COMPARATIVE CHLOROPLAST GENOMICS OF DIPSACALES SPECIES: INSIGHTS INTO SEQUENCE VARIATION, ADAPTIVE EVOLUTION, AND PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS

Comparative Chloroplast Genomics of Dipsacales Species: Insights Into Sequence Variation, Adaptive Evolution, and Phylogenetic Relationships

In general, the chloroplast genomes of angiosperms are considered to be highly conserved and affected little by adaptive evolution.In this study, we tested this hypothesis based on sequence differentiation and adaptive variation in the plastid genomes in the order Dipsacales.We sequenced the plastid genomes of one Adoxaceae species and six Caprifol

A Novel Closed-head Model of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Caused by Primary Overpressure Blast to the Cranium Produces Sustained Emotional Deficits in Mice

Emotional disorders are a common outcome from mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) in humans, but their pathophysiological basis is poorly understood.We have developed a mouse model of closed-head blast injury using an air pressure wave delivered to a small area on one side of the cranium, which we have used to create mild TBI.We found that 20-psi bla

In vivo RNA-seq and ChIP-seq analyses show an obligatory role for the C terminus of p53 in conferring tissue-specific radiation sensitivity

Summary: Thymus and spleen, in contrast to liver, are radiosensitive tissues in which p53-dependent apoptosis is triggered after whole-body radiation Telephone Handset Lead in vivo.Combined RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) analyses of radiation-treated mouse organs identifies both shared and tissue-sp
