Journal ArticleDOI

Nitrogen dioxide and ozone as factors in the availability of lead from lead-based paints.

TL;DR: Exposure to NO(2) and O(3) increased the lead in wipe samples of stainless steel surfaces painted with alkyd low gloss solvent lead-based paint, with corresponding changes in surface morphology indicated by reflectometry and scanning electron microscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI

A large-scale RNA interference screen identifies genes that regulate autophagy at different stages

TL;DR: A large-scale RNA interference screen in K562 human chronic myeloid leukemia cells identified genes that regulate autophagy at different stages, which helps decode Autophagy regulation in cancer and offers novel avenues to develop autophagic-related therapies for cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sexy gene conversions: locating gene conversions on the X-chromosome

TL;DR: Through phylogenetic analyses and synteny evidence, it is shown that gene conversion has played an important role in the evolution of these gene families and that gene Conversion has occurred independently in both primates and rodents.
Journal ArticleDOI

HMMvar-func: a new method for predicting the functional outcome of genetic variants

TL;DR: The results show that the proposed computational method is effective in fine grained prediction of the functional outcome of a mutation, and can be used to help elucidate the molecular mechanism of disease/cancer causing mutations.
