Minimotif Miner (MnM) is a database and web system for analyzing short functional peptide motifs, termed minimotifs. We present an update to MnM growing the database from ∼300 000 to >1 000 000 minimotif consensus sequences and instances. This growth comes largely from updating data from existing databases and annotation of articles with high-throughput approaches analyzing different types of p...

We present the third data release of European Space Agency's Gaia mission, GDR3. The GDR3 catalogue is outcome processing raw collected with instruments during first 34 months mission by Data Processing and Analysis Consortium. contains same source list, celestial positions, proper motions, parallaxes, broad band photometry in G, G$_{BP}$, G$_{RP}$ pass-bands already Early Third Release. introd...

For the first time, we have identified Ne  absorption lines in far-UV spectra of the hottest known (Teff ∼150 000 K) hydrogendeficient (pre-) white dwarfs of spectral type PG1159. They are of photospheric origin and can be matched by synthetic non-LTE line profiles. We also show that a number of UV and optical emission lines in these stars can be explained as being photospheric Ne  feat...

More than 150 million women become pregnant in developing countries each year, and an estimated 650 000 of them die of pregnancy-related causes. This death rate is roughly equivalent to 4 jumbo jets each carrying 450 passengers crashing every day — a terrible loss. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared this year’s World Health Day, Tuesday, Apr. 7, 1998, as “Safe Motherhood Day” to b...

Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of acidic and basic [35S]methionine-labeled polypeptides derived from primary cultures of human retinal-pigment epithelial cells revealed about 850 proteins. By co-electrophoresis with highly purified, evolutionally conserved proteins, alpha-actinin, calmodulin, cytosol retinal-binding protein, alpha- and beta-tubulin, and vinculin (mass: 130 000 Da) were ten...

Mammalian mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is a small, maternally inherited genome that codes for 13 essential proteins in the respiratory chain. Mature oocytes contain more than 150 000 copies of mtDNA, at least an order of magnitude greater than the number in most somatic cells, but sperm contain only approximately 100 copies. Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation has been suggested to be an impor...
