ARIOUS structural and physiological barriers to recombination in species Vhyb rids often impose rigorous limitations upon the extent to which the characters of one species may be combined with those of another. Among such barriers structural and genic imbalance resulting in the differential elimination of gametes and zygotes of recombination types has often been mentioned (ANDERSON 1939; DEMPST...

Programmed ribosomal frameshifting produces alternative proteins from a single transcript. -1 frameshifting occurs on Escherichia coli's dnaX mRNA containing a slippery sequence AAAAAAG and peripheral mRNA structural barriers. Here, we reveal hidden aspects of the frameshifting process, including its exact location on the mRNA and its timing within the translation cycle. Mass spectrometry of tr...

Four Paradigmatic views that explain shortcomings of knowledge management systems (KMS) in literature are identified: Organizazional barriers, codification vs. personalization, importance of a clear working definition of knowledge and impossibility to manage knowledge or certain forms of it. Their validity is analyzed by comparing them to a case study in which shortcomings of two KMS in an inte...
