receptor (AR). AR is a member of the steroid hormone receptor superfamily, a class of …

Biofortification is a feasible and cost-effective means of delivering micronutrients to populations
that may have limited access to diverse diets and other micronutrient interventions. Since …

Genetic variants that inactivate protein-coding genes are a powerful source of information
about the phenotypic consequences of gene disruption: genes that are crucial for the function …

Jones and Berglas (1978) have described self-handicapping as a set of behavioral
strategies enacted before a performance that permits the individual to externalize failure and …

Alternative splicing (AS) plays a major role in the generation of proteomic diversity and in
gene regulation. However, the role of the basal splicing machinery in regulating AS remains …

Sequence-based analyses have predicted that ∼35% of mammalian alternative splicing (AS)
events produce premature termination codon (PTC)-containing splice variants that are …
