Metallothioneins are low-molecular-weight proteins capable of covalently binding heavy metal ions due to the presence of many cysteine residues in their sequences. We analyzed the predicted amino acid sequences of 19 metallothionein (7 from Arabidopsis thaliana and 12 from Oryza sativa) and their promoter sequences in silico in order to determine the potential regulatory cis-elements present in...

The transcriptome of triangle sail mussel Hyriopsis cumingii (Lea) using Illumina paired-end sequencing technology was conducted and analyzed. Equal quantities of total RNA isolated from six tissues, including gonads, hepatopancreas, foot, mantel, gills and adductor muscles, were pooled to construct a cDNA library. A total of 58.09 million clean reads with 98.48 % Q20 bases were generated. Clus...

although investigating the factors that influence test scores is important, a majority of stakeholders show a paucity of attention towards individual learner differences due to having large classes of l2 learners. this study sought to explore the possible effect of working memory and cognitive style on l2 learners’ metaphorical test performance. the study was conducted in 2 phases. the first ph...

A scant few weeks ago disentanglement of effects identified in purely categorical designs in which all variables are categorical, including notoriously-complex rectangular categorical designs (RCDs) in which variables have a different number of response categories, was poorly understood. However, univariate and multivariate optimal (“maximum-accuracy”) statistical methods, specifically UniODA a...
