Competing gene flow models were compared for the Upland Chorus Frog, Pseudacris feriarum, using the program Migrate-n.

Nuclear Factor Y transcription factor is a heterotrimeric complex comprised of the three subunits: NF-YA, NF-YB and NF-YC. Each of the three subunits are encoded by multiple genes in plants, with unique mRNA expression profiles within each family including differential response to development and external stimuli. In this study we identified a light-upregulated TaNF-YB subunit member involved in the regulation of chlorophyll biosynthesis, photosynthesis-related genes, anthesis and flowering time

Transgenic potato plants of Belarusian varieties with genes for synthesis of cecropin-mellitin cationic antimicrobial peptides had increased resistance against pathogens Phytophtora infestans and Alternaria solani.

Applications for microfluidic technologies in life science are expanding rapidly, and have the potential to impact enormously across a range of fields, from cell manipulation to separation science. In separation science their small channel dimensions make them ideal for high throughput separations, reducing sample volumes and solvent consumption.

Capture Compound Mass Spectrometry (CCMS) enables the enrichment of proteins based on their functionality. CCMS is commercialized as kits for research applications and in collaborations with pharmaceutical companies. The focus is on investigating mechanisms of drug action and avoidance of toxic effects of small molecule drugs.

We developed a microfluidic device for encapsulating gold nanoparticles in Micro-Alginate Beads (MABs). The size and the gap of the monodisperse alginate droplets were successfully controlled by adjusting the relative "oil/sample" flow rate ratio. Droplets reacted with calcium ion at the interface between oil phase and aqueous phase so that MABs precipitated spontaneously and undergone complete gelation. Purified MABs were successfully observed by fluorescence microscopy.

We demonstrate spatio-temporal protein dynamics in single living bacterial cells from time lapse fluorescence imaging (TLFI) in a microfluidic chip.

Improved FFPE RNA isolation, novel TR priming for complete recovery of FFPE mRNA fragments. Differential expression defines Scores for tumor classification: comparing fresh-frozen with FFPE. Novel flow-through Ziplex microarray platform demonstrates MAQC performance level of data obtained with FFPE samples.

Aberrant sialylation affects the metastatic behaviour of cancer cells.We have quantified the sialylated cell surface glycoproteins from cells with different metastatic behaviour.The membrane proteins from isogenic human cell lines were analyzed by a method based on TiO2-HILIC-MS.1200 sialylated glycosites, 116 enzymes involved in the glycoconjugate metabolism and for the first time 4 glycosylation sites of Her2 receptor were identified, showing the importance of this tool for discovery and thera

2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is an extremely toxic pollutant and regarded the most potent chemical carcinogen in experimental animals. Most of its biological effects are mediated by binding of TCDD to the cytosolic Ah receptor (AHR). In addition, TCDD cause AHR-dependent alterations in signal transduction that are independent of changes in gene expression. In this study, we have therefore conducted a quantitative phospho proteomic study on TCDD-induced alterations.
