DNA damage, in the form of DNA double-strand breaks, poses a considerable threat to genomic integrity and cell survival. If left unrepaired, a single double-strand break is sufficient to cause cell death and, if repaired inappropriately, a double-strand break may give rise to a potentially oncogenic translocation. Double-strand breaks in genomic DNA may arise accidentally in a number of ways, i...

In this paper, we examine the properties of radial distance which has been used as a tool to compare shape simple surfacic objects. We give rigorous definition and derive its theoretical properties, in particular under conditions it satisfies properties. show how computation can be implemented practice made faster by use an analytical formula Fast Fourier Transform. Finally, conduct experiments...

The use of RNA interference (RNAi) to assess gene function has been demonstrated in several three-host tick species but adaptation of RNAi to the one-host tick, Boophilus microplus, has not been reported. We evaluated the application of RNAi in B. microplus and the effect of gene silencing on three tick-protective antigens: Bm86, Bm91 and subolesin. Gene-specific double-stranded (dsRNA) was inj...

1) Venkata Alluri and Venkatesh Rajamanickam Sequence and Structural Analysis of Bm86 Cattle Tick Proteins 2) Kyle Boone Cryo-EM Image Alignment Based on Nonuniform Fast Fourier Transform 3) Ranjan Das Global Gene Expression Profiling of Plasmodium Falciparum In Response to the AntiMalarial Drug Pyronaridine 4) Karla Garcia Fractionation of Copper in Aquatic Foodweb 5) Sankara Garimella Influen...

An inactivated trivalent fowl cholera vaccine consisted of serotypes 1, 3 and 4 Pasteurella multocida strains was prepared. The vaccine provided 70-100% protection against challenge with homologous starins. ELISA assay showed a considerable increase in antibody titer after towice vaccination of 8 weeks chickens. It was found that the trivalent vaccine can induce immunogenic response in vaccinat...

introduction: listeria monosytogenes is a gram-positive organism, frequently found in the environment and is responsible for serious food-born diseases such as perinatal infections, septicaemia and meningoencephalitis in humans and animals. materials & methods: distribution of the ctpa determinant among l. monosytogenes isolated from environmental and clinical samples was investigated using pcr...

The cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is responsible for great economic losses. It is mainly controlled chemically, with limitations regarding development of resistance to the chemicals. Vaccines may help control this parasite, thereby reducing tick pesticide use. In this light, we performed subcloning of the gene of the protein Bm86-GC, the homologue protein that currently forms ...
