Recently, a new biomarker of mosquito bite has been developed using human antibody response to salivary protein. One the proteins that tested is protein 34-kDa which refined Nterm-34 kDa peptide. This study aimed characterize peptide as potential antigen asses Dengue virus transmission risk. The sequence was analyzed several software predict characteristic BLASTP from Vectorbase and NCBI wa use...

Thirteen popular wild edible mushroom species in Yunnan Province, Boletus bicolor, Boletus speciosus, Boletus sinicus, Boletus craspedius, Boletus griseus, Boletus ornatipes, Xerocomus, Suillus placidus, Boletinus pinetorus, Tricholoma terreum, Tricholomopsis lividipileata, Termitomyces microcarpus, and Amanita hemibapha, were analyzed for their free amino acid compositions by online pre-column...

MOTIVATION Multiple sequence alignment is an essential part of bioinformatics tools for a genome-scale study of genes and their evolution relations. However, making an accurate alignment between remote homologs is challenging. Here, we develop a method, called SPEM, that aligns multiple sequences using pre-processed sequence profiles and predicted secondary structures for pairwise alignment, co...

Background & Objectives Due to the importance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in severe inpatient infections and high mortality, the need for an efficient vaccine against these bacteria is increasing. In this regard, the general outer membrane porin of the most problematic microorganism P. aeruginosa, outer membrane protein F (OprF), is a good vaccine candidate. Methods The databank of NCBI was use...

Temperature influences nearly all biochemical, physiological and life history activities of fish, but the molecular mechanisms underlying the temperature acclimation remains largely unknown. Previous studies have identified many temperature-regulated genes in adult tissues; however, the transcriptional responses of fish larvae to temperature stress are not well understood. In this study, we cha...

Emerging evidence of rhodolith bed complexity and heterogeneity poses a challenge to monitoring strategies questions about the role abiotic factors in controlling observed morphostructural diversity. Mollusk thanatocoenoses quickly respond environmental conditions, expressing fidelity biocoenosis representing, thus, useful ecological/paleoecological tool unravel this heterogeneity. In research,...
