Phase Characteristics of Radio Signals received via the Ionosphere

A RADIO wave after reflexion from the ionosphere may be considered to consist of a specular component and a varying diffracted component¹, the latter being the result of random scattering from a large number of m...

Transcription in Amino Acid Starved Bacteria

In stringent bacterial strains, starvation of a required amino acid results in a reduction of the rate of net RNA synthesis to about 10 %of that of an unstarved culture.

MuMTV Genotype, Protoneoplasia, and Tumor Progression

If we are to understand cancer, we must understand its origins and its evolution. The current concept, that cancer results from somatic cell mutation, means that the molecular origin and evolution of the disea...

Concomitant regulation of Mu1 transposition and Mutator activity in maize

The mutagenic activity of the maize transposable element system Mutator can be lost by outcrossing to standard, non-Mutator lines or by repetitive intercrossing of genetically diverse Mutator lines. Lines losing

An embryogenic cell line of maize from A188 (Minnesota) contains Mu1-like elements

The maize inbred line A188 is popularly used for the production of embryogenic cell lines. A188, maintained at the University of Minnesota, was found upon molecular analysis to contain 2 to 4 copies of a DNA s...

Linkage disequilibrium map** provides further evidence of a gene for reading disability on chromosome 6p21.3–22

Linkage disequilibrium (LD) map** was used to follow up reports of linkage between reading disability (RD) and an 18 cM region of chromosome 6p21.3–22. Using a two-stage approach, we tested for association b...

Confirmation and refinement of an ‘at-risk’ haplotype for schizophrenia suggests the EST cluster, Hs.97362, as a potential susceptibility gene at the Neuregulin-1 locus

Two recent association studies have implicated the neuregulin-1 gene (NRG1) at chromosome 8p21–22 as a susceptibility gene for schizophrenia. Stefansson et al identified three ‘at-risk’ haplotypes (HapA, B and C)...

Analysis of 10 independent samples provides evidence for association between schizophrenia and a SNP flanking fibroblast growth factor receptor 2

We and others have previously reported linkage to schizophrenia on chromosome 10q25–q26 but, to date, a susceptibility gene in the region has not been identified. We examined data from 3606 single-nucleotide p...
