(2014-11-26)
Abstract
Background
Prior research in 2005 and 2008 estimated planted forest investment returns for a set of countries and included ...
Gene expression profiling of epithelial ovarian tumours correlated with malignant potential
(2004-10-07)
Abstract

Transposition of the Tourist-MITE mPing in yeast: an assay that retains key features of catalysis by the class 2 PIF/Harbinger superfamily
(2010-02-01)
Abstract
Background
PIF/Harbinger is the most recently discovered DNA transposon superfamily and is now known to populate genomes from fungi to plants to animals. Mobilization of superfamily members requires two separate ...

(2012-08-09)
AbstractBackgroundIdentification of the novel genes relevant to plant cell-wall (PCW) synthesis represents a highly important and challenging problem. Although substantial efforts have been invested into studying this ...
Changes in DNA methylation at the aryl hydrocarbon receptor repressor may be a new biomarker for smoking
(2013-10-11)
Abstract
Background
Smoking is the largest preventable cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. In previous work, we demonstrated that altered DNA methylation at the aryl hydrocarbon ...
Detecting SNPs underlying domestication-related traits in soybean
(2014-09-26)
Abstract
Background
Cultivated soybean (Glycine max) experienced a severe genetic bottleneck during its domestication and a ...
Identification of expressed resistance gene-like sequences by data mining in 454-derived transcriptomic sequences of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
(2012-03-23)
Abstract
Background
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is one of the most important legumes in the world. Several diseases severely reduce bean production and quality; therefore, it is very important to better understand ...
Comparison of confidence interval methods for an intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC)
(2014-11-22)
Abstract
Background
The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) is widely used in biomedical research to assess the reproducibility of measurements between raters, labs, technicians, or devices. ...
