Background
In recent years, several new hypotheses on phylogenetic relations among arthropods have been proposed on the basis of DNA sequences. One of the challenged hypotheses is the monophyly of hexapods. This discussion originated from analyses based on mitochondrial DNA datasets that, due to an unusual positioning of Collembola, suggested that the hexapod body plan evolved at least twice. Here, we re-evaluate the position of Collembola using ribosomal protein gene sequences. 相似文献22.

As the number of non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) identified through whole-exome/whole-genome sequencing programs increases, researchers and clinicians are becoming increasingly reliant upon computational prediction algorithms designed to prioritize potential functional variants for further study. A large proportion of existing prediction algorithms are ‘disease agnostic’ but are nevertheless quite capable of predicting when a mutation is likely to be deleterious. However, most clinical and research applications of these algorithms relate to specific diseases and would therefore benefit from an approach that discriminates between functional variants specifically related to that disease from those which are not. In a whole-exome/whole-genome sequencing context, such an approach could substantially reduce the number of false positive candidate mutations. Here, we test this postulate by incorporating a disease-specific weighting scheme into the Functional Analysis through Hidden Markov Models (FATHMM) algorithm. When compared to traditional prediction algorithms, we observed an overall reduction in the number of false positives identified using a disease-specific approach to functional prediction across 17 distinct disease concepts/categories. Our results illustrate the potential benefits of making disease-specific predictions when prioritizing candidate variants in relation to specific diseases. A web-based implementation of our algorithm is available at http://fathmm.biocompute.org.uk. 相似文献

The content of free SH groups and disulfide bonds in the purified pig kidney Na+,K+-ATPase was determined by ammetric titration with silver nitrate. In the native enzyme, most of the free SH groups are masked due to their location in the polypeptide chain regions poorly accessible to SH reagents. Denaturation with 5% SDS and 8 M urea makes these regions accessible thus revealing 22 free SH groups/mol of the protein. After complete blocking of free SH groups with silver ions, 8 SH groups/mol of the protein are being released upon sulfitolysis which indicates the presence of four disulfide bonds in the enzyme. At least one disulfide bridge is located in the alpha-subunit whereas the beta-subunit contains three disulfide bonds. 相似文献

A quantitative multifactorial method based on stereological parameters of ultrastructure has been worked out for unambiguous assessment of the condition of myocardial cells. The contraction force (F) generated by 1mm3 of myocardial cell mass, being the essential function of myocardial cells, had been chosen as a system-forming factor. Index F is calculated by our equation, as follows: F = K x Vvmf x (1/Svcr, 1/2.3Svmt, Vvspl/226.1, 1/2.3Svmf, Vv.mf/1533.7) x f x v1, where K describes the measure of dissocation of myofilaments and where the product of f x v1 is a constant. The data regarding the function of myocardial cell contractility measured by direct micromechanography were quantitatively parallel to those recordable by the new method, with one and the same animal being involved. Hence, evidence has been produced to the value of the new method in terms of objectivity and functional equivalence. This method can be used for quantitative testing for diagnosis and prognostication in theoretical and applied cardiology and in cardiac surgery. 相似文献
