CHANGES IN EXPRESSION LEVELS OF ERYTHROCYTE AND IMMUNE-RELATED GENES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH HIGH ALTITUDE POLYCYTHEMIA

Changes in expression levels of erythrocyte and immune-related genes are associated with high altitude polycythemia

Abstract Background As a chronic mountain sickness(CMS) with the highest incidence and the greatest harm, the pathogenesis of high altitude polycythemia (HAPC) is still not fully understood.Methods 37 HAPC patients and 42 healthy subjects were selected from plateau, and peripheral venous blood samples were collected for transcriptome sequencing on

Net diversification rates of the woody plant genus Petalidium (Acanthaceae) are highest in the ancient and arid Namib Desert

At present, tropical arid biomes house less woody plant species diversity than tropical moist biomes, which could be due to lower rates of evolutionary diversification in the recent or distant past.Here, we study 12n/1200 wella the evolutionary diversification of Petalidium (Acanthaceae), a genus of 36 species of woody shrubs found in the Namib Des

DRAS-TIC Linked Data: Evenly Distributing the Past

Memory institutions must be able to grow a fully-functional repository incrementally as collections grow, without expensive enterprise storage, massive data migrations, and the performance limits that stem from the vertical storage strategies.The Digital Repository at Scale that Invites Computation (DRAS-TIC) Fedora research project, funded by a tw
