Various types of genomic data (e.g., SNPs and mRNA transcripts) have been employed to identify risk genes for complex diseases. However, the analysis of these data has largely been performed in isolation. Combining these multiple data for integrative analysis can take advantage of complementary information and thus can have higher power to identify genes (and/or their functions) that would othe...

The structural behavior of a chromate aluminate sodalite, Ca8[Al12O24](CrO4)2, at room pressure and on heating from 463 to 982°C was determined by using in situ synchrotron X-ray powder-diffraction data [ = 0.91997(4) Å] and Rietveld refinements. The sample was heated at a rate of about 9.5°C/min., and X-ray traces were collected at intervals of about 17°C. The structure at 463°C is a modulated...

In studies using isolated ovarian granulosa and thecal cells it is important to assess the degree of cross contamination. Marker genes commonly used for granulosa cells include FSHR, CYP19A1 and AMH while CYP17A1 and INSL3 are used for thecal cells. To increase the number of marker genes available we compared expression microarray data from isolated theca interna with that from granulosa cells ...

During slow-wave sleep (SWS) following periods of spatial activity, hippocampal place cells that were temporally correlated, by virtue of the overlap of their place fields, exhibit enhanced temporal correlations, even though the animal sleeps in a different location (Wilson and McNaughton [1994] Science 267:676-679). The discharge of cells with overlapped place fields is more correlated in subs...

effects of different soil moisture regimes and p application on available and inorganic p forms were studied in four paddy soils, north of iran. a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with two replications was performed in a laboratory study. factors of soil at four levels (two acid and two alkaline-calcareous soils), soil moisture contents at three different levels (air-dry, ...
