Disease relevance of dare

 

High impact information on dare

  • In mammals, AR plays a key role in the synthesis of all steroid hormones [2].
  • The 0.98 electrophoretic allele is associated with The TL, SC, CH and PP gene arrangements, while the 1.00 electrophoretic allele is characteristic of the AR and ST gene arrangements [3].
  • All six yeast AR-like open reading frames (ORFs) have been cloned into plasmid expression vectors [1].
  • Using BLAST searches against the human AR gene sequence, we identified six genes in the complete S. cerevisiae genome with strong homology to AR [1].
  • Ongoing studies are aimed at characterizing the phenotypes of yeast strains containing single and multiple knockouts of the AR-like genes [1].
