Article Synopsis
- The study assessed two soy enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) for detecting soy proteins in various foods, finding both kits highly sensitive with lower limits of detection than advertised.
- The quantification range of the kits was narrower and at lower concentrations than specified by the manufacturers, indicating potential limitations in their use.
- There was notable cross-reactivity with chickpea proteins and interference from other food components, along with reduced immunoreactivity of soy proteins when treated with specific enzymes and conditions.
A genetic interaction network containing approximately 1000 genes and approximately 4000 interactions was mapped by crossing mutations in 132 different query genes into a set of approximately 4700 viable gene yeast deletion mutants and scoring the double mutant progeny for fitness defects. Network connectivity was predictive of function because interactions often occurred among functionally related genes, and similar patterns of interactions tended to identify components of the same pathway. The genetic network exhibited dense local neighborhoods; therefore, the position of a gene on a partially mapped network is predictive of other genetic interactions.
