Down-regulation of BRCA1 in developing mouse retina implicates the attenuation of DNA repair. by Pei Chen (252989)

“…BRCA1 in retina significantly and gradually decreased with the age of the animal. <b>C,</b> DNA end joining efficiency was detected by rejoining the linearized plasmid [pcDNA3–1-His] with 5′ overhang [EcoRI] and blunt [EcoRV] ends in the presence of the nuclear protein extracts from retinal neurocytes. …”

Dietary net energy for gilts from 25 to 100 kg body weight by Danilo Alves Marçal (5837930)
