Phoneutria nigriventer spider venom contains several cysteine-rich peptide toxins that act on different ion channels. Despite extensive studies on its venom and description of cDNA sequences of several of its toxin precursors, the gene structure of these toxins remains unknown. Methods: Genomic regions ...
El genoma humano, como el de todos los mamíferos y aves, es un mosaico de isocoros, los que son regiones muy largas de ADN (>>100 kb) que son homogéneas en cuanto a su composición de bases. Los isocoros pueden ser divididos en un pequeño número de familias que cubren un amplio rango de niveles...
Several heterozygous GLI2 gene mutations have been reported in patients with isolated GH deficiency (IGHD) or multiple pituitary hormone deficiency (MPHD) with or without other malformations. The primary aim of this study was to analyze the presence of GLI2 gene alterations in a cohort of patients with I...
O gene completo codificando a enzima triose fosfato isomerase (TPI) do Schistosoma mansoni foi caracterizado a partir do estudo de dois ciclones exibindo áreas de superposiçäo, isolados, de uma biblioteca genômica em fago de lambda. Estes clones genômicos foram caracterizados através de mapas de re...
