Sex chromosomes and hormones independently influence healthy brain development but act similarly after cranial radiation.

The course of normal development and response to pathology are strongly influenced by biological sex. For instance, female childhood cancer survivors who have undergone cranial radiation therapy (CRT) tend to display more pronounced cognitive deficits than their male counterparts. Sex effects can be the result of sex chromosome complement (XX vs.

Draft genome sequences of DSM 14810 (JK 615) and DSM 3071 (D1).

Here, we report the draft genome sequences of two -type strains isolated from rumen fluid. The genome sequence of DSM 14810 was 3.3 Mb with 3,093 predicted genes, while the DSM 3071 genome sequence was 4.

Description and genome analysis of a novel archaeon isolated from a syntrophic pyrite-forming enrichment culture and reclassification of Methanospirillum hungatei strains GP1 and SK as Methanospirillum purgamenti sp. nov.

The archaeal isolate J.3.6.

Limiting the number of fresh donor oocytes inseminated with sperm as a strategy to minimize supernumerary embryos.

Objective: To determine the optimal number of fresh donor oocytes to expose to sperm for patients who want to prioritize reducing surplus embryos while preserving the live birth rate.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Setting: University.
