In the recent years many quantum deleting machines are proposed , with varying fidelity of deletion. In this letter we prove that, the fidelity of deletion obtained in [6] , is optimal. Here we have considered a more general transformation and obtained the fidelity of deletion as a function of dot product between two vectors on the Bloch sphere. We show that the maximal value this function can ...

Wounding ¡sa prerequisite for tumor formation in \-jun transgenic mice. The progression from wound to dermal sarcoma is a multistep process which, at some stage, results in an increase in transgene mRNA expression in tumor tissue. However, transgene expression in individual sarcoma cells stained for Jun protein cultures is heterogeneous. We cloned several cell lines from wound-related \-jun tr...

Wounding is a prerequisite for tumor formation in v-jun transgenic mice. The progression from wound to dermal sarcoma is a multistep process which, at some stage, results in an increase in transgene mRNA expression in tumor tissue. However, transgene expression in individual sarcoma cells stained for Jun protein cultures is heterogeneous. We cloned several cell lines from wound-related v-jun tr...

Human ESCs are the pluripotent precursor of the three embryonic germ layers. Human ESCs exhibit basal-apical polarity, junctional complexes, integrin-dependent matrix adhesion, and E-cadherin-dependent cell-cell adhesion, all characteristics shared by the epiblast epithelium of the intact mammalian embryo. After disruption of epithelial structures, programmed cell death is commonly observed. If...

Expression cloning from cDNA is an important technique for acquiring genes encoding novel fluorescent proteins. However, the probability of in-frame cDNA insertion following the first start codon of the vector is normally only 1/3, which is a cause of low cloning efficiency. To overcome this issue, we developed a new expression plasmid vector, pRSET-TriEX, in which transcriptional slippage was ...

Advances in molecular and synthetic biology call for efficient assembly of multi-modular DNA constructs. We hereby present a novel modular cloning method that obviates the need for restriction endonucleases and significantly improves the efficiency in the design and construction of complex DNA molecules by standardizing all DNA elements and cloning reactions. Our system, named HomeRun Vector As...

A soft agarose clonogenic assay is presented which has been optimized for the growth of human gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas. Samples from 15 gastric and colonic solid tumors and from 2 noncancerous stomachs (control cultures) were disaggregated by treatment with collagenase at 37 degrees overnight. Colonies appeared 10 to 15 days after plating, with a cloning efficiency between 0 and 0.82%, ...
