Functional View on DNA. Genes, Expression and Proteins‌ In all life on earth the DNA holds the heritable information from one generation to the next. We divide the DNA sequence of nucleotides into regions: coding and non-coding regions. The coding regions hold the genes, which are transcribed and translated into proteins. Non-coding regions take part in secondary processes (see more for exam- ple in Xxxxxx et al. [2]; Xxxxxx et al. [60]). A coding region gets transcribed and translated into protein. It is flanked by specific start and stop codons (triplets of nucleotides encoding an amino acid). Flanking this, untranslated regions (UTR, “empty spaces”) can hold enhancers or structural features to influence the expression of the gene. The coding region con- sists of introns and exons. DNA is transcribed into pre-messenger ribonucleic acid (RNA) before splicing takes place. The introns are spliced (“cut”) out during xxxx- scription, so that only the exons are left for the protein. This messenger RNA gets chemically sealed by a 5’ cap and 3’ poly-A tail. Protected against degrading pro- teins, it now traverses the nucleus membrane into the intracellular space. Here ribosomes translate the mRNA into the corresponding protein. Figure 1.2 gives an overview over the expression process of proteins. The number of RNA molecules measured in a cell is known as gene expression. We assume relative differences between gene expression of different genes as a proxy for relative amounts of protein of that gene in the cell. Proteins are the active component in a cell performing the function of the gene. The functionality of the gene is to provide the information for the protein it encodes. Interaction with other genes and non-coding regions or proteins changes the expression of a gene over time. This enables a cell to respond to differing environmental circumstances in and around it. Thus, if we measure a gene to be differentially expressed under certain (changes of) circumstances, we can, with high likelihood, assign this gene (and its transcript) to respond or take part in the handling of this circumstance. Not only other genes and proteins can influence gene expression. The non cod- ing regions of DNA contain so-called biomarkers, which are sequence elements, that can influence expression. One of which is a mutation at one singular point – a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) – in the genetic code. If the SNP is in and around a coding region, it can influence its expression. SNPs can occur ins...

  • Loop Provisioning Involving Integrated Digital Loop Carriers 2.6.1 Where Xxxx has requested an Unbundled Loop and BellSouth uses IDLC systems to provide the local service to the End User and BellSouth has a suitable alternate facility available, BellSouth will make such alternative facilities available to Xxxx. If a suitable alternative facility is not available, then to the extent it is technically feasible, BellSouth will implement one of the following alternative arrangements for Xxxx (e.g. hairpinning): 1. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to any spare copper that exists to the customer premises. 2. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to an existing DLC that is not integrated. 3. If capacity exists, provide "side-door" porting through the switch. 4. If capacity exists, provide "Digital Access Cross Connect System (DACS)- door" porting (if the IDLC routes through a DACS prior to integration into the switch). 2.6.2 Arrangements 3 and 4 above require the use of a designed circuit. Therefore, non- designed Loops such as the SL1 voice grade and UCL-ND may not be ordered in these cases. 2.6.3 If no alternate facility is available, and upon request from Xxxx, and if agreed to by both Parties, BellSouth may utilize its Special Construction (SC) process to determine the additional costs required to provision facilities. Xxxx will then have the option of paying the one-time SC rates to place the Loop.

  • Unbundled Channelization (Multiplexing) 5.7.1 To the extent NewPhone is purchasing DS1 or DS3 or STS-1 Dedicated Transport pursuant to this Agreement, Unbundled Channelization (UC) provides the optional multiplexing capability that will allow a DS1 (1.544 Mbps) or DS3 (44.736 Mbps) or STS-1 (51.84 Mbps) Network Elements to be multiplexed or channelized at a BellSouth central office. Channelization can be accomplished through the use of a multiplexer or a digital cross-connect system at the discretion of BellSouth. Once UC has been installed, NewPhone may request channel activation on a channelized facility and BellSouth shall connect the requested facilities via COCIs. The COCI must be compatible with the lower capacity facility and ordered with the lower capacity facility. This service is available as defined in NECA 4. 5.7.2 BellSouth shall make available the following channelization systems and interfaces: 5.7.2.1 DS1 Channelization System: channelizes a DS1 signal into a maximum of twenty- four (24)
