Synonymous mutations, which do not alter the protein sequence, have been shown to affect function [Sauna ZE, Kimchi-Sarfaty C (2011) Nat Rev Genet 12(10):683–691]. However, synonymous mutations are rarely investigated in cancer genomics field. We used whole-genome and -exome sequencing identify somatic 29 melanoma samples. Validation of one mutation BCL2L12 285 samples identified 12 cases that harbored recurrent F17F mutation. This led increased mRNA levels because differential targeting WT...
Pasture bloat is a major deterrent to the grazing of alfalfa ( Medicago sativa L.) pastures by ruminants, despite high growth rates that are obtainable. Sainfoin Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.), condensed tannin‐containing legume, known reduce pasture in mixed stands. Experiments were conducted 2010 2012 at Lethbridge, AB, using two sainfoin/cultivar AC Blue J originally seeded as 50:50 mixes 2008 and rotationally grazed steers Bos taurus ).

Abstract Raw river and irrigation water in the Oldman River Basin southern Alberta was tested for presence of two bacterial pathogens, Escherichia coli O157:H7 Salmonella spp., over last 2 yr (2000–2001). The number E. spp. isolated from raw peaked during summer months. While only 11/802 (1.3%) samples entire sampling season 2000 16/806 (2.0%) 2001, pathogen one or more times 10/35 (28.5%) sites 13/40 (32.5%) 2001. 44/802 (5.5%) 122/822 (14.9%) 2001; 25/35 (71.4%) 29/40 (72.5%) Certain had...
Pure heat-stable inhibitor of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKI) has been isolated in high yield by using a bacterial expression vector constructed to synthesize complete sequence rabbit muscle inhibitor, plus an amino-terminal initiator methionine and glycine. Bacterially expressed PKI inhibitory activity identical that from skeletal and, gel filtration electrophoresis, same physicochemical characteristics as native physiological form PKI. Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy CD...
Abstract Fecal coliform (FC) and Escherichia coli (EC) concentrations in the Oldman River its tributaries, irrigation canals southern Alberta, Canada, were monitored during 1998, 1999 2000. High FC EC counts found drainages from agricultural lands all years downstream of City Lethbridge wastewater treatment plant (WTP) 1998. A significant decrease WTP was observed 1999, after an upgrade to WTP, which included a UV disinfection system. Spikes surface waters following heavy rainfall events. It...
Discovering English with Sketch Engine exploits the lexical turn in language teaching, as it enables reader to consult the of thousands native speakers who is authentic speech and writing has been sampled stored corpora. In process answering hundreds questions, the reader acquires corpus skills necessary obtain the language data from which conclusions can then be drawn. The questions concern collocations, idioms, phrasal verbs, prepositions, word order, colloquial language,...
Deadly outbreaks and illnesses due to Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) occur worldwide; however, the cultivation methods required for adequate monitoring traceback investigations are inefficient at best. Detection of STEC relies heavily on enrichment; yet no standard media or protocols exist. Furthermore, whether enrichment may bias detection multiple serogroups from complex samples is unknown. Thus, 14 strains O157 top six non-O157s (O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, O145) were...
Long-term trends in alpine and prairie snow pack accumulation melt are affecting streamflow within the Oldman River Basin southern Alberta, Canada. Unchecked rural urban development also has contributed to changes water quality, including enhanced microbial populations increased water-borne pathogen occurrence. In this study we look at changing environment its impact on quality quantity. The cumulative effects include a decline net supplies, declining resulting risk of disease. Our data...
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are a subgroup of E. causing human diseases. Methods to control STEC in livestock and humans limited. These other emerging pathogens global concern novel mitigation strategies required. Habitats populated by bacteria subjected competition pressures due limited space resources but they use various compete natural environments. Our objective was evaluate non-pathogenic strains isolated from cattle feces for their ability out-compete STEC....
Wheat is affected by many fungal diseases that can cause severe yield and quality losses. Disease prediction models generally employ weather data to estimate potential for infection determine timing fungicide applications, but these fail account the presence quantity of pathogen inoculum. This study adapted highly specific qPCR primers identify quantify, in real-time, inoculum present air six most important wheat pathogens Canada. Fungal spores were collected using either Burkard spore...
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are bacterial pathogens responsible for deadly foodborne outbreaks and sporadic illnesses globally. Children under five most susceptible to severe complications death. Seven main serogroups (O157 top six non-O157: O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, O145) have been identified as causing the majority of STEC infections in humans. Beef products one frequent source infection, necessitating robust surveillance programs. However, detection isolation methods...
From January to December 1983, 12,207 specimens of urine were examined for ova Schistosoma haematobium and 753 (6.17%) positive. this group, 44 adult patients investigated urinary tract abnormalities. Haematuria was the commonest presenting symptom (81.8%) followed by lower abdominal pain (77.3%) dysuria (68.2%). Urinalysis revealed proteinuria in 55.5%, leucocyturia 90.9% microhaematuria 88.6% patients. Twenty-four hour protein excretion ranged from 230 mg 2.2 g (mean 960 mg). Serum...
Previous research showed that the consumption of heat-killed E. coli O157:H7 bacteria resulted in an increase level DNA damage intestine, liver and spleen cells. We hypothesized certain bacterial components released from trigger this response. analysed possibility [such as lipopolysaccharides (LPS)] could induce changes proteins involved cell proliferation, repair methylation distal tissues mice. Four-week-old male mice were provided water supplemented with whole or (DNA, RNA, LPS). Spleen...
As population growth places greater pressures on potable water supplies, nonpotable recycled irrigation is becoming widely used turfgrass areas including golf courses, sports fields, parks, and lawns. Nonpotable waters often have elevated salinity levels, therefore turfgrasses must, increasingly, good tolerance to persist in these environments. This greenhouse study evaluated 10 commonly cultivars representing warm-season species of bermudagrass ( Cynodon spp . ), zoysiagrass Zoysia st....
