Mendel laws of inheritance can be cheated by Meiotic Drive Elements (MDs), complex nuclear genetic loci found in various eukaryotic genomes and distorting segregation in their favor. Here, we identify and characterize in the model fungus Podospora anserina Spok1 and Spok2, two MDs known as Spore Killers. We show that they are related genes with both spore-killing distorter and spore-protecting ...
متن کاملLonely Arginine Seeks Friendly Environment
The recent perspectives on membrane protein insertion, protein–bilayer interactions, and amino acid side hydrophobicity (J. Gen.

Though seemingly “solved” long ago, in recent years this issue has ...

For this purpose different taxonomies of negation in early child language are analysed in order to show the large variety of communicative functions that these different types of negation have.
