TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the sequence and gene catalogue of the long arm of chromosome 21 and sequenced 33,546,361 base pairs (bp) of DNA with very high accuracy, the largest contig being 25,491,867 bp.

TL;DR: IFN‐γ induced or already present in tissues can impact downstream pleiotropic functions mediated by ILC2s, such as inflammation and tissue repair.
Whole-genome screening indicates a possible burst of formation of processed pseudogenes and Alu repeats by particular L1 subfamilies in ancestral primates
Kazuhiko Ohshima,Masahira Hattori,Tetsusi Yada,Takashi Gojobori,Yoshiyuki Sakaki,Norihiro Okada +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that a burst of formation of PPs and Alus occurred in the genome of ancestral primates and one possible mechanism is that proteins encoded by members of particular L1 subfamilies acquired an enhanced ability to recognize cytosolic RNAs in trans.

TL;DR: At the mucosal surface, where microbes encounter continuous attack by host defenses, BF evasion of the immune system is favored, and its colonization and infectious potential are increased.

TL;DR: Analysis of fecal samples in Papua New Guinea highlanders showed Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes were the two dominant phyla, while at genus level Prevotella was the most dominant genus, but statistical evaluation of potential association between nutritional status and bacterial abundance at phyla and genus levels both showed no significant difference.
