Sculpins (coastrange and slimy) and sticklebacks (ninespine and threespine) are widely distributed fishes cohabiting 2 south-central Alaskan lakes (Aleknagik and Iliamna), and all these species are parasitized by cryptic diphyllobothriidean cestodes in the genus Schistocephalus.The goal of this investigation was to test for host-specific parasitic
Abstract Background Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is a heterogeneous group of diseases developed from trophoblasts.ASPP (Ankyrin-repeat, SH3-domain and proline-rich region containing protein) family proteins, ASPP1 and ASPP2, have been reported to be dysregulated in GTD.They modulate p53 activities and are responsible for multiple cellula
Reverse Transcription-Quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) is one of the standards for analytical measurement of different RNA species in biological models.However, current Reverse Transcription (RT) based priming strategies are unable to synthesize differing RNAs and ncRNAs especially miRNAs, within a single tube.We present a new methodology, referred to ca
