We demonstrate that magnetic properties of ultrathin Co films adjacent to Gd2O3 gate oxides can be directly manipulated by voltage. The reversibly changed from an optimally oxidized state with a strong perpendicular anisotropy metallic in-plane or nearly zero magnetization, depending on the polarity and time duration applied electric fields. Consequently, unprecedentedly large change energy up 0.73 erg/cm2 has been realized in nonvolatile manner using voltages only few volts. These results...

Genome-wide studies reveal that transcription by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is dynamically regulated. To obtain a comprehensive view of single cycle, we switched on five long human genes (>100 kbp) with tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) and monitored (using microarrays, fluorescence in situ hybridization, chromatin immunoprecipitation) the appearance nascent RNA, changes binding Pol two insulators (the cohesin subunit RAD21 CCCTC-binding factor CTCF), modifications histone H3....

How transcription affects the way specific genes are arranged within nucleus remains to be fully understood. We examine here whether occurs in discrete sites (factories) containing required machinery and these specialize transcribing different genes. cotransfected plasmids encoding a common origin of replication but units into cells, where they assembled minichromosomes that cellular replicates transcribes. In cells thousands minichromosomes, we found (using fluorescence situ hybridization)...

Abstract The blunt snout bream Megalobrama amblycephala is the economically most important cyprinid fish species. As an herbivore, it can be grown by eco-friendly and resource-conserving aquaculture. However, large number of intermuscular bones in trunk musculature adverse to meat processing consumption. a first towards optimizing this aquatic livestock, we present 1.116-Gb draft genome M. amblycephala, with 779.54 Mb anchored on 24 linkage groups. Integrating spatiotemporal transcriptome...

Abstract Prostate cancer often manifests as morphologically distinct tumour foci and is frequently found adjacent to presumed precursor lesions such high‐grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia ( HGPIN ). While there some evidence suggest that these can be related exist on a pathological morphological continuum, the precise clonal temporal relationships between invasive cancers within individual tumours remain undefined. Here, we used molecular genetic, cytogenetic, histological analyses...

Abstract Background In plants, microRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous ~22 nt RNAs that play important regulatory roles in many aspects of plant biology, including metabolism, hormone response, epigenetic control transposable elements, and stress response. Extensive studies miRNAs have been performed model plants such as rice Arabidopsis thaliana . maize, most their target genes were analyzed identified by clearly different treatments, response to low nitrate, salt drought stress. However, little...
