Fecal microbiome of wild and captive chimpanzees was characterized in recent study [32] using PCR-based methods such as temperature gradient gel electrophoresis and amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analyses (ARDRA) of the gene encoding the bacterial 16S rRNA.
Transposition footprints from the rice MITE mPing, the only group of MITEs observed to be actively transposing, have been characterized in several recent studies [ 21- 24].
Although only a minority have been characterized in detail, recent studies showed that lncRNAs participates in diverse biological processes including cell cycle control and cell differentiation through distinct mechanisms, such as imprinting, chromosome dosage-compensation, epigenetic regulation, mRNA splicing, nuclear and cytoplasmic trafficking [ 30- 32].
Although the pig genome and transcriptome profiles have been characterized in some breeds in recent years, the transcriptome profiling still need further improvement in the characterization of both more tissues (organs) and more different developmental stages of these organs.
Group 1 CD1-restricted T cell responses have mostly been characterized in the context of mycobacterial antigens, although recent studies have shown that humans have a significant proportion of autoreactive group 1 CD1-restricted T cells (de Jong et al., 2010; de Lalla et al., 2011).
To this aim, we used two dissimilar model systems/DNA templates, one of which contained the well-characterized tac promoter and another the slyD gene promoter, which was characterized in our recent work [24].
The proteome of this fraction was characterized in a recent targeted study by de Wet et al. [ 58].
Although the effect of substituting E96 on the catalytic activity was characterized in this recent study, there is currently no solution data for direct metal binding by APE1.
