Metagenomics projects based on shotgun sequencing of populations micro-organisms yield insight into protein families. We used sequence similarity clustering to explore proteins with a comprehensive dataset consisting sequences from available databases together 6.12 million predicted an assembly 7.7 Global Ocean Sampling (GOS) sequences. The GOS covers nearly all known prokaryotic A total 3,995 medium- and large-sized clusters only are identified, out which 1,700 have no detectable homology...
In multiple sclerosis (MS) pathogenic B cells likely act on both sides of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). However, it is unclear whether antigen-experienced are shared between CNS and peripheral blood (PB) compartments. We applied deep repertoire sequencing IgG heavy chain variable region genes (IgG-VH) in paired cerebrospinal fluid PB samples from patients with MS other neurological diseases to identify related that common For first time our knowledge, we found a restricted pool clonally...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a large class of approximately 22-nucleotide non-coding RNAs that facilitate mRNA cleavage and translation repression through the RNA interference pathway. Until recently, miRNAs have been exclusively found in eukaryotic organisms. A non-immunogenic molecule requiring minimal genomic investment, these may offer an efficient means for viruses to modulate both their own host's gene expression during productive viral infection. In this study we report human...
Animal studies show that CD36, a fatty acid translocase, is involved in fat detection and preference, but these findings have not been reported humans. The objective of this study was to determine whether human genetic variation 5 common CD36 polymorphisms associated with oral perception Italian salad dressings, self‐reported acceptance high‐fat foods obesity African‐American adults ( n = 317). Ratings perceived oiliness, content, creaminess were assessed on 170‐mm visual analogue scale...
The Aesthetic Surgery Journal (ASJ) is a world-renowned publication with valuable contributions from around the globe.To better characterize journal's evolving representation of global to aesthetic surgery, authors examined author affiliations all articles published in ASJ over last decade.A PubMed search was performed for journal January 2008 August 2018. For each article, first author's primary affiliation as indexed MEDLINE recorded source country. Data were tabulated by country and year....
