Grass Snakes (Natrix natrix) as a Reservoir of Alaria alata and Other Parasites
The aim of the study was to investigate the occurrence of Alaria alata (Goeze, 1782) in fifty-one grass snakes (Natrix natrix) collected in Gostynińsko-Włocławski Landscape Park. Each snake was tested for the presence of A.

Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) is a powerful technique to quantify gene expression. To standardize gene expression studies and obtain more accurate qRT-PCR analysis, normalization relative to consistently expressed housekeeping genes (HKGs) is ...

Modeling of Ribosome Dynamics on a ds-mRNA under an External Load [PDF]
Protein molecules in cells are synthesized by macromolecular machines called ribosomes. According to recent experimental data, we reduce the complexity of the ribosome and propose a model to express its activity in six main states. Using our model, we study the translation rate in different biological relevant situations in the presence of external ...

Selection and evaluation of potential reference genes for gene expression analysis in Avena fatua
Eight commonly used candidate reference genes, 18S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) (18S), 28S rRNA (28S), actin (ACT), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), elongation factor 1 alpha (EF1α), ribosomal protein L7 (RPL7), Alpha-tubulin (α-TUB), and TATA ...

Cleavage of adenovirus messenger RNA and of 28S and 18S ribosomal RNA by RNase III. [PDF]
Escherichia coli ribonuclease III cleaves adenovirus messenger RNA and mammalian 28S and 18S ribosomal RNA. Fragmentation is not random, but in each case a specific collection of products is generated. This points to the potential use of the enzyme as a tool for specific fragmentation of RNA. Cleavage by RNase III abolishes the capability of adenovirus

Traffic of interacting ribosomes: effects of single-machine mechano-chemistry on protein synthesis [PDF]
Many ribosomes simultaneously move on the same messenger RNA (mRNA), each separately synthesizing the protein coded by the mRNA. Earlier models of ribosome traffic represent each ribosome by a ``self-propelled particle'' and capture the dynamics by an extension of the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP).

Ribosomal Dysfunction Is a Common Pathomechanism in Different Forms of Trichothiodystrophy
Mutations in a broad variety of genes can provoke the severe childhood disorder trichothiodystrophy (TTD) that is classified as a DNA repair disease or a transcription syndrome of RNA polymerase II.

A parsimonay analysis of eukaryotic small subunit ribosomal RNA (″18 S″) sequences [PDF]
Using the principles of Felsenstein's DNA parsimony analysis program (package PHYLIP 3.2), a program with the capacity to handle data sets of the magnitude of ss rRNA has been developed. With this program we applied an heuristic approach to 83 s rRNA sequences from the Antwerp data bank, compared along 4230 positions of their alignment.

Evaluating RNA status for RT-PCR in extracts of postmortem human brain tissue
Total RNA was extracted from 105 individual postmortem human brain samples representing a range of postmortem conditions. To improve upon parameters currently used to screen for RNA quality, electropherogram patterns generated by the Agilent Bioanalyzer ...
