COMPARATIVE GENOMIC MAPPING OF THE BOVINE FRAGILE HISTIDINE TRIAD (FHIT) TUMOUR SUPPRESSOR GENE: CHARACTERIZATION OF A 2 MB BAC CONTIG COVERING THE LOCUS, COMPLETE ANNOTATION OF THE GENE, ANALYSIS OF CDNA AND OF PHYSIOLOGICAL EXPRESSION PROFILES

Comparative genomic mapping of the bovine Fragile Histidine Triad (FHIT) tumour suppressor gene: characterization of a 2 Mb BAC contig covering the locus, complete annotation of the gene, analysis of cDNA and of physiological expression profiles

Abstract Background The Fragile Histidine Triad gene (FHIT) is an oncosuppressor implicated in many human cancers, including vesical tumors.FHIT is frequently hit by deletions caused by fragility at FRA3B, the most active of human common fragile sites, where FHIT lays.Vesical tumors affect also cattle, including animals grazing in the wild on brack

Transient adhesion in a non-fully detached contact

Abstract Continuous approaching and detaching displacement usually occurs in an adhesion test.Here, we found a transient adhesion force at the end of a non-fully detached contact.This force occurred when the nominal detaching displacement was less than the traditional quasi-static theory predicted zero force peavey kb1 point.The transient adhesion
