Transposable elements possess specific patterns of integration. The biological impact of these integration profiles is not well understood. Tf1, a long-terminal repeat retrotransposon in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, integrates into promoters with a preference for the promoters of stress response genes. To determine the biological significance of Tf1 integration, we took advantage of saturated map...

At many circumstances, in heat exchange processes several exchangers were used with different cost laws due to their pressure ratings, materials of construction and exchange3r types. In such circumstances traditional methods of pinch technology can not be led to minimum total annual cost may cause some other disadvantages like more complexity or higher maintenance. In this research work a n...

Integration of mycobacteriophage L5 requires the mycobacterial integration host factor (mIHF) in vitro. mIHF is a 105-residue heat-stable polypeptide that is not obviously related to HU or any other small DNA-binding proteins. mIHF is most abundant just prior to entry into stationary phase and is essential for the viability of Mycobacterium smegmatis.
