BACKGROUND: Abundant evidence indicates that chicken reproduction is strictly regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonad (HPG) axis, and the genes included in the HPG axis have been studied extensively.However, the question remains as to whether any other genes outside of the HPG system are involved in regulating chicken reproduction.The present
: Figurines of the early Bronze Age from burial mounds, including ones of the Serezliivka type, have specific morphological and stylistic features, which do not allow them to be associated with Trypillia or Usatovo cultures.Mapping of the early Bronze Age figurines shows that burials are localized in different regions of the steppe zone.A very impo
Motivated by recent developments on the fabrication and control of semiconductor-based quantum dots, we Groomers theoretically study a finite system of tunnel-coupled quantum dots with the electrons interacting through the long-range Coulomb interaction.When the interelectron separation is large and the quantum dot confinement potential is weak, th
dsRNA was found in malformed cultures of Lentinula edodes strain FMRI0339, Groomers one of the three most popular sawdust cultivated commercial strains of shiitake, and was also found in healthy-looking fruiting bodies and actively growing mycelia.Cloning of the partial genome of the dsRNA revealed the presence of the RdRp sequence of a novel L.edo
