A 56 days grow-out experiment with three protein levels (35, 40 and 45%) and three lipid levels (5, 10 and 15%) was conducted to evaluate the optimum protein and lipid ratio for Oriental River Prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense). Four hundred and five prawns, with mean (± SD) weight of 1.40 ± 0.04 g were distributed in 27 glass aquaria and were fed four times daily. Results showed that interaction...

As the amount of biological research literature increases, finding information is becoming a daunting task. Since machine learning techniques could alleviate this problem, we propose a machine learning framework to identify protein-protein interaction sentences from research papers. This machine learning technique is one of the basic components needed to automatically extract biological informa...

Background: Male infertility has many causes, including genetic infertility. The NOP2/Sun domain family, member7 (Nsun7) gene, which encodes putative methyltransferase Nsun7, has a role in sperm motility. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of the T26248G polymorphism on Nsun7 protein function and its role in male infertility. Materials and Methods: Semen samples were col...

background: the ability of tumour suppressor protein p53 (p53) to regulate cell cycle processes can be modulated by hepatitis b virus (hbv). while preliminary evidences indicates the involvement of protein-x of hbv (hbx) in altering p53 dna binding, no further data have been accumulated for the significance of serum p53 in chronic hepatitis b virus infected patients. methods: 72 non-cirrhotic a...
