GENETIC MECHANISMS OF CO-EMERGENCE OF INH-RESISTANT MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS STRAINS DURING THE STANDARD COURSE OF ANTITUBERCULOSIS THERAPY

Genetic mechanisms of co-emergence of INH-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains during the standard course of antituberculosis therapy

ABSTRACTThe incidence of isoniazid (INH) resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis is increasing globally.This study aimed to identify the molecular mechanisms behind the development of INH resistance in M.tuberculosis strains collected from the same patients during the standard course of treatment.Three M.tuberculosis strains were collected from a pati

Assessment of Autonomic Functions in Obese Adults

Background: Association between obesity and dysregulation of autonomic functions has long been established and is believed to be the cause of increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.Furthermore, early detection of impaired autonomic functions and hence timely intervention can prevent many of the obesity related cardiovascular compl

Thesaurus-based disambiguation of gene symbols

Abstract Background Massive text mining of the biological literature holds great promise of relating disparate information and discovering new knowledge.However, disambiguation of gene symbols is a major bottleneck.Results We developed a simple thesaurus-based disambiguation algorithm that can operate with very little training data.The thesaurus co

Mixed-reproductive strategies, competitive mating-type distribution and life cycle of fourteen black morel species

Abstract Morchella species are well known world-round as popular and prized edible fungi due to their unique culinary Handheld Sweeper flavor.Recently, several species have been successfully cultivated in China.However, their reproductive modes are still unknown, and their basic biology needs to be elucidated.Here, we use the morel genome informati
