Cytosine methylation, a common form of DNA modification that antagonizes transcription, is found at transposons and repeats in vertebrates, plants and fungi. Here we have mapped DNA methylation in the entire Arabidopsis thaliana genome at high resolution. DNA methylation covers transposons and is present within a large fraction of A. thaliana genes. Methylation within genes is conspicuously bia...

objective: there is longstanding experimental and clinical evidence that supports the idea that replacement of dopaminergic (daergic) neurons can ameliorate functional disabilities of parkinson’s disease (pd). the purpose of the present study is to examine the efficacy of transplantation of rat bone marrow stromal cell (bmscs)-derived tyrosine hydroxylase-positive (th+) cells induced by depreny...

iran is an active seismic region. earthquake damage is commonly controlled by three interacting factors including source and path characteristics, local geological and geotechnical conditions and type of the structures. obviously, all of this would require analysis and presentation of a large amount of geological, seismological and geotechnical data. in this paper, nonlinear geotechnical seismi...

Lactoferrin (Lf) is an iron-binding multi-functional glycoprotein which has numerous physiological functions such as iron transportation, anti-microbial activity and immune response. In this study, different in silico approaches were exploited to investigate Lf protein properties in a number of mammalian species. Results showed that the iron-binding site, DNA and RNA-binding sites, signal pepti...

SUMMARY The within-site variability in site response is the randomness at a given from different earthquakes and treated as aleatory current seismic hazard/risk analyses. In this study, we investigate single-station linear K-NET KiK-net stations Japan using large number of earthquake recordings. We found that standard deviation horizontal-to-vertical Fourier spectral ratio individual sites, (HV...
