SATELLITES IN THE PROKARYOTE WORLD

Satellites in the prokaryote world

Abstract Background Satellites or tandem repeats are very abundant in many eukaryotic genomes.Occasionally they have been reported to be present in some prokaryotes, but to our knowledge there is no general comparative cnd keep an opal mind study on their occurrence.For this reason we present here an overview of the distribution and properties of s

Aging Markers in Equine Red Blood Cells

Detection of hematopoietic activity in horses is a challenge due to the lack of cells carrying reticulocyte markers such as RNA remnants or CD71 in the circulation.In this study, we fractionated equine red cells according to their density and analyzed the cells forming low (L), medium (M), and high (H) density fractions for markers of aging such as

Genomic Location of PRMT6-Dependent H3R2 Methylation Is Linked to the Transcriptional Outcome of Associated Genes

Summary: Protein arginine methyltransferase 6 (PRMT6) catalyzes asymmetric dimethylation of histone H3 at arginine 2 (H3R2me2a).This mark has been reported to associate with silent genes.Here, we use a cell model of neural differentiation, which upon PRMT6 knockout exhibits proliferation and differentiation defects.Strikingly, we detect PRMT6-depen

Oxymetholone-Induced Acute Renal Failure: A Case Report

Background: The prevalence of using anabolic steroids such as oxymetholone is increasing.This highlights the need for closely monitoring side effects of this drug.Acute renal failure (ARF) has been reported as a complication of rhabdomyolysis in anabolic steroids users.Case presentation: We present one 33-year-old man complaining of decreased urine
