PREVALENCE OF CLOSTRIDIUM PERFRINGENS ENCODING THE NETF TOXIN GENE IN DOGS WITH ACUTE AND CHRONIC GASTROINTESTINAL DISEASES

Prevalence of Clostridium perfringens Encoding the netF Toxin Gene in Dogs with Acute and Chronic Gastrointestinal Diseases

Several recent studies have reported a significantly greater prevalence of Clostridium perfringens encoding the novel pore-forming netF toxin gene in dogs with acute hemorrhagic diarrhea syndrome.However, the presence of netF in other canine diarrheal diseases remains poorly characterized.This retrospective, cross-sectional study aimed to describe

A Molecular Marker Within the NLP3-B1 Gene Is Associated with Earliness in Spring Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Earliness is a critical agronomic trait that enables plants to avoid adverse weather conditions during the late growing season or at harvest.In wheat, earliness is controlled by at least three distinct mechanisms: vernalization requirement, photoperiod sensitivity, and a mechanism independent of the first two, so called, earliness per se.In this wo

SETDB1 mediated histone H3 lysine 9 methylation suppresses MLL-fusion target expression and leukemic transformation

Epigenetic regulators play a critical role in normal and malignant hematopoiesis.Deregulation, including epigenetic deregulation, of the HOXA gene cluster drives transformation of about 50% of acute myeloid leukemia.We recently showed that the Histone 3 Lysine 9 methyltransferase SETDB1 negatively regulates the expression of the pro-leukemic genes

Decision Making Under Uncertain Categorization

Two experiments investigated how category information is used in decision making under uncertainty and whether the framing of category information influences how it is used.Subjects were presented with vignettes in which the categorization QUICK B12 of a critical item was ambiguous and were asked to choose among a set of actions with the goal of at
