Genetic evidence for single-strand lesions initiating Nbs1-dependent homologous recombination in diversification of Ig v in chicken B lymphocytes. by Makoto Nakahara, Eiichiro Sonoda, Kuniharu Nojima, Julian E Sale, Katsuya Takenaka, Koji Kikuchi, Yoshihito Taniguchi, Kyoko Nakamura, Yoshiki Sumitomo, Ronan T Bree, Noel F Lowndes, Shunichi Takeda

“…The Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 (MRN) complex, which produces 3' single-strand overhangs, promotes the initiation of DSB-induced HR in yeast. We show that a DT40 line expressing only a truncated form of Nbs1 (Nbs1(p70)) exhibits defective HR-dependent DSB repair, and a significant reduction in the rate--though not the fidelity--of Ig gene conversion. …”

Some characteristics of the microbial community of reservoir fluids of the Romashkinskoe field by L.R. Biktasheva, S.Y. Selivanovskaya, R.A. Mukhtarova, H. Abdaljialil, P.Y. Galitskaya

“…The cultivation had a lesser effect on the abundance of copies of the dsrA and apsA genes, both involved in the sulfate reduction. When summarized, the obtained results indicate that the culture enrichment method enables the formation of a community differing substantially from the initial microbial communities of reservoir fluids of the oil wells.…”

First, plots protected from wild herbivores for the past 25 years have developed rich diversity of woody plants that are absent from unfenced plots, and presumably would disappear upon rewilding. …”
