Common polymorphisms of microRNA gene MIR146A were reported as associated with different autoimmune diseases, include systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriatic arthritis, asthma and ankylosing spondylitis. In this study we investigated MIR146A SNPs in Chinese people with ankylosing spondylitis. Three common SNPs: rs2910164, rs2431697 and rs57095329 were selected and genotyped in 611 patients and ...

In a recent paper, Brusco, Khn and Steinley [Ann. Oper. Res. 206:611-626 (2013)] conjecture that the 2 bins special case of the one-dimensional minimax bin-packing problem with bin size constraintsmight be solvable in polynomial time. In this note, we show that this problem is NP-hard for the special caseand thatit is strongly NP-hard for the general problem. We also propose a pseudo-polynomial...

The cryptic multicopy plasmid pME2001 of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum Marburg encodes a 611-base-pair transcript containing several consecutive, short open reading frames. Scrutiny of the 5'-flanking region did not reveal homology to putative archaebacterial consensus promoter sequences. However, 28 base pairs upstream of the transcription start point, there was a sequence with strong h...
