Exome sequencing of UK birth cohorts.

Birth cohort studies involve repeated surveys of large numbers of individuals from birth and throughout their lives. They collect information useful for a wide range of life course research domains, and biological samples which can be used to derive data from an increasing collection of omic technologies. This rich source of longitudinal data, when combined with genomic data, offers the scientific community valuable insights ranging from population genetics to applications across the social sciences.

Description of the complete rDNA repeat unit structure of Temminck et Schlegel, 1849 (Aves).

Ribosomal RNA (18S, 5.8S, 28S) gene clusters in genomes form regions that consist of multiple tandem repeats. They are located on a single or several pairs of chromosomes and play an important role in the formation of the nucleolus responsible for the assembly of ribosome subunits.

Long-term evaluation of combined prosthetic-surgical approach and soft tissue augmentation in the esthetic zone.

Background: There is no standard protocol for immediate implant placement and subsequent loading in the smile zone. We aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes of simultaneous implant placement, soft tissue grafting, and immediate prosthetic loading in the esthetic zone.

Methods: Thirty-five implants were placed in the maxillary aesthetic zone.

Mutation in Affects Phenoxazinone Synthase Catalytic Site and Impairs Long-Term Memory.

Being involved in development of Huntington's, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, kynurenine pathway (KP) of tryptophan metabolism plays a significant role in modulation of neuropathology. Accumulation of a prooxidant 3-hydroxykynurenine (3-HOK) leads to oxidative stress and neuronal cell apoptosis. mutant () with 3-HOK excess shows age-dependent neurodegeneration and short-term memory impairments, thereby presenting a model for senile dementia.
