However, measuring these is challenging, due to the low concentratio... Read More about Bioavailability of organic contaminants in sediments..

An inductive logic programming approach to learning which uORFs regulate gene expression. (2008)
Thesis
SELPI 2008. An inductive logic programming approach to learning which uORFs regulate gene expression. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Some upstream open reading frames (uORFs) regulate gene expression (i.e. they are functional) and can play key roles in keeping organisms healthy. However, how uORFs are involved in gene regulation is not het fully understood. In order to get a compl...
