Mitochondrial DNA suggests at least 11 origins of parasitism in angiosperms and reveals genomic chimerism in parasitic plants
(2007-12-21)
Abstract
Background
Some of the most difficult phylogenetic questions in evolutionary biology involve identification of the free-living ...
Time-dependent patterning of the mesoderm and endoderm by Nodal signals in zebrafish
(2007-03-28)
Abstract
Background
The vertebrate body plan is generated during gastrulation with the formation of the three germ layers. Members ...
Does the history of food energy units suggest a solution to Calorie confusion?
(2007-12-17)
Abstract
The Calorie (kcal) of present U.S. food labels is similar to the original French definition of 1825. The original published source (now available on the internet) defined the Calorie as ...
Cdt1 degradation to prevent DNA re-replication: conserved and non-conserved pathways
(2007-06-12)
Abstract
In eukaryotes, DNA replication is strictly regulated so that it occurs only once per cell cycle. The mechanisms that prevent excessive DNA replication are focused on preventing replication ...
A co-fermentation strategy to consume sugar mixtures effectively
(2008-02-27)
Abstract
We report a new approach for the simultaneous conversion of xylose and glucose sugar mixtures into products by fermentation. The process simultaneously uses two substrate-selective strains ...
Biomechanical Effects Of A Single- Versus Multi-Radius Total Knee Arthroplasty Design On Bilateral Arthoplasty Patients During the Sit-To-Stand
(2008-08-13)
Abstract
Background
Compared to the design of a traditional multi-radius (MR) total knee arthroplasty (TKA), the single-radius (SR) ...
Targeting melanoma growth and viability reveals dualistic functionality of the phosphonothionate analogue of carba cyclic phosphatidic acid
(2010-06-09)
Abstract
Background
Although the incidence of melanoma in the U.S. is rising faster than any other cancer, the FDA-approved chemotherapies lack efficacy for advanced disease, which results in poor overall survival. ...
The DAWGPAWS pipeline for the annotation of genes and transposable elements in plant genomes
(2009-06-19)
Abstract
Background
High quality annotation of the genes and transposable elements in complex genomes requires a human-curated ...
Advancing Data Reuse in Phyloinformatics Using an Ontology-Driven Semantic Web Approach
(2013-11-11)
Abstract
Phylogenetic analyses can resolve historical relationships among genes, organisms or higher taxa. Understanding such relationships can elucidate a wide range of biological phenomena, ...
AntEpiSeeker: detecting epistatic interactions for case-control studies using a two-stage ant colony optimization algorithm
(2010-04-28)
Abstract
Background
Epistatic interactions of multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are now believed to affect individual ...
