TL;DR: To understand the biology and evolution of ruminants, the cattle genome was sequenced to about sevenfold coverage and provides a resource for understanding mammalian evolution and accelerating livestock genetic improvement for milk and meat production.

TL;DR: In this paper, solid base catalyst for biodiesel production with environmental benignity, transesterification of edible soybean oil with refluxing methanol was carried out in the presence of calcium oxide (CaO), -hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), or -carbonate (CaCO3).

TL;DR: People with C376T and/or C421A polymorphisms may express low amounts of BCRP, and this low BCRp expression might result in hypersensitivity of normal cells to such anticancer drugs as irinotecan and mitoxantrone.

TL;DR: When serum-starved chicken embryo fibroblasts transformed by a virus mutant temperature-sensitive for transformation were shifted from the nonpermissive to permissive temperature, an increase of 50-100% in the labeling of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate, phosphatide 4,5-bisph phosphate, and phosph atidic acid was observed, as compared to uninfected cells.

TL;DR: It was suggested that ABCG2 preferentially transports sulfate conjugates and that E1S and DHEAS are the potential physiological substrates for this transporter.
