Human land use, such as livestock grazing, can have profound yet varied effects on wildlife interacting within common ecosystems, yet our understanding of land-use effects is often generalized from short-term, local studies that may not correspond with trends at broader scales. Here we used public land records to characterize livestock grazing across Wyoming, USA, and we used Greater Sage-grous...

MOTIVATION SAGE (Serial Analysis of Gene Expression) can be used to estimate the number of unique transcripts in a transcriptome. A simple estimator that corrects for sequencing and sampling errors was applied to a SAGE library (137 832 tags) obtained from mouse embryonic stem cells, and also to Monte Carlo simulated libraries generated using assumed distributions of 'true' expression levels co...

Despite the poor prognosis of ovarian cancer and the importance of early diagnosis, there are no reliable noninvasive biomarkers for detection in the early stages of disease. Therefore, to identify novel ovarian cancer markers with potential utility in early-stage screening protocols, we have undertaken an unbiased and comprehensive analysis of gene expression in primary ovarian tumors and norm...

Phytomanagement uses plants and soil conditioners to create value on contaminated land while minimizing environmental risk. This work was carried out a metal(loid)-contaminated site aimed at assessing the suitability of Salvia sclarea L. (sage) Coriandrum sativum (coriander) combined with an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) inoculant immobilize metal(loid)s produce essential oils (EO). The e...

background: deodorant products prevent the growth and activity of the degrading apocrine gland bacteria living in the armpit. common antibacterial agents in the market like triclosan and aluminum salts, in spite of their suitable antibacterial eff ects, increase the risk of alzheimer’s disease, breast and prostate cancers or induce contact dermatitis. th erefore, plant extracts possessing ant...
