Germline mutation is the mechanism by which genetic variation in a population is created.Inferences derived from mutation rate models are fundamental bolso yerse to many population genetics methods.Previous models have demonstrated that nucleotides flanking polymorphic sites-the local sequence context-explain variation in the probability that a sit
Abstract In the present prospective study, 225 individuals in Kumamoto General Hospital, Japan, who received two-doses of BNT162b2 vaccine were enrolled/followed up over 150 days and neutralizing activity (NT50) of their sera and antiviral activity (EC50) of IgG purified from sera on day-60 post-1st-dose were determined against wild-type SARS-CoV-2
The genus Sidera (Hymenochaetales, Basidiomycota) comprises white-rot, mono- or dimitic fungi with poroid or hydnoid hymenophore.It has a worldwide distribution albeit with fewer species present in the Southern Hemisphere.Although recent studies revealed the existence of several new Sidera species, there are still taxonomic inconsistencies and obsc
Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green (ICG) has gained popularity in pediatric surgery as it has in general surgery.In addition, a water-jet dissector (WJD) has been successfully introduced in adult hepatic surgery.Tissue structures are dissected selectively and gently by the WJD.However, there have been no reports of hepa
