We have recently described a female patient with myotubular myopathy (MTM1) and an interstitial deletion at Xq28. Characterisation of the deletion allowed us to position the MTM1 gene to a 600 kb region between DXS304 and DXS497. In order to further r . . .

We show that the cAMP receptor protein (Crp) binds to DNA as several different conformers. This situation has precluded discovering a high correlation between any sequence property and binding affinity for proteins that bend DNA. Experimentally quanti . . .

Recent advances in gene microarray technology have facilitated global analyses of gene expression profiles in normal and malignant immune cells. Great strides have been made in our understanding of molecular differences among various types of immune c . . .

The widespread distribution of pteropods, their role in ocean food webs and their sensitivity to ocean acidification and warming has renewed scientific interest in this group of zooplankton. Unfortunately, their fragile shell, sensitivity to handling, . . .

Abstract Previous work with the cryptic sister species pair of field crickets, Gryllus texensis Cade & Otte and Gryllus rubens Scudder, has implicated sexual selection in the speciation process. That study examined reproductive character displacement . . .

We use allometric analysis to explore how acoustic signals scale on individual body size and to test hypotheses about the factors shaping relationships between signals and body size. Across case studies spanning birds, crickets, tree crickets, and tre . . .

Premating behavioural isolation can facilitate divergence among natural populations. The red-eyed treefrog (Agalychnis callidryas) exhibits a strong population genetic structure that coincides with geographical differentiation in colour pattern and bo . . .

This study examined whether a measure of learning potential could predict work skill acquisition in schizophrenia beyond the prediction offered by a single administration assessment. Fifty-seven outpatients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disord . . .

Objectives. This randomized controlled trial studied the effects of a low- to moderate-intensity group exercise program on strength, endurance, mobility, and fall rates in fall-prone elderly men with chronic impairments.

SYNOPSIS. The ability of scleractinian corals to survive changes that are predicted in the global environment over the next century will lie in their physiological mechanisms of acclimatization. Corals display rapid modifications in behavior, morpholo . . .
