So far, there have been only a few studies correlating experimental pain with the levels of gonadal ...

How genomes are organized within cells and how the 3D architecture of a genome influences cellular functions are significant questions in biology. A bacterial genomic DNA resides inside cells in a highly condensed and functionally organized form called nucleoid (nucleus-like structure without a nuclear membrane). The Escherichia coli chromosome or ...

Interspecific hybridization is the process where closely related species mate and produce offspring with admixed genomes . The genomic revolution has shown that hybridization is common, and that it may represent an important source of novel variation . Although most interspecific hybrids are sterile or less fit than their parents, some may survive ...

Viral quasispecies refers to a population structure that consists of extremely large numbers of variant genomes , termed mutant spectra , mutant swarms or mutant clouds. Fueled by high mutation rates , mutants arise continually, and they change in relative frequency as viral replication proceeds. The term quasispecies was adopted from a theory of t...
