth for Photoconductive Ap...
Abstract We developed a method to control the structure of CdTe nanowires by adopting Bi-mixed CdTe powder source to a catalyst-assisted chemical vapor deposition, which allowed... -
Efficient and mild swern oxidation using a new sulfoxide and <i>bis</i>(trich...
A new type of sulfoxide, 4-(2-(2-(methylsulfinyl) ethyl)-4-nitrophenyl)- morpholine (I) was designed and prepared in good yield. Upon the combination of I andbis... -
Metatranscriptomic and comparative genomic insights into resuscitation mechan...
Abstract Background The pure culture of prokaryotes remains essential to elucidating the role of these organisms. Scientists have reasoned that hard to cultivate microorganisms... -
Treatment of active lupus nephritis with the novel immunosuppressant 15-deoxy...
Abstract Introduction As the immunosuppressive potency of 15-deoxyspergualin (DSG) has been shown in the therapy of renal transplant rejection and Wegener's granulomatosis, the... -
Estrogen exposure overrides the masculinizing effect of elevated temperature ...
Abstract Background Understanding the consequences of thermal and chemical variations in aquatic habitats is of importance in a scenario of global change. In ecology, the sex... -
Myocardial infarction and mortality following joint surgery in patients with ...
Abstract Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and post-MI fatality compared with the general population. In a... -
Phenome-wide association study identifies marked increased in burden of comor...
Abstract Background African Americans with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have increased renal disease compared to Caucasians, but differences in other comorbidities have...
