Dscam1 in Pancrustacean Immunity: Current Status and a Look to the Future
Frontiers in Immunology, 2017 The Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule 1 (Dscam1) gene is an extraordinary example of diversity: by combining alternatively spliced exons, thousands of isoforms can be produced from just one gene. So far, such diversity in this gene has only been found

Sterol composition of shellfish species commonly consumed in the United States
Food & Nutrition Research, 2012 Background: Shellfish can be a component of a healthy diet due to a low fat and high protein content, but the cholesterol content of some species is often cited as a reason to limit their consumption. Data on levels of non-cholesterol sterols in commonly
