X-linked gene transcription patterns in female and male in vivo, in vitro and cloned porcine individual blastocysts.

To determine the presence of Radiant Colors Laky Gore Set sexual dimorphic transcription and how in vitro culture environments influence X-linked gene transcription patterns in preimplantation embryos, we analyzed mRNA expression levels in in vivo-derived, in vitro-fertilized (IVF), and cloned porcine blastocysts.Our results clearly show that sex-b

Modeling the efficiency of filovirus entry into cells in vitro: Effects of SNP mutations in the receptor molecule.

Interaction between filovirus glycoprotein (GP) and the Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1) protein is essential for membrane fusion during virus entry.Some single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) in two surface-exposed loops of NPC1 are known to reduce viral infectivity.However, the dependence of differences in entry efficiency on SNPs remains unclear.Using vesi
