RESOLVING DECONVOLUTION AMBIGUITY IN GENE ALTERNATIVE SPLICING

Resolving deconvolution ambiguity in gene alternative splicing

Abstract Background For many gene structures it is impossible to resolve intensity data uniquely to establish abundances of splice variants.This was empirically noted by Wang et al.in which it Tents was called a "degeneracy problem".The ambiguity results from an ill-posed problem where additional information is needed in order to obtain an unique a

Adaptive Mistranslation Accelerates the Evolution of Fluconazole Resistance and Induces Major Genomic and Gene Expression Alterations in Candida albicans

ABSTRACT Regulated erroneous protein translation (adaptive mistranslation) increases proteome diversity and produces advantageous phenotypic variability in the human pathogen Candida albicans.It also increases fitness in the presence of fluconazole, but the underlying molecular mechanism is not understood.To address this question, we evolved hyperm

Local Drug Delivery for the Treatment of Neurotology Disorders

Neurotology disorders such as vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss affect a significant proportion of the population (estimated 39 million in the United States with moderate to severe symptoms).Yet no pharmacological treatments have been developed, in part due to limitations in effective drug delivery to the anatomically protected Yoto Headphones in

Effect of Aluminum on Microstructure and High-Temperature Oxidation Resistance of Austenitic Heat-Resistant Steel

The ZG40Cr20Ni20Alx (x = 0, 1.76, 3.45, and 5.34) heat-resistant steel has been newly developed on the basis of HK40 steel for aggressive oxidizing environments.The results reveal that the Al greatly enhances the oxidation resistance of ZG40Cr20Ni20 steel at high temperatures.The mass gain of ZG40Cr20Ni20 upon oxidation at 1100 °C for 480 h is
