Yes. RNA-seq can be used to quantify transcript levels from a sample. In order to perform useful statistics, one sample is insufficient. Replicates must be used to appropriately power such statistics. The RNA-seq method is an impressive advancement with many applications for studying RNA biology but it does not eliminate biological variability. If the input samples are heavily degraded or have ...

This paper reviews and discusses the literature pertaining to a proposed ecological study of a catastrophic dying of native Metrosideros (Myrtaceae) forest which occurred on windward East Maui in the Hawaiian Islands during the first decade of this century. This dieback event was documented by several workers, most notably H.L. Lyon, and became known as the Maui Forest Trouble. The geology, cli...

Acidovorax sp. strain MR-S7 was isolated from activated sludge in a treatment system for wastewater containing β-lactam antibiotic pollutants. Strain MR-S7 demonstrates multidrug resistance for various types of β-lactam antibiotics at high levels of MIC. The draft genome sequence clarified that strain MR-S7 harbors unique β-lactamase genes.

bluetongue is an infectious disease that primarily affects sheep. but due to serious socioeconomic consequence of it outbreaks on the international trade it has been included in the oie notifiable diseases (list a). during 2007-8, total number of 130 blood samples gathered from suspected sheep to bluetongue disease in seropositive region including khuzestan, kurdistan, fars, ilam and qum provin...

We have resolved B220+ IgM- B-lineage cells in mouse bone marrow into four fractions based on differential cell surface expression of determinants recognized by S7 (leukosialin, CD43), BP-1, and 30F1 (heat stable antigen). Functional differences among these fractions can be correlated with Ig gene rearrangement status. The largest fraction, lacking S7, consists of pre-B cells whereas the others...

Two recently published but independently derived structures, namely the X-ray crystallographic structure of ribosomal protein S7 and the "binding pocket" for this protein in a three-dimensional model of the 16S rRNA, have been correlated with one another. The known rRNA-protein interactions for S7 include a minimum binding site, a number of footprint sites, and two RNA-protein crosslink sites o...

In the paper we investigate Birkhoff’s conditions (Bi) and (Bi∗). We prove that a discrete lattice L satisfies the condition (Bi) (the condition (Bi∗)) if and only if L is a 4-cell lattice not containing a cover-preserving sublattice isomorphic to the lattice S∗ 7 (the lattice S7). As a corollary we obtain a well known result of J. Jakub́ık from [6]. Furthermore, lattices S7 and S ∗ 7 are consid...
