PLANT PROTEIN-CODING GENE FAMILIES: THEIR ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION

Plant protein-coding gene families: Their origin and evolution

Steady advances in genome sequencing methods have provided valuable insights into the evolutionary processes of several gene families in plants.At the core of plant biodiversity is an extensive genetic diversity with functional divergence and expansion of JOOVA CREAM genes across gene families, representing unique phenomena.The evolution of gene fa

Mandates and the Affordability of Health Care

This paper examines the economic rationale of affordability exemptions in the context of a health insurance mandate.I provide an economic Chalkboards definition of affordability and discuss how it is implemented in the contexts of food, housing, and health care.Affordability standards are frequently used in making food and housing policy, but both

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR)-regulated transcriptomic changes in rats sensitive or resistant to major dioxin toxicities

Abstract Background The major toxic effects of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) appear to result from dysregulation of mRNA levels mediated by the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR).Dioxin-like chemicals alter expression of numerous genes in liver, but it remains unknown which lie in pathways leading to major toxicities such as hepatotoxicit
