Molecular phenotyping of diverse muscle cells obtained by deep sequencing of CAGE libraries from diverse human muscle types
<p>Here we present the results of molecular phenotyping of diverse muscle cells obtained by CAGE-Seq. The repository provides the data on aggregated gene-level read counts and allele-specific events at single-nucleotide variants in the machine-readable format, see README for details.</p>
Cultivating a Deeper Understanding: Comparative Microbiological Experiments on the Antimicrobial Potential of Kyphi
<p><em>Kyphi </em>(<em>k3pt</em>/<em>k3pw</em>) was used as both incense and medication over a long period in ancient Egypt, as is attested in several sources (e.g.: Papyrus Ebers). The present work is a continuation of two recent papers and a book concerning the comparative study of the ancient Egyptian kyphi and the Orthodox Holy Chrism, using <em>kyphi </em>earlier confected during the 1st Experiment at the premises of the Chemical Laboratory of one of us (M.F.). Based on the recent results obtained from previous papers, this study attempts, in a third independent Laboratory to:</p>
<ol>
<li>Replicate a part of the previous experiments;</li>
<li>Extend the scientific investigation, comparing the effectiveness of ancient Egyptian <em>kyphi </em>and pure smoke on other micro–organisms; and</li>
<li>Compare the effectiveness of <em>kyphi </em>confected during the 1st Experiment (not containing all ingredients) with that of <em>kyphi</em> confected during the 2nd Experiment (containing all its 16 actual ingredients).</li>
</ol>
<p>The possible antifungal and antimicrobial activity of <em>kyphi </em>is studied by performing fumigation experiments to cultivations of <em>Candida albicans</em> (R.) B. [Gram (+) fungus], <em>Escherichia coli</em> M. [Gram (–) bacterium], <em>Klebsiella pneumoniæ</em> S.&T. ssp <em>pneumoniæ</em> [Gram (–) bacterium], <em>Staphylococcus hominis</em> K.&S. ssp <em>hominis </em>[Gram (+) coccus], and <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em> (S.) M. [Gram (–) bacterium] in different conditions. The results show that the action of fumigation (pure smoke and <em>kyphi</em>) on selective and differential culture media has almost no effect on the growth of micro–organisms. However, there is a clear direct effect of smoke (pure smoke and <em>kyphi</em>) on the micro–organisms that appears stronger with <em>kyphi </em>in all dilutions (and mostly in 1/1000), with the exception of some multi–drug resistant strains. Based on the fact that strains resistant to antibiotics are also resistant to <em>kyphi</em>, this may mean that <em>kyphi </em>exercises its antimicrobial action probably towards the same molecular targets.</p>

Lettuce or Palm Spathe? Re–Interpreting Artefact UC 34696 in the Petrie Museum, London
<p>Petrie described a small artefact he found at Coptos as representing either the lower part of a plant or a palm spathe and the object has also been described as a lettuce model. All of these descriptions have passed into the literature. Evidence is presented in this paper suggesting that the artefact resembles none of these identifications and offers further hypotheses as to the possible interpretation of the object. </p>
