To date, despite the increasing number of genomic tools, there is no repository of ordered human BAC clones that covers entire chromosomes. This project presents a resource of mapped large DNA fragments that span eight human chromosomes at approximately 1-Mb resolution. These DNA fragments are bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones anchored to sequence tagged site (STS) markers. This clon...

OBJECTIVES How effective and safe is rescue percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty [PTCA] compared with primary PTCA, and is it cost effective? BACKGROUND In acute myocardial infarction (AMI), primary PTCA has been shown to be beneficial in terms of clinical outcome. In contrast, the value of rescue PTCA has not been established. METHODS In a retrospective analysis, we compared the ...

Los quitones son un grupo de moluscos muy comunes en el mar la costa Caribe colombiana. No obstante, los estudios respecto a estos organismos y seguimiento sus poblaciones escasos, por lo que objetivo investigación fue determinar abundancia población su morfometría municipio Coveñas, Sucre. Se realizaron muestreos mensuales entre marzo agosto del 2015. Con ayuda cuadrante 1 m2, se contabilizaro...

Three members of a family acquired psittacosis after exposure to a wild pigeon. Each of the patients had pulmonary infiltrates, prominent headache, abdominal complaints, and serologic evidence for infection with Chlamydia psittaci. Of 759 cases of psittacosis reported to the Centers for Disease Control for the period of 1974 to 1981, some 75 (10 percent) were associated with pigeons. Fifty-two ...

Initiation factors IF2 in bacteria and eIF2 in eukaryotes are GTPases that bind Met-tRNA(i)(Met) to the small ribosomal subunit. eIF5B, the eukaryotic ortholog of IF2, is a GTPase that promotes ribosomal subunit joining. Here we show that eIF5B GTPase activity is required for protein synthesis. Mutation of the conserved Asp-759 in human eIF5B GTP-binding domain to Asn converts eIF5B to an XTPas...
