Minor histocompatibility (H) antigens are typically identified as barriers to transplantation in graft exchange experiments between major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-matched hosts (Bailey 1975; Snell and Bunker 1960). This approach has allowed...
The male sterility and histoincompatibility mutant, mshi, results from a recessive mutation that arose spontaneously in the BALB/cBy inbred mouse strain. Using a 402-member BALB/cBy-mshi/mshi (BALB/cBy-mshi C57BL/6J) F1 backcross panel, the...
RNA editing is a mechanism which is used to increase the number of possible protein products from a specific gene. The catalytic enzymes for RNA editing are known to be present in a wide variety of organisms, including many different insects. It...
A-to-I RNA editing is an enzymatic reaction commonly found in the nervous system of various organisms. The mechanism behind this post-transcriptional modification is the hydrolytic deamination of Adenosine to Inosine by a family of enzymes known as...
