MIDAS: Computer application for the identification of exact and inaccurate microsatellites in genomic sequences

Microsatellites are tandem repeat, frequent and diverse short sequences in the genomes of all species, Snow Pants constituting important markers in multiple areas of genomics-based research.Associations of these markers have been found in a significant number of human diseases.Vaccine development has shown how pathogens can evade the immune respons

LV305, a dendritic cell-targeting integration-deficient ZVexTM-based lentiviral vector encoding NY-ESO-1, induces potent anti-tumor immune response

We have engineered an integration-deficient lentiviral vector, LV305, to deliver the tumor antigen NY-ESO-1 to human dendritic cells in vivo through pseudotyping with a modified Sindbis virus envelop protein.Mice immunized once with LV305 developed strong, dose-dependent, multifunctional, and cytotoxic NY-ESO-1-specific cluster of differentiation 8

A Review on Potential Antimutagenic Plants of Saudi Arabia

Mutagenic complications can cause disease in both present as well as future generations.The disorders are caused by exogenous and endogenous agents that damage DNA beyond the normal repair mechanism.Rapid industrialization and the population explosion have contributed immensely to changes in the environment, leading to unavoidable exposure to mutag
