Solid organs transport fluids through distinct vascular networks that are biophysically and biochemically entangled, creating complex three-dimensional (3D) regimes have remained difficult to produce study. We establish intravascular multivascular design freedoms with photopolymerizable hydrogels by using food dye additives as biocompatible yet potent photoabsorbers for projection stereolithography. demonstrate monolithic transparent hydrogels, produced in minutes, comprising efficient 3D...
Oceanic phages are critical components of the global ecosystem, where they play a role in microbial mortality and evolution. Our understanding phage diversity is greatly limited by lack useful genetic measures. Previous studies, focusing on myophages that infect marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus, have used coliphage T4 portal-protein-encoding homologue, gene 20 (g20), as marker. These studies revealed 10 sequence clusters, 9 oceanic 1 freshwater, only 3 contained cultured representatives....
Recent whole-genome cyanophage sequencing (Sullivan et al., 2010) has revealed that the sequences of some genes do not match those published previously as single-gene derived from DNA fragments PCR-amplified phage isolates. Specifically, g20 gene for S-SSM7 (gene GI:189397276, protein GI:189397277) and Syn33 GI:189397306, GI:189397307) in Sullivan colleagues (2008) were incorrect. The revised alter tree topology or conclusions (2008). source error these is certain, but could have its origin...
