Demosthenes had five triremes and their complements of soldiers as a garrison, and was reinforced by 40 hoplites from a Messenian ship that happened to stop at Pylos.
Individual codons code for specific amino acids. A gene is a sequence of nucleotides along a DNA strand-with 'start' and 'stop' codons and other regulatory elements-that specifies a sequence of amino acids that are linked together to form a protein.
Disease genes (monogenic and polygenic) were excluded from the set of human protein-coding genes, and the rest of the genes were termed as ND genes. Following the same selection criteria of disease genes, we have obtained 35,971 ND genes by using the BlastZ program (Schwartz et al. 2003).
