Published: November 1991

Field inversion gel electrophoresis (FIGE) and contour-clamped homogeneous field (CHEF) electrophoresis were used to analyse the chromosome of Yersinia ruckeri. The 8 base-pair recognition endonucleases, NotI and SfiI, generated less than 47 DNA fragments whose size and distribution were appropriate for pulsed field separation. Each isolate displayed a characteristic restriction pattern, with about 20% of bands in common. Depending on the strain used, the estimated genome size for this bacterial fish pathogen ranged from 4460 to 4770 kilobase pairs.

The direct power control (DPC) algorithm is one of the most popular linear techniques used to implement notable controllers, known for their simplicity and fast dynamic response. However, this approach has drawbacks that cause a decrease in the current quality and disturbances in the network. Therefore, this experimental work presents a simple and efficient solution that uses a proportional-integral regulator based on a genetic algorithm to regulate the power quality.

Glycosylation, the intricate process of adding carbohydrate motifs to proteins, lipids, and exosomes on the cell surface, is crucial for both physiological and pathological mechanisms. Alterations in glycans significantly affect cancer cell metastasis by mediating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. The subtle changes in glycosylation during malignant transformations highlight the importance of analyzing cell and exosome surface glycosylation for prognostic and early treatment strategies in cancer.

Local field potential phase modulates the evoked response to electrical stimulation in visual cortex.

Development of cortical visual prostheses requires optimization of evoked responses to electrical stimulation to reduce charge requirements and improve safety, efficiency, and efficacy. One promising approach is timing stimulation to the local field potential (LFP), where action potentials have been found to occur preferentially at specific phases. To assess the relationship between electrical stimulation and the phase of the LFP, we recorded action potentials from primary (V1) and secondary (V2) visual cortex in marmosets while delivering single-pulse electrical microstimulation at different phases of the local field potential.
