THE EVOLUTION OF VERTEBRATE SOMATOSTATIN RECEPTORS AND THEIR GENE REGIONS INVOLVES EXTENSIVE CHROMOSOMAL REARRANGEMENTS

The evolution of vertebrate somatostatin receptors and their gene regions involves extensive chromosomal rearrangements

Abstract Background Somatostatin and its related neuroendocrine peptides have a wide variety of physiological functions that are mediated by five somatostatin receptors with gene names SSTR1-5 in mammals.To resolve their evolution in vertebrates Beach Toy we have investigated the SSTR genes and a large number of adjacent gene families by phylogeny

How does innovation arise in the bicycle sector? The users’ role and their betrayal in the case of the ‘gravel bike’

This paper examines the emergence of the ‘gravel bike’, a new and successful category of sports bicycles that gained prominence in the global cycling industry in the late 2010s, to advance the understanding of the role of users in the processes of sociotechnical innovation.The study traces the development of gravel cycling and the gravel bike w
