MANAGING HETEROGENEOUS DATASETS FOR DYNAMIC RISK ANALYSIS OF LARGE-SCALE INFRASTRUCTURES


Reduced steroid activation of elephant shark GR and MR after inserting four amino acids from the DNA-binding domain of lamprey corticoid receptor-1

Atlantic sea lamprey contains two corticoid receptors (CRs), CR1 and CR2, that have identical amino acid sequences, except for a four amino acid insert (Thr-Arg-Gln-Gly) in the CR1 DNA-binding domain (DBD).Steroids are sara stedy stand aid stronger transcriptional activators of CR2 than of CR1 suggesting that the insert reduces the transcriptional

Herpesvirus Nuclear Egress across the Outer Nuclear Membrane

Herpesvirus capsids are assembled in the nucleus and undergo a two-step process to cross the nuclear envelope.Capsids bud into the inner nuclear membrane (INM) aided by the nuclear egress complex (NEC) proteins UL31/34.At that stage of egress, enveloped virions are found for a short time in the perinuclear space.In the second step of nuclear egress

Examining the effectiveness of discriminant function analysis and cluster analysis in species identification of male field crickets based on their calling songs.

navy drapery fabric Traditional taxonomy based on morphology has often failed in accurate species identification owing to the occurrence of cryptic species, which are reproductively isolated but morphologically identical.Molecular data have thus been used to complement morphology in species identification.The sexual advertisement calls in several g
