Novel protein antigen (JHP940) from the genomic plasticity region of Helicobacter pylori induces TNF-alpha and Interleukin- 8 secretion by human macrophages
Plasticity region of the H. pylori genome comprises strain specific gene loci. We performed genotyping and functional biology of one such locus (jhp940) that was previously found to be functionally…

Functional aspects of titanosaur osteoderms
Though titanosaur osteoderms are not common findings, these elements are recorded widely in Gondwana and part of Laurasia. This assembly known by the date offers few resources for studies on the ec…

A periodic pattern of SNPs in the human genome
By surveying all validated SNPs in the human genome we have found that SNPs positioned 1, 2, 4, 6 or 8 bp apart are more frequent than SNPs 3, 5, 7 or 9 bp apart. This holds even when we correct fo…
