## Summary An experimental cattle population was screened for polymorphisms in the leptin gene and five SNPs were found in the regions containing the coding sequences. The association of these polymorphisms with feed intake and fat‐related traits was evaluated. The results suggest an association be

We have examined the effect of mutating the Olf-1 binding motif of the olfactory marker protein (OMP) promoter in determining olfactory neuron-specific gene expression in adult tissues and during embryonic development. The proximal Olf-1 motif located 170 nucleotides upstream of the transcription st
A 1,2,4-triazole resistant mutant of S. typhimurium has been isolated, in which serine transacetylase activity is seven times higher than in wild type. Partially purified serine transacetylase from a strain carrying the trz-312 mutation has kinetic properties which are virtually identical to those o
The forkhead box G1 (FOXG1)gene has recently been associated with the congenital variant of Rett syndrome, and so far 17 mutations have been reported. We screened the coding region in 150 patients affected by postnatal microcephaly, and identified two mutations: the c.326C>T (p.P109L) substitution i
