Alkane biosynthesis gene expression and its increased production in recombinant cyanobacteria
The transcription and mRNA structures of the alkane biosynthesis genes ado/aar were analysed in the representative cyanobacteria PCC 6803 and SK1‐2‐1, which produce C17H36 and C15H32, respectively. PCC 6803 transconjugants carrying these genes showed a 1.8‐ to 2.3‐fold increase in C17H36 production.

Novel Alanyl-tRNA Synthetase 2 Pathogenic Variants in Leukodystrophies
The white matter disease spectrum is associated with many genetic diseases, including AARS2, CADASIL, ALD, and others. In this study, to determine the novel alanyl-tRNA synthetase 2 mutation implicated in white matter disease, several families with an ...

Fixation of mutators in asexual populations: the role of genetic drift and epistasis [PDF]
We study the evolutionary dynamics of an asexual population of nonmutators and mutators on a class of epistatic fitness landscapes. We consider the situation in which all mutations are deleterious and mutators are produced from nonmutators continually at a constant rate.

Etoposide, a topoisomerase II inhibitor, reduces O‐GlcNAcylation in HepG2 liver cancer cells. Further inhibition of O‐GlcNAc transferase by OSMI‐1 enhanced etoposide‐induced apoptosis, lowering the IC50 for viability and increasing the EC50 for cytotoxicity.

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase homozygous mutation in a young boy with cerebellar infarction
Posterior circulation vascular occlusive disease in children is a rare and uncommonly reported event. Among the numerous risk factors, the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) mutation is considered to be a common genetic cause of thrombosis in ...

Maximum likelihood (ML) estimators for scaled mutation parameters with a strand symmetric mutation model in equilibrium [PDF]
With the multiallelic parent-independent mutation-drift model, the equilibrium proportions of alleles are known to be Dirichlet distributed. A special case is the biallelic model, in which the proportions are beta distributed. A sample taken from these models is then Dirichlet-multinomially or beta-binomially distributed, respectively.

Darier-White disease in siblings responding to isotretinoin
Darier-White disease (keratosis follicularis) is a rare disorder of keratinization involving the epidermis, mucous membranes, and nails. It is said to occur as a result of mutation in the ATP2A2 gene located on chromosome 12q23-24.1.
