Old Lace (comics) a girl that they had witnessed their parents sacrificing. Old Lace has a telepathic bond with Gert. This lets her feel each other's thoughts and pain, and allows Old Lace to act on Gert's emotions. Old Lace got her name from Gert Yorkes, who had temporarily been using "Arsenic" as her codename (essentially making the pair Arsenic and Old Lace, after the play and film of the same name). Though Gertrude later dropped the codename after deciding that some things from her parents (such as her real name) were worth keeping, Old Lace's name stuck. During their final encounter with
Eps-Associated RNA element reconstitute EAR-mediated processive antitermination mechanism "in vitro" or in a Gram-negative heterologous host ("E. coli"), suggesting that additional "B. subtilis"-specific factor(s) may also be required for EAR antitermination. Eps-Associated RNA element The "eps"-Associated RNA element (EAR; also called "epsC" motif) is a conserved RNA motif associated with exopolysaccharide ("eps") or capsule biosynthesis genes in a subset of bacteria classified within the order Bacillales. It was initially discovered in "Bacillus subtilis", located between the second and third gene in the "eps" operon (i.e., between "epsB" and "epsC"). Deletion of the EAR element impairs biofilm formation. The combination of comparative sequence alignments
