Proteomics in non-human primates: utilizing RNA-Seq data to improve protein identification by mass spectrometry in vervet monkeys

Abstract Background Shotgun proteomics utilizes a database search strategy to compare detected mass spectra to a library of theoretical spectra derived from reference genome information.As such, the robustness of proteomics results is contingent upon the completeness and accuracy of the gene annotation in the reference genome.For animal models of d

Inhibition in the Human Auditory Cortex.

Despite their indispensable roles in sensory processing, little is known about inhibitory interneurons in humans.Inhibitory postsynaptic potentials cannot be recorded non-invasively, at least in a pure form, in humans.We herein sought to clarify whether prepulse inhibition (PPI) in the auditory cortex reflected inhibition via interneurons using mag

The Quality Assessment of Different Geolocalisation Methods for a Sensor System to Monitor Structural Health of Monumental Objects

Cultural heritage objects are affected by a wide range of factors causing their deterioration and decay over time such as ground deformations, changes in hydrographic conditions, vibrations or excess of moisture, which can cause scratches and cracks formation in the case of historic buildings.The electromagnetic spectroscopy has been widely used fo
