Abstract Background The genetics of advanced biliary tract cancers (BTC), which encompass intra- and extra-hepatic cholangiocarcinomas as well as gallbladder carcinomas, are heterogeneous and remain to be fully defined.Methods To better characterize mutations in established known oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes we tested a mass spectrometric b
Deep learning (DL) is an effective approach to identifying plant diseases.Among several DL-based techniques, transfer learning (TL) produces significant results in terms of improved accuracy.However, the usefulness of TL has not yet been explored using weights optimized from agricultural datasets.Furthermore, the detection of plant diseases in diff
Non-lethal heat shock boosts bacterial and viral disease tolerance in shrimp, possibly due to increases in endogenous heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) and/or immune proteins.To further understand the mechanisms protecting shrimp against Dryer Fan Blade infection, Hsp70 and the mRNAs encoding the immune-related proteins prophenoloxidase (proPO), peroxi
This study was carried out on 114 Brown Swiss cattle reared in intensive conditions at Ataturk University Food and Livestock Application and Research Center and at the private cattle farm found in Erzurum province.Genotypic structures were examined in terms of Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-II gene locus and the distribution of genotypes and alle
