Bryostatin is a unique lead in the development of potentially transformative therapies for cancer, Alzheimer's disease and the eradication of HIV/AIDS. However, the clinical use of bryostatin has been hampered by its limited supply, difficulties in accessing clinically relevant derivatives, and side effects. Here, we address these problems through the step-economical syntheses of seven members ...

Hans-Jörg Kreowski was among the first researchers to point out that Place/Transition Petri nets can be interpreted as instances of Graph Transformation Systems, a fact now considered folklore. We elaborate on this observation, discussing how several different models of Petri nets can be encoded faithfully into Graph Transformation Systems. The key idea we pursue is that the net encoding is uni...

Sensitive nucleic acid based detection methods such as in situ PCR, in situ RT-PCR and PRINS have great potential in the areas of developmental biology, pathogenesis and diagnostics. However, control of evaporation from in situ reactions is critical to ensure reliable data. Self-Seal Reagent, a component added directly to the in situ reaction mixture, effectively controls evaporation during in ...

This article contains data related to the research article entitled "A case study to determine the geographical origin of unknown GM papaya in routine food sample analysis, followed by identification of papaya events 16-0-1 and 18-2-4" (Prins et al., 2016) [1]. Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) with targets that are putatively present in genetically modified (GM) papaya was used as a first scre...

R ecently, school reform efforts have moved the issue of effective instruction to the forefront of ed ucation, and researchers and practition ers alike have renewed their interest in learning style. Learning style assessment can provide the basis for a more person alized approach to student advisement and placement, instructional strategy, and evaluation of learning. Style assess ment, however,...

Although the nuclear genome of banana (Musa spp.) is relatively small (1C approximately 610 Mbp for M. acuminata), the results obtained from other sequenced genomes suggest that more than half of the banana genome may be composed of repetitive and non-coding DNA sequences. Knowledge of repetitive DNA can facilitate mapping of important traits, phylogenetic studies, BAC-based physical mapping, a...
