PHDcleav: A SVM based method for predicting human Dicer cleavage sites using sequence and secondary structure of miRNA precursors
(BioMed Central, 2013-10-09)
Background: Dicer, an RNase III enzyme, plays a vital role in the processing of pre-miRNAs for generating the miRNAs. The structural and sequence features on pre-miRNA which can facilitate position and efficiency of cleavage ...
Thermal patterns constrain diurnal behavior of a ground-dwelling bird
(Ecological Society of America, 2015-11-12)
Recently, gaining knowledge about thermal refuges for vulnerable species has been a major focal point of ecological studies, and this focus has been heightened by predicted temperature increases associated with global ...
Community terminal restriction fragment length polymorphisms reveal insights into the diversity and dynamics of leaf endophytic bacteria
(BioMed Central, 2013-01-03)
Background: Plant endophytic bacteria play an important role benefiting plant growth or being pathogenic to plants or organisms that consume those plants. Multiple species of bacteria have been found co-inhabiting plants, ...
THz Sommerfeld wave propagation on a single metal wire
(AIP Publishing, 2005-04-12)
We report an experimental and theoretical study of THz Sommerfeld wave propagation on a single copper wire. THz pulses are optoelectronically generated and launched onto 0.52-mm-diam copper wire, and the guided THz pulses ...
Life-history evolution in the anthropocene: Effects of increasing nutrients on traits and trade-offs
(Wiley Open Access, 2015-08)
Variation in life-history traits can have major impacts on the ecological and evolutionary responses of populations to environmental change. Life-history variation often results from trade-offs that arise because individuals ...
Jointly primitive knots and surgeries between lens spaces
(2019-04-05)
This paper describes a Dehn surgery approach to generating asymmetric hyperbolic manifolds with two distinct lens space fillings. Such manifolds were first identified
in work of Dunfield-Hoffman-Licata as the result of a ...
Probing the transition from an uncoupled to a strong near-field coupled regime between bright and dark mode resonators in metasurfaces
(AIP Publishing, 2014-08-27)
The coupling of multiple plasmonic resonators that sustain bright or dark modes provide intriguing spectral signatures. However, probing the onset of coupling effects while engaging the resonators with an increasing proximity ...
In silico identification of conserved microRNAs in large number of diverse plant species
(BioMed Central, 2008-04-16)
Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are recently discovered small non-coding RNAs that play pivotal roles in gene expression, specifically at the post-transcriptional level in plants and animals. Identification of miRNAs in ...
Comparison of TRACK XI fluorometric immunoassay system with other serologic tests for detection of serum antibody to Brucella abortus in cattle
(American Society for Microbiology, 1987-02)
The TRACK XI system (TRACK) is a commercially available fluorometric immunoassay system that has been adapted for the detection of antibodies to several antigens in various animal species. Serum antibodies to Brucella ...
