The double exponential model t t M T Be Ae vl μ μ − − + = was fitted to log10(vl) data from day 0 to day 28 post ART. When vl was undetectable it was replaced with the limit of detection (80 copies per ml), indicated by the dashed line in Figure S1 and S2. Fits were performed by nonlinear least squares regression, confidence intervals were calculated by bootstrapping the cases and trimming the ...

There are several downstream analysis goals for which RNA-seq is well suited. Main categories of these are described briefly below with reference to supporting materials. Refer to S2 Table for specific tools relevant to many of these areas. For each application, a basic data recommendation is provided. It is important to remember that these are simply examples. In addition to the varying demand...

The frequency of Helicobacter pylori infection in population can depend on the organism resistance, genetic condition, and bacterial strains virulence. A vacA gene, of mosaic structure, which encodes vacuolating cytotoxin is one of the known genes of H. pylori. The existence of several different genotypes of s and m regions enables the formation of numerous combinations of vacA gene genome. The...

Rice is a model plant species for the study of cellulose biosynthesis. We isolated a mutant, S1-24, from ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS)-treated plants of the japonica rice cultivar, Nipponbare. The mutant exhibited brittle culms and other pleiotropic phenotypes such as dwarfism and partial sterility. The brittle culms resulted from reduced mechanical strength due to a defect in thickening of the ...

The flightless locus of Drosophila melanogaster has been analyzed at the genetic, molecular, ultrastructural and comparative crystallographic levels. The gene encodes a single transcript encoding a protein consisting of a leucine-rich amino terminal half and a carboxyterminal half with high sequence similarity to gelsolin. We determined the genomic sequence of the flightless landscape, the brea...

The 5' end or alpha-S1 casein promoter has a significant role in milk protein gene expression. The understanding of the translation process of alpha-S1 casein mutants will provide us an opportunity to make the best selection in livestock providing more proteins in milk. Blood samples were taken from three hundred of Naeinian goats and sheep, and DNA extraction was done using modified salting ou...

We demonstrate that S1 nuclease converts supercoiled plasmid DNA to unit-length, linear dsDNA through the creation of a single, double-stranded break in a plasmid molecule. These double-stranded breaks occur not only in the origin of replication near inverted repeats but also at a wide variety of locations throughout the plasmid. S1 nuclease exhibits this activity under conditions typically emp...

The protein coding assignments for each of the S genes of the avian reovirus S1133 have been determined. In vitro translation of RNA derived from individual S dsRNA genome segments demonstrated that the largest S gene, S1, codes for the smallest protein, sigma C; the S2 for sigma A; the S3 gene for sigma C; and the S4 gene for sigma NS. No other gene products could be identified. By examination...

The purpose of this study was to characterize the complete cDNA sequence encoding the rabbit smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (MHC) and determine the exon/intron organization at the 5' end of the corresponding gene. The full-length cDNA sequence of 6644 base pairs encoding a protein of 1972 amino acids was generated from two cDNA clones: PBRUC1 (approximately 6.3 kilobases), isolated from a rab...
