Rabies case confirmed in UK
Health Protection Agency confirms potentially fatal disease in patient who was bitten by a dog in south AsiaA case of rabies has been confirmed in the UK, the Health Protection Agency (HPA) said on Wednesday. The potentially fatal disease was confirmed in a patient from London who was bitten by a dog in south Asia.The patient, whose age and gender were not given, is receiving hospital treatment and all relevant contacts have been followed up, the HPA said.Dr Brian McCloskey, director of the HPA for London, said: It is important to stress that there is no risk to the general public as a result of this case or to patients and visitors at the hospital where the patient is receiving treatment.Despite there being tens of thousands of rabies cases each year worldwide, there have been no docume...
The genome sequence of the wine yeast VIN7 reveals an allotriploid hybrid genome with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces kudriavzevii origins
AbstractThe vast majority of wine fermentations are performed principally by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However there are a growing number of instances in which other species of Saccharomyces play a predominant role. Interestingly, the presence of these other yeast species occurs generally via the formation of interspecific hybrids that contain genomic contributions from both S. cerevisiae and non‐S. cerevisiae species. However, despite the large number of wine strains that are characterised at the genomic level, there remains limited information regarding the detailed genomic structure of hybrids used in winemaking. To address this, we describe the genome sequence of the thiol‐releasing commercial wine yeast hybrid VIN7. VIN7 is shown to be an almost complete allotriploid interspcifi...div id=medwormpbiMedWorm Message:/i/b Please support the a href=http://www.doctorsinchains.org/ target=_blankDoctors In Chains/a campaign for the a href=http://www.doctorsinchains.org/medics/a tortured and sentenced for up to 15 years in a href=http://www.doctorsinchains.org/Bahrain/a. a href=https://twitter.com/#!/search/%23FreeDoctors#FreeDoctors/a/p/div
