The HapMap Web site at http://www.hapmap.org is the primary portal to genotype data produced as part of the International Haplotype Map Project. In phase I of the project, >1.1 million SNPs were genotyped in 270 individuals from four worldwide populations. The HapMap Web site provides researchers with a number of tools that allow them to analyze the data as well as download data for local analy...

Using insertional mutagenesis, we have disrupted the RNase III gene, rnc, of the actinomycin-producing streptomycete, Streptomyces antibioticus. Disruption was verified by Southern blotting. The resulting strain grows more vigorously than its parent on actinomycin production medium but produces significantly lower levels of actinomycin. Complementation of the rnc disruption with the wild-type r...

In 2000 CANGAROO-II 7m telescope has been improved to a 10m telescope, and the CANGAROO-III project has been begun. The CANGAROO-III is a project to study celestial gamma rays above 0.1 TeV with an array of four 10m Imaging Air Cerenkov T elescopes (IACTs) in the southern hemisphere. Here we report on the status of CANGAROO-III project including the observations using the rst telescope

The Generic Model Organism System Database Project (GMOD) seeks to develop reusable software components for model organism system databases. In this paper we describe the Generic Genome Browser (GBrowse), a Web-based application for displaying genomic annotations and other features. For the end user, features of the browser include the ability to scroll and zoom through arbitrary regions of a g...

The preparation of Os2(TiPB)4Cl2 (1; TiPB = 2,4,6-triisopropylbenzoate) and Os2(TiPB)2(OAc)2Cl2 (2) by carboxylate exchange reactions with Os2(OAc)4Cl2 is reported. The structure of 1 has been determined by single-crystal X-ray studies, and shows a paddlewheel arrangement of the ligands about the triply bonded diosmium core. Both compounds have magnetic moments at room temperature that are cons...

BACKGROUND Concerns over health information on the Internet have generated efforts to enhance credibility markers; yet how users actually assess the credibility of online health information is largely unknown. OBJECTIVE This study set out to (1) establish a parsimonious and valid questionnaire instrument to measure credibility of Internet health information by drawing on various previous meas...

A statistical analyses of comparisons between POAM III version 4.0 retrievals and measurements from HALOE (version 19) and SAGE II (version 6.2) and ozonesondes have been performed. In addition, when available, limited numbers of comparisons with aircraft-based instruments have been performed. For statistical analyses with correlative satellite data, coincidence criteria were 500 km and 2 hours...

OBJECTIVES Cervical cancer (CC) incidence and mortality among young women have been increasing in Japan. To develop effective measures to combat this, we assessed the feasibility of using a social networking site (SNS) to recruit a representative sample of young women to conduct a knowledge and attitude study about CC prevention via an internet-based questionnaire. METHODS From July 2012 to M...

ABSTRACT The reduction of the nitride-bridged diuranium(IV) complex Cs[{U(OSi(OtBu)3)3}2(μ-N)]affords the first example of a uranium nitride complex containing uranium in the +III oxidation state. Two nitride-bridged complexes containing the heterometallic fragments Cs2[U(III---)-N-(---U(IV)] and Cs3[U(III---)-N-(---U(III)] have been crystallographically characterized. The presence of two or th...
