Serine/threonine phosphatase calcineurin(CN)is a unique but confounding calcium/calmodulin-mediated enzyme,which is composed of a catalytic subunit A(CNA)and a regulatory subunit B(CNB).We cloned six transcripts for C...
Insects in the Order Odonata are highly subject to infection by gregarine parasites. However, despite the important ecological roles that insects play in every ecosystem in which they exist, little research has been d...
