Linking SOX10 to a slow-growth resistance phenotype

Economics. Linking natural resources to slow growth and more conflict.

Subnuclear re-localization of SOX10 and p54NRB correlates with a unique neurological phenotype associated with SOX10 missense mutations.

SOX10 is a transcription factor with well-known functions in neural crest and oligodendrocyte development. Mutations in SOX10 were first associated with Waardenburg-Hirschsprung disease (WS4; deafness, pigmentation defects and intestinal aganglionosis). However, variable phenotypes that extend beyond the WS4 definition are now reported. The neurological phenotypes associated with some truncatin...

PGMapper: a web-based tool linking phenotype to genes

SUMMARY With the availability of whole genome sequence in many species, linkage analysis, positional cloning and microarray are gradually becoming powerful tools for investigating the links between phenotype and genotype or genes. However, in these methods, causative genes underlying a quantitative trait locus, or a disease, are usually located within a large genomic region or a large set of ge...

Nanostructured ceramic oxides with a slow crack growth resistance close to covalent materials.

Oxide ceramics are sensitive to slow crack growth because adsorption of water can take place at the crack tip, leading to a strong decrease of the surface energy in humid (or air) conditions. This is a major drawback concerning demanding, long-term applications such as orthopaedic implants. Here we show that a specific nanostructuration of ceramic oxides can lead to a crack resistance never rea...
