The characterization of a prenatally detected very small (approximately half of 18p-(karyotype: 47,XX,+mar[16]/46,XX[7]) supernumerary marker chromosome (SMC) identified by GTG-banding analysis is described. The marker has been identified as derived from chromosome 8 centromeric material using a combination of different cytogenetic (GTG-, NOR-, CBG banding), molecular cytogenetic (24 colour-flu...

cDNA sequence data from E. coli phages, for which complete genome sequences are known, have been analysed, From this analysis thirteen triplets have been identified as markers to distinguish protein-coding frames from fortuitous open reading frames. The region of -18 to +18 nucleotides around ATG/GTG, has been analysed and used to identify initiator codons from internal ATG/GTG. With the aid of...

introduction: autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (adpkd) is one of the most common genetic kidney disorders with the incidence of 1 in 1,000 births. adpkd is genetically heterogeneous with two genes identified: pkd1 (16p13.3, 46 exons) and pkd2 (4q21, 15 exons). eighty five percent of the patients with adpkd have at least one mutation in the pkd1 gene. genetic studies have demonstrate...

Microdissection and fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) were used to elucidate the nature of a complex chromosome translocation, after GTG banding failed in the complete characterisation of the structural rearrangement between chromosomes 6 and 12. These chromosomes were painted with chromosome specific paints and one of the chromosome regions involved in the translocation was isolated by...

abnormalities [1-3]. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis was carried out using TUPLE region probe (from Kreatech Diagnostics, Netherland) on metaphase and interphase cells. Presence of two intact signals on chromosome 22 ruled out 22q11.2 deletion. Thus, chromosomal analysis was carried out using the GTG-banding technique and the patient was found to be tetrasomy for sex chromoso...

Federated Learning (FL) bridges the gap between collaborative machine learning and preserving data privacy. To sustain long-term operation of an FL ecosystem, it is important to attract high-quality owners with appropriate incentive schemes. As building block such schemes, essential fairly evaluate participants’ contribution performance final model without exposing their private data. Shapley V...

There is an error in the Conclusions section of the manuscript. The entire Conclusions section was not included. The Conclusions section should read: In this work, nine different classifiers were used for ischemic stroke lesion segmentation from brain MRI images and evaluated using different ground truth sets and scenarios. Based on the results of this study, it seems justified to recommend RDF...

Morphological and cultural characteristics, as well as biochemical properties, are the main criteria used in fungal taxonomy and in the standard description of fungi species. Sometimes, however, this criterion is difficult to apply due to fungal phenotypic variations. This is particularly true in the genus Penicillium. The aims of this work were to determine (GTG)5 microsatellite sequence in po...
