MT is a small metal-binding protein that is characterized by its high thiol content; 20 of its 61 amino acids are cysteine, all of which are in the reduced state and are involved in its metal-binding properties.
Previous analyses with a single mitochondrial (mt) gene or a small number of mt genes either provide weak support or a large unresolved polytomy for ursids.
Previous investigations of phylogenetic relationships among the bear species mainly utilized analysis of portions of a single mitochondrial (mt) gene or a small number of mt genes [ 8, 10- 13].
The Welfelts' house is east of Eighty-second Avenue, in the Mt. Scott neighborhood, which is on the steep side of Mt. Scott, a small extinct volcano.
In the present study, we utilized a long-PCR-coupled 454 technological approach to sequence the complete mt genome from a small portion of the genomic DNA from a single adult of Haemonchus contortus (Nematoda: Strongylida).
The animal mitochondrial (mt) DNA is a small, extrachromosomal, and circular double-stranded DNA molecule of 12 20 kb in size, and usually contains the same set of 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes and 22 transfer RNA genes [ 36- 38].
The results suggest that MT-I and MT-II belong to a small multigene family in sweet potato (Figure 2A).
Now it is another balmy July night, in 2001, and the former police officer, Charles Robertson, is peacefully taking in an amateur baseball game in Mt. Wolf, Pa., a small Susquehanna River town some 10 miles outside of York, the city where he has been mayor for nearly eight years.
Other ways of indicating depth included the Chinese tripartite composition method used in Buddhist pictures, where a large form is placed in the foreground, a smaller in the midground, and yet a smaller in the background; this can be seen in Hokusai's Great Wave, with a large boat in the foreground, a smaller behind it, and a small Mt Fuji behind them.
We have mapped the Mt-NS1 locus within a small genomic region on M. truncatula chromosome 8.
