this experiment was conducted with the objective of evaluating the performance sage (salvia officinalis l.) in different agroecology of ethiopia for morpho-agronomic and chemical traits at wondo genet, hawassa, qoqa and holleta for two years from 2011/2012 to 2012/2013 cropping seasons. data on plant height, branch number/plant, fresh leaf weight/plant, fresh stem weight/plant, above ground bio...

We have analyzed the pattern of gene expression in human primary CD34(+) stem/progenitor cells. We identified 42,399 unique serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) tags among 106,021 SAGE tags collected from 2.5 x 10(6) CD34(+) cells purified from bone marrow. Of these unique SAGE tags, 21,546 matched known expressed sequences, including 3,687 known genes, and 20,854 were novel without a matc...

The SAGE (serial analysis of gene expression) method is sensitive at detecting the lower abundance transcripts. More than a third of human SAGE tags identified are novel representing the low abundance unknown transcripts. Using the GLGI method (generation of longer 3' EST from SAGE tag for gene identification), we converted 1009 low-copy, human X chromosome-specific SAGE tags into 10210 3' ESTs...

Background: Common sage (Salvia officinalis) is a popular culinary and medicinal herb. A literature survey has revealed that sage oils can vary widely in their chemical compositions. The purpose of this study was to examine sage essential oil from different sources/origins and to define the possible chemotypes of sage oil. Methods: Three different samples of sage leaf essential oil have been ob...

BACKGROUND The efficacy of many preparations for topical use in herpes infections have remained rather disappointing. The development of new antiviral drugs, especially herbal preparations, thus remains desirable. In a screening study with plant extracts, a rhubarb root extract and a sage extract showed a promising activity. OBJECTIVE The efficacy of a combined topical preparation with rhubar...

background: the aim of this study was to examine the renoprotective effect of hydro alcoholic sage (salvia officinalis: so) leaves extract against gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. methods: in this experimental study forty male sprague dawley rats weighing 200-300 g were randomly divided into 5 groups; (1) the rats without treatment (control), (2) intraperitoneally injected with normal...

UNLABELLED Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) is a powerful quantification technique for gene expression data. The huge amount of tag data in SAGE libraries of samples is difficult to analyze with current SAGE analysis tools. Data is often not provided in a biologically significant way for cross-analysis and -comparison, thus limiting its application. Hence, an integrated software platfo...
