Gene duplication and loss are major sources of genetic polymorphism in populations, and are important forces shaping the evolution of genome content and organization. We have reconstructed the origin and history of a 127-kbp segmental duplication, R2d, in the house mouse (Mus musculus). R2d contains a single protein-coding gene, Cwc22 De novo assembly of both the ancestral (R2d1) and the derive...

Partial duplication of the long arm of chromosome 1 has been described in more than 200 patients. In most of these cases, the duplication is the result of an unbalanced segregation of a parental balanced translocation. Patients with duplications of 1q are therefore monosomic for the other chromosomal material involved in the translocation. The phenotypic result of such chromosomal abnormalities...

BACKGROUND Patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) usually have severe and fatal symptoms. At present, there is no effective treatment for DMD, thus it is very important to avoid the birth of children with DMD by effective prenatal diagnosis. We identified a de novo DMD gene mutation in a Chinese family, and make a prenatal diagnosis. METHODS First, multiplex ligation-dependent probe ...

We show how to build cheap and large CAMs, or CLAMs, using flash memory. These CLAMs are targeted at an emerging class of networking applications that require massive indexes running into a hundred GB or more, with items been inserted, updated and looked up at a rapid rate. Examples of such applications include WAN optimizers, data de-duplication, network monitoring, and traffic analyzers. For ...

conclusions in conclusion, chit1 24 bp duplication might not be a candidate gene for susceptibility to ptb. larger studies are necessary to confirm these findings in various populations. results homozygous wild type, heterozygous and homozygous mutant frequencies of chit1 24 bp duplication polymorphism were 43.9%, 43.9% and 12.2% in controls and 42.8%, 45.1% and 12.1% in ptb patients. we found ...

objective(s): umbilical cord blood is a good source of the mesenchymal stem cells that can be banked, expanded and used in regenerative medicine.  the objective of this study was to test whether amniotic membrane extract, as a rich source of growth factors such as basic-fibroblast growth factor, can promote the proliferation potential of the umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. materials and ...

PURPOSE This article reports on a systematic review and meta-analysis of the effects of spaced retrieval training (SRT) on semantic memory in people with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) or related disorder. METHOD An initial systematic database search identified 454 potential studies. After screening and de-duplication, 35 studies that used SRT with the population of interest remained. The authors u...
