Four mutations resulting in opal stop codons were individually engineered into a plasmid-borne chloramphenicol-resistance (cat) gene driven by the lac promoter. These four mutations were located at different sites in secondary structures. The mutations were analysed with the computer program mfg, which predicted their relative reversion frequencies. Reversion frequencies determined experimental...

Thermal reversion of the far-red absorbing form of phytochrome to the red absorbing form in darkness has been investigated in crude and partially purified isolates from a number of etiolated and light grown higher plants. The influence of temperature, aging and urea on the rate of reversion was also determined.Phytochrome isolated from all higher plants underwent reversion. The reversion procee...

Angiosperm flowers are usually determinate structures that may produce seeds. In some species, flowers can revert from committed flower development back to an earlier developmental phase in a process called floral reversion. The allopolyploid Arabidopsis suecica displays photoperiod-dependent floral reversion in a subset of its flowers, yet little is known about the environmental conditions enh...

Protoplasts of Bacillus subtilis plated on SD medium form L colonies in quantitative yield and propagate in the L form indefinitely. L bodies or protoplasts placed in 25% gelatin medium form bacillary colonies. Details of the reversion of naked bodies to the walled form are reported. In 25% gelatin medium, reversion begins earlier (about 50% reversion in 4 hr) than the multiplication of bacilli...

On-line portfolio selection has attracted increasing interests in machine learning and AI communities recently. Empirical evidence show that stock’s high and low prices are temporary and stock price relatives are likely to follow the mean reversion phenomenon. While the existing mean reversion strategies are shown to achieve good empirical performance on many real datasets, they often make the ...

BACKGROUND The CPCRA 064 study examined the effect of structured treatment interruption (STI) of up to 4 months followed by salvage treatment in patients failing therapy with multi-drug resistant HIV. We examined the relationship between the reversion rate of major reverse transcriptase (RT) resistance-associated mutations and change in viral replication capacity (RC). The dataset included 90 p...

Reversion of L forms to the normal bacterial state has been described in general terms in a variety of bacterial cell-L-form systems (Dienes and Weinberger, 1951). The relatively large 3B type L colony formed on penicillin-containing medium is composed entirely of spherical bodies of varying sizes (2 to 10 ,u in diameter) that appear to propagate by a budding process. In contrast, 3A type L for...

On-line portfolio selection, a fundamental problem in computational finance, has attracted increasing interests from artificial intelligence and machine learning communities in recent years. Empirical evidence shows that stock’s high and low prices are temporary and stock price relatives are likely to follow the mean reversion phenomenon. While existing mean reversion strategies are shown to ac...

The kinetics of immune escape and reversion depend upon the efficiency of CD8 cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and the fitness cost of escape mutations. Escape kinetics of three simian immunodeficiency virus Gag CTL epitopes in pigtail macaques were variable; those of KP9 and AF9 were faster than those of KW9. Kinetics of reversion of escape mutant virus to wild type upon passage to naïve major hi...
