چکیده
We aim at finding all the mobile elements in a genome and understanding their dynamic behavior. Comparative genomics of closely related organisms can provide the data for this kind of investigation. The comparison task requires a huge amount of computational resources, which in our approach we alleviate by exploiting the high similarity between homologous chromosomes of different strains of the same species. Our case study is for RefSeq and two other strains of S. cerevisiæ. Our fast algorithm, called REGENDER, is driven by data analysis. We found that almost all the chromosomes are composed by resident genome (more than 90% is conserved). Most importantly, the inspection of the non-conserved regions revealed that these are putative mobile elements, thus confirming that our method is useful to quickly find mobile elements. The software tool REGENDER is available online at http://www.di.unipi.it/∼gbattag/regender.

Comparing various attributes of prolactin hormones in different species: application of bioinformatics tools
Prolactin is mainly secreted by the anterior pituitary and is able to stimulate mammary gland development and lactation in mammalians. Although prolactins share a common ancestral gene encoding, they show species specific characteristics and their efficiency may be different in various mammals. The importance of protein structures of all sequences of this hormone have been studied by various bi...

The aim of this study was to find the optimal conditions of a newly isolated Streptomyces strain JRS 19. Screening for keratinase producing bacteria and their keratinase production were investigated. The keratinase produced by the isolate was purified by chromatographic techniques and the optimum pH maintained was 7.0 and maintained at different temperatures Viz., 20ºC, 25ºC, 30ºC, 35ºC and 40º...
