The aim the present study was examine how long-term addition affects abundance different biota across trophic levels and role that quality plays. Here we 17-year-old fertilization experiment investigate responses four fertilizers, compared with two mineral nitrogen fertilizer...

Although SPINK1, which encodes the pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (PSTI), has been firmly established as a chronic pancreatitis-predisposing gene, the causal variant within the most common c.101A>G (p.Asn34Ser)-containing haplotype remains to be identified. The low penetrance of this haplotype implies a minor effect on gene expression and/or protein function; such a minor effect may not...
