ZYMOBACTER PALMAE PYRUVATE DECARBOXYLASE IS LESS EFFECTIVE THAN THAT OF ZYMOMONAS MOBILIS FOR ETHANOL PRODUCTION IN METABOLICALLY ENGINEERED SYNECHOCYSTIS SP. PCC6803

To produce bioethanol from model cyanobacteria such as Synechocystis, a two gene cassette consisting of genes encoding pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) are required to transform pyruvate first to acetaldehyde and then to ethanol.However the partition of pyruvate to ethanol comes at a cost, a reduction in biomass and pyru

Osteogenesis Imperfecta is a hereditary connective tissue disorder due to COL1A1/2 mutation causing gene defect encoding proteins to metabolize collagen.The skeletal manifestation of OI causing bone incompetence, hence Towel the name brittle bone disease.Here we report three cases of OI type IV in adults.Skeletal conventional X-rays were performed

The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) provides a rich resource that can be used to understand how genes interact in cancer cells and has collected RNA-Seq gene expression data for many types of human cancer.However, mining the data to uncover the hidden gene-interaction patterns remains a challenge.Gaussian graphical model (GGM) is often used to learn gen

The Business Intelligence (BI) and Data Warehouse (DW) system deployed in the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation should provide cooperate decision makers with real-time information to help them identify and understand key business factors to make the best decisions for the situation Duffel Bag at any given time.The relentless collection of dat

Hepatitis viruses are primary causative agents of hepatitis and represent a major source of public health problems in the world.The host innate immune system forms the first line of defense against hepatitis viruses.Hepatitis viruses are sensed by specific pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs) that subsequently trigger the innate immune response Ho
