IDENTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS OF SERPIN-FAMILY GENES BY HOMOLOGY AND SYNTENY ACROSS THE 12 SEQUENCED DROSOPHILID GENOMES

Identification and analysis of serpin-family genes by homology and synteny across the 12 sequenced Drosophilid genomes

Abstract Background The Drosophila melanogaster genome contains 29 serpin genes, 12 as single transcripts and 17 within 6 gene clusters.Many of these serpins have a conserved "hinge" motif characteristic of active proteinase inhibitors.However, a substantial proportion (42%) lacks this motif and represents non-inhibitory serpin-fold proteins of unk

A Review on Biosurfactant Applications in the Petroleum Industry

The inadequacy of worldwide fossil fuel resources, combined with increasing energy demands, encourages global attention to either using alternative energy resources or improving the recovery factor and produce larger quantities from present reservoirs.Among all enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods, surfactant injection is a well-known technique that
