Abnormal Action Potentials Associated with the Shaker Complex Locus of Drosophila [PDF]
Intracellular recordings of action potentials were made from the cervical giant axon in Shaker (Sh) mutants and normal Drosophila. The mutants showed abnormally long delays in repolarization.

Direct Conversion of Fibroblasts to Megakaryocyte Progenitors
Current sources of platelets for transfusion are insufficient and associated with risk of alloimmunization and blood-borne infection. These limitations could be addressed by the generation of autologous megakaryocytes (MKs) derived in vitro from somatic ...

Global analysis of the small RNA transcriptome in different ploidies and genomic combinations of a vertebrate complex--the Squalius alburnoides. [PDF]
The Squalius alburnoides complex (Steindachner) is one of the most intricate hybrid polyploid systems known in vertebrates. In this complex, the constant switch of the genome composition in consecutive generations, very frequently involving a change on ...

Identification of Paternal Uniparental Disomy on Chromosome 22 and a De-novo Deletion on Chromosome 18 in Individuals with Orofacial Clefts [PDF]
Background: Orofacial clefts are the most common malformations of the head and neck region. Genetic and environmental factors have been implicated in the etiology of these traits.Methods: We recently conducted genotyping of individuals from the African ...

Karyotypic determinants of chromosome instability in aneuploid budding yeast. [PDF]
Recent studies in cancer cells and budding yeast demonstrated that aneuploidy, the state of having abnormal chromosome numbers, correlates with elevated chromosome instability (CIN), i.e.

Comparison of two high-throughput semiconductor chip sequencing platforms in noninvasive prenatal testing for Down syndrome in early pregnancy [PDF]
Background: Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) to detect fetal aneuploidy using next-generation sequencing on ion semiconductor platforms has become common. There are several sequencers that can generate sufficient DNA reads for NIPT.

We reviewed the literature concerning the history of determination of the ploidy of human megakaryocytes and its relationship with diseases. The ploidy of rabbit megakaryocytes was analyzed by microspectrophotometry in 1964, and the analysis of the ploidy in human megakaryocytes was first performed in 1968. Presently, microphotometry and flow cytometry

The impact of one-decade ecological disturbance on genetic changes : a study on the brine shrimp Artemia urmiana from Urmia Lake, Iran [PDF]
Urmia Lake, the largest natural habitat of the brine shrimp Artemia urmiana, has progressively desiccated over the last two decades, resulting in a loss of 80% of its surface area and producing thousands of hectares of arid salty land.
