Abstract Background Some of the most difficult phylogenetic questions in evolutionary biology involve identification of the free-living ...

Abstract Background The vertebrate body plan is generated during gastrulation with the formation of the three germ layers. Members ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Abstract Background Compared to the design of a traditional multi-radius (MR) total knee arthroplasty (TKA), the single-radius (SR) ...

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. ...

Abstract Background High quality annotation of the genes and transposable elements in complex genomes requires a human-curated ...

Abstract Phylogenetic analyses can resolve historical relationships among genes, organisms or higher taxa. Understanding such relationships can elucidate a wide range of biological phenomena, ...

Abstract Background Epistatic interactions of multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are now believed to affect individual ...
