EXON ARRAY ANALYSIS USING RE-DEFINED PROBE SETS RESULTS IN RELIABLE IDENTIFICATION OF ALTERNATIVELY SPLICED GENES IN NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER

Exon Array Analysis using re-defined probe sets results in reliable identification of alternatively spliced genes in non-small cell lung cancer

Abstract Background Treatment of non-small cell lung cancer with novel targeted therapies is a major unmet clinical need.Alternative splicing is a mechanism which generates diverse protein products and is of functional relevance in cancer.Results In this study, a genome-wide analysis of the alteration of splicing patterns between lung cancer and Ag

Comparison of visual requirements and regulations for obtaining a copyright in different European countries and some open questions on their adequacy

We reviewed the current state of knowledge regarding visual function and its suitability as part of medical examinations for driving licenses.We focused only on Group 1 drivers.According to previous studies, visual acuity, which is the most common test, is weakly associated with a higher risk of road accidents, with a greater role of visual field.T

The effect of ambient temperature on the linear and nonlinear optical properties of truncated pyramidal-shaped InAs/GaAs quantum dot

In this work, we calculated the energy levels of truncatedpyramidal-shaped InAs/GaAs QDs by using the finiteelement method by taking into account the ambienttemperature, because the system under study is notsymmetric, it is impossible to use the analytical methodto find the wave functions and energy levels of theelectron, and the finite element met
