Preliminary analysis of osteocyte lacunar density in long bones of tetrapods: all measures are bigger in sauropod dinosaurs.

Osteocytes harbour much potential for paleobiological studies.Synchrotron radiation and spectroscopic analyses are providing fascinating data on osteocyte density, size and orientation in fossil taxa.However, such studies may be costly and time consuming.Here we describe an uncomplicated and inexpensive method to measure osteocyte lacunar densities

Human-specific protein isoforms produced by novel splice sites in the human genome after the human-chimpanzee divergence

Abstract Background Evolution of splice sites is a well-known phenomenon Alternator Bracket that results in transcript diversity during human evolution.Many novel splice sites are derived from repetitive elements and may not contribute to protein products.Here, we analyzed annotated human protein-coding exons and identified human-specific splice si
