Accelerated Evolution of the ASPM Gene Controlling Brain Size Begins Prior to Human Brain Expansion [PDF]
Primary microcephaly (MCPH) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by global reduction in cerebral cortical volume. The microcephalic brain has a volume comparable to that of early hominids, raising the possibility that some MCPH genes may have ...

Molecular cloning of the genome of human spumaretrovirus [PDF]
DNA of human spumaretrovirus (HSRV) was cloned from both cDNA and from viral DNA into phage lambda and bacterial plasmid vectors. The recombinant plasmids harboring viral DNA were characterized by Southern blot hybridization and restriction mapping. Physical maps were constructed from cDNA and found to be colinear with the restriction maps obtained ...

Recombination-assisted megaprimer (RAM) cloning
No molecular cloning technique is considered universally reliable, and many suffer from being too laborious, complex, or expensive. Restriction-free cloning is among the simplest, most rapid, and cost-effective methods, but does not always provide ...

Ion channels: structural basis for function and disease. [PDF]
Ion channels are ubiquitous proteins that mediate nervous and muscular function, rapid transmembrane signaling events, and ionic and fluid balance. The cloning of genes encoding ion channels has led to major strides in understanding the mechanistic basis

Mapping Topics and Topic Bursts in PNAS [PDF]
Scientific research is highly dynamic. New areas of science continually evolve;others gain or lose importance, merge or split. Due to the steady increase in the number of scientific publications it is hard to keep an overview of the structure and dynamic

Efficient Parallel Algorithm for Statistical Ion Track Simulations in Crystalline Materials
We present an efficient parallel algorithm for statistical Molecular Dynamics simulations of ion tracks in solids. The method is based on the Rare Event Enhanced Domain following Molecular Dynamics (REED-MD) algorithm, which has been successfully applied
