Some drugs that regulate estrogen are currently used as therapy for endometriosis. However, these medical treatments have significant side effects and patients who hope to become pregnant cannot overcome infertility. To compare morphological alterations and clinical symptoms, revised American Fertility Society (r-AFS) scores were compared between patients with and without leukotriene receptor a...

Retroviruses and many retrotransposons are flanked by sequence repeats called long terminal repeats (LTRs). These sequences contain a promoter region, which is active in the 5' LTR, and transcription termination signals, which are active in the LTR copy present at the 3' end. A section in the middle of the LTR, called Redundancy region, occurs at both ends of the mRNA. Here we show that in the ...

In this paper, we address data reconciliation in peer-to-peer (P2P) collaborative applications. We propose P2P-LTR (Logging and Timestamping for Reconciliation) which provides P2P logging and timestamping services for P2P reconciliation over a distributed hash table (DHT). While updating at collaborating peers, updates are timestamped and stored in a highly available P2P log. During reconciliat...

The hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) compartment is composed of long-term reconstituting (LTR) and short-term reconstituting (STR) stem cells. LTR HSC can reconstitute the hematopoietic system for life, whereas STR HSC can sustain hematopoiesis for only a few weeks in the mouse. Several excellent gene expression profiles have been obtained of the total hematopoietic stem cell population. We have u...

G-quadruplexes are four-stranded conformations of nucleic acids that act as cellular epigenetic regulators. A dynamic G-quadruplex forming region in the HIV-1 LTR promoter represses HIV-1 transcription when in the folded conformation. This activity is enhanced by nucleolin, which induces and stabilizes the HIV-1 LTR G-quadruplexes. In this work by a combined pull-down/mass spectrometry approach...

Early during retroviral infection, a fraction of the linear reverse-transcribed viral DNA genomes become circularized by cellular enzymes, thereby inactivating the genomes for further replication. Prominent circular DNA forms include 2-long-terminal repeat (LTR) circles, made by DNA end joining, and 1-LTR circles, produced in part by homologous recombination. These reactions provide a convenien...

HIV-infected individuals currently cannot be completely cured because existing antiviral therapy regimens do not address HIV provirus DNA, flanked by long terminal repeats (LTRs), already integrated into host genome. Here, we present a possible alternative therapeutic approach to specifically and directly mediate deletion of the integrated full-length HIV provirus from infected and latently inf...

To understand long terminal repeat (LTR)-retrotransposon copy number dynamics, Ty1 elements were reintroduced into a "Ty-less" Saccharomyces strain where elements had been lost by LTR-LTR recombination. Repopulated strains exhibited alterations in chromosome size that were associated with Ty1 insertions, but did not become genetically isolated. The rates of element gain and loss under genetic a...

MOTIVATION Long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons constitute a substantial fraction of most eukaryotic genomes and are believed to have a significant impact on genome structure and function. Conventional methods used to search for LTR retrotransposons in genome databases are labor intensive. We present an efficient, reliable and automated method to identify and analyze members of this impo...
