Mutations of p53 gene can be detected in the plasma of patients with large bowel carcinoma
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2013)Aims—To attempt to detect p53 gene mutations in the plasma of patients with large bowel carcinoma. Methods—Plasma was collected from 20control patients with no history of cancer and from 17 patients with large bowel ... -
Photobiont selectivity for lichens and evidence for a possible glacial refugium in the Ross Sea Region, Antarctica
(Springer-Verlag, 2013)Lichens are a symbiosis consisting of heterotrophic, fungal (mycobiont) and photosynthetic algal or cyanobacterial (photobiont) components. We examined photobiont sequences from lichens in the Ross Sea Region of Antarctica ... -
Population genetic structure of the New Zealand estuarine clam Austrovenus stutchburyi (Bivalvia: Veneridae) reveals population subdivision and partial congruence with biogeographic boundaries
(Springer Verlag, 2011)We examined the population genetic structure of the New Zealand endemic clam, Austrovenus stutchburyi, to determine (1) whether populations of this estuarine taxon are genetically subdivided and (2) if the locations of ... -
Prolactin delays hair regrowth in mice
(2006)Mammalian hair growth is cyclic, with hair-producing follicles alternating between active (anagen) and quiescent (telogen) phases. The timing of hair cycles is advanced in prolactin receptor (PRLR) knockout mice, suggesting ... -
Rapid, large-scale and inexpensive genotype differentiation of Mus musculus castaneus and domesticus sub-species
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, 2010)A robust rapid method is described for differentiating Mus musculus castaneus and domesticus sub-species based on the analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphisms in three regions of the mtDNA genome.
