a study on thermodynamic models for simulation of 1,3 butadiene purification columns
attempts have been made to study the thermodynamic behavior of 1,3 butadiene purification columns with the aim of retrofitting those columns to more energy efficient separation schemes. 1,3 butadiene is purified in two columns in series through being separated from methyl acetylene and 1,2 butadiene in the first and second column respectively. comparisons have been made among different therm...
Discrete subcellular partitioning of human retrotransposon RNAs despite a common mechanism of genome insertion.
Despite the immense significance retrotransposons have had for genome evolution much about their biology is unknown, including the processes of forming their ribonucleoprotein (RNP) particles and transporting them about the cell. Suppression of retrotransposon expression, together with the presence of retrotransposon sequence within numerous mRNAs, makes tracking endogenous L1 RNP particles in ...
متن کاملRecombination between genes located on nonhomologous chromosomes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
We constructed strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that contained two different mutant alleles of either the leu2 gene or the ura3 gene. These repeated genes were located on chromosomes V and XII and the two leu2- alleles were located on chromosomes III and XII. Genetic interactions between the two mutant copies of a gene were detected by the generation of either Leu+ or Ura+ revertants. Both s...
متن کاملDatabase documentation of retrotransposon insertion polymorphisms.
Retrotransposons constitute more than 40 percent of the human genome with L1, Alu, SVA, and HERVs known to remain active in transposition. Retrotransposition contribute to genetic diversity in the form of retrotransposon insertion polymorphism (RIP) that is defined as the presence or absence of a retrotransposon insertion among human populations at a specific genomic location. So far close to 5...
متن کاملHomogenization of Chromosomes Revealed by Oligonucleotide-Stickiness
Genomic DNA contains sequences that are relics of evolution together with functional protein sequences and regulatory operands. The mutual relationship of chromosomes that constitute the genome is of interest from the viewpoint of evolution as well as from that of systems biology. Chromosome origin, the frequency of chromosomal alteration, and the nature of these alterations can be addressed by...
