Retrotransposons, which proliferate by reverse transcription of RNA intermediates,
comprise a major portion of plant genomes 1 , 2 . Plants often change the genome size and …

Purpose: CC chemokine receptor 7 (CCR7) plays a critical role in the migration of activated
dendritic cells to regional lymph nodes. Recent studies have shown that CCR7 is involved in …

Codon usage in nuclear genes of four monocot and three dicot species was analyzed to
find general patterns in codon choice of plant species. Codon bias was correlated with GC …

Background Many of the processes affecting genetic diversity act on local populations.
However, studies of plant nucleotide diversity have largely ignored local sampling, making it …

Resveratrol (3,5,4′-trihydroxy- trans -stilbene) is a natural product occurring in grapes and
various other plants with medicinal properties associated with reduced cardiovascular …

Electrochemical reduction of high-pressure carbon dioxide with an indium, a tin, and a lead
electrode at a potential of −1·8 V versus Ag /AgCl saturated KCl was investigated in the …

A central question in genomic imprinting is how a specific sequence is recognized as the
target for epigenetic marking. In both mammals and plants, imprinted genes are often …

The plant genome evolves with rapid proliferation of LTR-type retrotransposons, which is
associated with their clustered accumulation in gene-poor regions, such as centromeres. …

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a disease in which stenosis or obstruction of the
pulmonary arteries (PAs) causes an increase in PA pressure, leading to right-sided heart …

Some models have already been developed to explain the effect of moisture content on the
radon emanation fraction of soil. For this purpose, “microscopic” soil models, which are easy …
