Genetics of Somatic Mammalian Cells: Demonstration of a Human Esterase Activator Gene Linked to the AdeB Gene [PDF]
Prototrophic hybrids formed from an adenine-requiring Chinese hamster cell and human fibroblasts uniformly display new esterase activity that differs from that of either parental cell in electrophoretic mobility and substrate specificity.

MPF Regulates Oocyte and Embryo Development During Parthenogenesis Induction in Silkworm, <i>Bombyx mori</i>. [PDF]
In most species, oocytes are arrested at the prophase or metaphase of meiosis I and require sperm-derived or external stimuli to resume meiosis. Maturation-promoting factor (MPF) is an oocyte maturation factor composing the catalytic subunit Cdc2 and the

Unraveling the impact of blood RANKL and OPG levels on Alzheimer's disease: Independent of bone mineral density and inflammation. [PDF]
INTRODUCTION Observational studies have revealed a close relationship between reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. The receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa‐B ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) system, pivotal ...

Active information requirements for fixation on the Wright-Fisher model of population genetics [PDF]
In the context of population genetics, active information can be extended to measure the change of information of a given event (e.g., fixation of an allele) from a neutral model in which only genetic drift is taken into account to a non-neutral model that includes other sources of frequency variation (e.g., selection and mutation).

Targeted mutagenesis in the malaria mosquito using TALE nucleases. [PDF]
Anopheles gambiae, the main mosquito vector of human malaria, is a challenging organism to manipulate genetically. As a consequence, reverse genetics studies in this disease vector have been largely limited to RNA interference experiments.

Recent advances in genetically modified large-animal models of human diseases
Large-animal models show greater advantages than rodents in recapitulating human genetic diseases, primarily because of their higher similarity to humans in terms of anatomy, physiology and genetics.
