background: gossypium thurberi is a wild diploid species that has been used to improve cultivated allotetraploid cotton. g. thurberi belongs to d genome, which is an important wild bio-source for the cotton breeding and genetic research. to a certain degree, chloroplast dna sequence information are a versatile tool for species identification and phylogenetic implications in plants. different ch...

the combustion of sulfur-rich fossil fuels leads to the release of acid rain-causing sulfurdioxide into the environment. the aim of this study was to enhance the efficiency of biodesulfurizationusing pseudomonas aeruginosa through the duplication of the dsz cluster in this organism. one copy ofthe dsz cluster was inserted by a tri-parental mating method into the chromosome of pseudomonasaerugin...

we report a case of choroidal neovascularization (cnv) secondary to methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (mthfr) gene mutation in a 20-year-old male patient with hypopituitarism. treatment with three consecutive injections of intravitreal ranibizumab (anti-vascular endothelial growth factor) resulted in significant improvement of the patient’s vision and the appearance of the macula. a search ...

Low serum salivary amylase levels have been associated with a range of metabolic abnormalities, including obesity and insulin resistance. We recently suggested that a low copy number at the AMY1 gene, associated with lower enzyme levels, also increases susceptibility to obesity. To advance our understanding of the effect of AMY1 copy number variation on metabolism, we compared the metabolomic s...

A DNA fragment of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with high homology to the acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) synthetase genes of Aspergillus nidulans and Neurospora crassa has been cloned, sequenced and mapped to chromosome I. It contains an open reading frame of 2139 nucleotides, encoding a predicted gene product of 79.2 kDa. In contrast to its ascomycete homologs, there are no introns in the coding se...
