THEORETICAL ANALYSIS OF POLYCOMB-TRITHORAX SYSTEMS PREDICTS THAT POISED CHROMATIN IS BISTABLE AND NOT BIVALENT

Theoretical analysis of Polycomb-Trithorax systems predicts that poised chromatin is bistable and not bivalent

Polycomb and Trithorax group proteins regulate silent and active neflintw-r6mpw gene expression states, but also allow poised states in pluripotent cells.Here the authors present a mathematical model that integrates data on Polycomb/ Trithorax biochemistry into a single coherent framework which predicts that poised chromatin is not bivalent as prev

Integrated Management of European Cherry Fruit Fly Rhagoletis cerasi (L.): Situation in Switzerland and Europe

The European cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi (L.) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a highly destructive pest.The low tolerance for damaged fruit requires preventive insecticide treatments for a marketable crop.The phase-out of old insecticides threatens cherry production throughout the European Union (EU).Consequently, new management techniques and t
